Intel Broadwell Platform delayed again

Intel's Broadwell chips have seen several delays over the course of 2013 and 2014, and were originally slated to enter production in late 2013 before production was delayed until Q1 2014 and then Q3 2014. The delays are reportedly due to problems with the 14-nanometer process used to manufacture the chips.

The last to launch are going to be "H" and "S" two-chip platforms. The "H" chips will have 2 or 4 CPU cores, and GT2 or GT3e graphics. The "S" processors should work in existing socket 1150, and they will have 4 CPU cores and GT3e GPU. The samples of "H" and "S" series microprocessors are expected in April or May 2015, and their RTS window is weeks 29 - 36 2015, i.e. from mid-July 2015 to the beginning of September 2015.

According to the site, while Intel will begin production on its extremely low power Core M processors in July and August for a 2014 launch, production on the U and H Broadwell chip series will not begin until much later in the year.
Broadwell was supposed to already be available according to Intel's roadmap.

Back in May, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich promised Broadwell processors for the 2014 holiday season, but it appears that the promised chips will be limited to the company's Core M processor series, used in ultra low power products like two-in-one computers.
I have been planning on buying upgrading to Skylake architecture when it comes out. Skylake was originally planned to be available in mid 2015. Now it looks like it may be mid 2016 or even early 2017.
Check that:

According to Intel, the Broadwell delays will not affect the company's next line of processors, Skylake, as the chips are based on new architecture. Broadwell, however, will have a very short lifespan as Skylake has a prospective late 2015 release date.
So it may be advantageous to completely ignore buying a computer in the first half of 2015 with an improved architecture only being a few months out at that point.

From a tech board perspective, that sucks.
From the perspective of the average consumer, the gains are too incremental to care. I am surprised to see it get delayed this much.

The beginning of the end of Mohr's law....
I can't possibly see how Intel can maintain their 2 year per node cadence going forward. You can't beat physics. It's only going to get harder and harder as the gate lengths decrease further.

Completely agree. There is going to have to be a materials (graphene) breakthrough or a completely new processing paradigm to really make a significant difference going forward.
