Being as its for Haswell as well I might consider an upgrade on my other box... before the CPUs completely disappear from retailers.

Thought that the 5000 series were Haswell-E which hasn't been replaced ... yet.

Sorry, mis-spoke, I was referring to the 5820K, 5930K, 5960K trio listed on the screenshot - which were*/are "Haswell-E".

(* The Intel page link here refers to these processors as "Formerly Haswell-E", so presumably marketing call them something else now)

AFAIK, Has-E are still "current".

Judging by newegg, Haswell, Haswell-E and Ivy Bridge-E are definitely on the offer.
But a very select amount, oddly the 4790k is not part of the offer yet the 4790 and 4790s are.

Secondly this doesn't seem to extend to Skylake so I get the feeling this is to shift older units that are harder to shift normally.

Intel should consider an all year round offer like AMD and NVidia across their ranges. 1 game for i3, 2 for i5 and 3 for i7 or something along those lines.
