Intel will shortly launch its new Broadwell line of CPUs, which are compatible with LGA1150 socket and based on 14nm manufacturing process. The launch seems to be imminent and the guys from HKEPC, and the well known overclocker Lam, already have a working sample and have published a couple of benchmark results.

The screenshot and images from the official Facebook page unfortunately do not show much, but we are already able to understand that the used motherboard for testing is ASRock's Z97 OC Formula, which is also compatible with Haswell and Haswell Refresh CPUs. The screenshot also shows a short test of wPrime 32M where the Core i7-5775C managed to score approximately 4.4 seconds at a frequency of 4800 MHz.

We quickly checked the result at HWBOT and we can see that the Core i7-4790K at similar clock is about half a second slower. Unfortunately, we do not have any details regarding the memory settings so this comparison may not be totally correct. We will definitely keep our eyes for more scores as these should show up pretty soon.
