Me too.   My 2 year old Haswell (bought cpu and mobo secondhand)
i7-4790K is working fine.   Its GPU is still usable enough.  There must
be lots of users of pre-4th generation core cpus.  Now that Intel
considers much of its previous processors in software area such as Intel
C/C++/Fortran compilers, I want Intel to take OpenCL into consideration
for us...

Sigh....
