Haswell and older will see more-significant slowdowns, Skylake and newer will see less-significant slowdowns... what about Broadwell? I have a 6850k.

- ryan-allen 9y agoOn the bright side, finally a reason for me to upgrade my desktop 3770k?
- ctolkien 9y agoStill rocking my 3770K here too - that thing is rock solid.

- ryan-allen 9y agoyeah, you're right there. in actuality i still can't pull the trigger, it's a perfectly fine machine and nearly 5 years old if i remember right. it could do with a pcie sdd and maybe a gpu upgrade but it's still perfectly serviceable. the only thing that has failed is the motherboard (was able to replace that for 110 AUD) and the CPU fan (i bought the wrong one and burned the bearings out because it was for lower TDP cpus).
- chrisper 9y ago6850k has launch date 2016. So you are fine. Microsoft claims CPUs post 2015 only have unnoticable slowdown.
- grumpopotamus 9y agoGreat, thanks! I'm mainly on Ubuntu anyways, so I'll still have to see how I'm affected when I update my microcode.
- cMax347 9y agoI have a i7 5500 so I am also interested in this. Broadwell is a shrink of Haswell (22nm->14nm), a "tick" in intel terminology. So Broadwell users might not be that lucky?
