After looking it up again, it seems only 9 of the Haswell refresh CPUs are (kinda) known so far. The other 11 are still a mystery. Of those 9, the i3-4150T is the only one that might be used in a NUC. Dual core @ 2.9 GHz, 35W TDP.

Thanks for the info. Mac Minis use i7-3615QM (4 core, 2.3ghz, 45w) and i7-3720QM (4 core, 2.6ghz, 45w). So the replacement would be something similar but better, I assume.
New rumor today is that the Haswell refresh will be launched 1 month earlier than planned, meaning April instead of May.
Confirmed! Well, the number of EUs hasn't been confirmed, but the unlocked K series desktop Broadwell CPUs will have Iris Pro graphics :D
Also confirmed are some new unlocked Haswell CPUs available "mid-year". They are improving the TIM on these new Haswells and are supposedly "re-engineered for enhanced performance and overclocking."
Haswell-E will still have an 8-core processor and still support DDR4.
All of this confirmed by Intel itself.
Sounds nicer than the original MHz bump, that's for sure. What I'd like to see is the performance of one of these new special O/Cing chips w/ the iris pro graphics...and then turn the graphics OFF and use that 128MB onboard as a giant cache. :D. Now that would be a crunching chip. Could you imagine going from 8 to 128MB of cache? Sure it would be what, like L4, but it's got to give some performance gain because of the sheer size of it. :)
Booooooo @ Intel
Here's how it looks like it's going to work out:
Haswell refresh non-K series will work on current 8-series motherboards, such as ones with the Z87 chipset, etc.
Haswell refresh non-K series will *also* work on the upcoming 9 series motherboards
Official launch is May 11th.
Pricing for an i7-4790 non-K looks to be about $330.
Haswell refresh K series *WILL NOT* work on current 8-series motherboards :mad:
Official launch is in June during Computex
The 9-series motherboards will be available in April, though you won't have any CPUs to put in them :/ Possibly retailers won't bother trying to sell them til May because of this. Or maybe they will...like....Newegg!!! Gigabyte GA-Z97-UD7$209.99On sale now for $289.99 Add to cart. See what other people bought with this purchase: *you notice listings for an i7-2600K and a Titan Z, which you can get in a combo deal for only $4289.50!! (you save $0.49!!!1!!!one!!!)*
*cough*
Haswell-E is looking like September and the fewest number of cores you can get on one of those CPUs is 6 (as of right now).
@Zombie: Alright we've got the 4810MQ (yes, it's not QM this time, but MQ) 4 cores/8 threads, 2.8GHz (3.8GHz turbo), HD4600 graphics (the 3720QM has HD4000), 47W Seems to be about on par with what you have.
Thanks for the info! Maybe Apple will announce a new Mac mini with that chip.
What a crock. Wonder what they're going to claim is their "necessity" to put the K chip on the 9 chipset motherboards? Pretty weak sauce, considering the non K CPUs can work on both. There's absolutely no difference other than a locked / unlocked multi. To claim they need a new chipset for that is to admit we just lost 25 years of technology in an instant! :p
Well Jed, you can thank AMD for Intel's current need to gouge the hell out of the market. Had AMD not been playing the "Let's see how cheap we can get" in regards to real, bona fide R&D for so many years. Now they are too far behind the curve and can never again bite at Intel's heels.
April 14th for new non-K CPUs
May 11th for 9-series motherboards
