*Haswell Refresh: Intel's New Z97 Platform Explored*

Nearly six years have passed since the Core i7 series debuted as a 45nm

part on the LGA1366 platform, which Intel has been refining over many

iterations through its tick-tock philosophy that follows every

architectural update with a die shrink. Today's release isn't a tick or a

tock, it's simply a refresh. But while we don't expect much more than

slight speed bumps, the company has also released new 9-series chipsets,

and we happen to have a few motherboards on hand.

 

Thank you.
