Intel being pricks over overclocking motherboards

Well that's a devious practice.

Also, on a tangent, isn't Broadwell planned to be embedded-only in all boards? I've heard nothing but negative feedback from this. Anyone think AMD can take advantage of Intel's bad rap?

Nah. "Broadwell-D" is planned for socket 1150. (The same socket as Haswell.)
Broadwell-H, Broadwell-U and Broadwell-Y (ITX, Ultrabook and Tablets) will drop any and all sockets.
Broadwell-M will use a PGA socket for higher-end Laptops.

That's been the plan from Intel anyway and follows it's tic-toc strategy, however "rumours" (Aka, stuff you shouldn't take as gospel/truth)
point towards a Haswell Refresh for 2014 instead of Broadwell with Skylake still on track for 2015.

Interesting. I looked it up and I did find confirmation (from Intel) that 2014 will be a Haswell refresh at least for Desktops. Broadwell will be mobile only (all fronts) if it's out next year (and Broadwell will be available for higher end only at some point); Skylake will be out sometime after Broadwell, perhaps in 2015, and will be the replacement for Haswell refresh for Desktops + all other.

At least that's how I understood it :p I wonder why Intel has yet top clarify their roadmaps (AMD too).
