How does Intel able to update their CPU so frequently?

[MercedezBens]

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems Intel is able to update their CPU every year. 2013 Haswell, 2014 Broadwell, and then 2015 Skylake

How can they do this so frequently?

Thank you very much

This basically. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-Tock_model

So they create a new CPU. Then they would have a similar CPU but improved from the previous one. Like how there are two Cpus that fit into LGA1150 socket. They have a new system now but it will have a similar major change and then minor change. Kind of like how those with a 4770K weren't flocking to get a 4790K.
