Hey! The i5-4440 fits into the Desktop Haswell-E range. The desktop version is Haswell Broadwell, and the laptop model uses Haswell architecture. Let me know if you need more details!

It seems you're asking about the difference between Haswell E and Haswell Broadwell processors. There are no other desktop options available, so you can check it out yourself! [Link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...xRj3b4DjTq)

Haswell.broalwell seems to be the developers' approach for compatibility. Just give it a shot and observe the results. Building a hackintosh will likely require some adjustments.

Confirming your point, the i5-4440 is categorized under Haswell desktop, not Haswell E.
