I've not heard anything about the Broadwell chips supposedly coming out in Q2 2015 for some time now. Anyone spot a link I missed? I'm hoping they'll still be backwards compatible with current-gen motherboards/ram/etc.
E3-12xx v4?

Broadwell yes, skylake no. Skylake should be this year as well... tick late, tock on time.
Read something a few weeks back, there are 2 new versions of E3 coming this year, one which is an upgrade to v3/1150 socket, later in the year is a new E3 chip/socket / board coming which has 64Gb memory instead of 32 plus some other features..
There is supposed to be a new socket soon but it would be odd for them to put 64Gb of RAM on the E3... Otherwise there would be a huge overlap between E3 and Xeon-D.
Not really. Just the normal progression supporting newer larger DRAM chips. 2 channels of 2 total ranks of 16gb drams get you to 64GB of RAM. Xeon-Ds differentiation is about a lot more than just the DRAM capacity.
I'm buying a v3, or I'm buying a v4. Unless there's a big price difference, I can see no reason to buy the v3.
V3 is out. V4 is not. But when V4 comes out, we will not buy V3 anymore. Easy.
Here is the paragraphs from the article.."
""Xeon E3-1200 v4 series will be available sometime in the middle of 2015, and it will be compatible with current Denlow platform and C220 series chipsets. The v4 processors will be built on Broadwell architecture, and have up to 4 Hyper-Threaded CPU cores, and up to GT3 graphics with 128 MB of embedded DRAM. Broadwell chips are going to support up to 32 GB of DDR3 and DDR3L memory. They will be manufactured in an LGA package.
Xeon E5-1200 v5 series will be released in the second half of 2015. The Xeons will be a part of new Greenlow platform, that will utilize C230 series chipsets. The first to launch will be mainstream E3-1200 v5 SKUs in LGA package, compatible with socket 1151. They will come with up to 4 CPU cores, Hyper-threading technology, and up to GT2 graphics. Furthermore, they are going to work with DDR3L and DDR4 memory, and have the maximum amount of supported RAM increased to 64 MB.
At the end of 2015 or at the beginning of 2016, Intel will introduce BGA versions of Xeon E3-1200 v5 chips with Premium graphics, featuring GT4 GPU and 128 MB eDRAM. The processors will have 4 CPU cores, and support only DDR4 memory.""
Capn, the same article is in a bunch of places here is one link Some features of Intel Xeon E3-1200 v4/v5 processors
