According to sources at Digitimes, Intel will be releasing their Haswell-EX and Haswell-EP4S line of CPUs in the second quarter of 2015, which is great news for sever enthusiasts with the addition of the Xeon E7 v3 (Haswell-EX) series and Xeon E5-4600 v3 (Haswell-EP4S) series processors.
Entry-level workstations and servers will see Skylake based chips (E3-1280 v5 and E3-1200 v3) in 3Q15 with Broadwell based LGA1150 chips coming in the same quarter.
The intel Xeon-D and Atom C categories will see Intel add new Broadwell-DE series CPUs in 2Q15 to help give the micro-server market a gentle nudge in the right direction providing a nice boost all-around with the addition of processors such as the c2750 and c2350.
Intel also plans to phase out several server processors under Itanium, Xeon, Xeon Phi and Atom between the fourth quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2015….

Being a web developer myself and having several Xeon based servers in my spare room which I host clients websites on, I for one am looking forward to having less power-hungry servers when I get around to upgrading them, the question is will it be worth the upgrade over current generations?
There is no word as yet to the exact specs of the new Haswell-EX and Haswell-EP4S chips but I imagine they will get leaked slowly over the coming months.
