Here is the very highest end Haswell processor for mobile applications. It is a 47-watt TDP chip:

2.8GHz base, 4.0GHz max turbo. It also features Iris Pro graphics.

The successor to this product was the Core i7 5950HQ, also a 47W chip:

CPU base frequency was 2.9GHz, but in exchange max turbo came down to just 3.8GHz.

Since Broadwell offered ~5% improvement in performance/clock, in terms of CPU performance it is basically a wash between the two processors.

Are you telling me that Intel, the world-renowned CPU company, intended to offer its customers zero CPU performance improvement generation-on-generation?
