First Haswell Results out

TomsHardware reciever a high binned i7-4770K Early and did the first benchmarks, results arent too surprising with the GPU being about 15% faster, which still puts it behind the APUs and the CPU being about 10% faster which was expected, its also going to be more expensive than the current 3770K

TomsHardware... meh.

Real numbers or not, my i5-3570 is doing great.

Yeah... The performance increase, if accurate, isn't impressive. 3 seconds faster than a 3770k, 5 seconds more than the 2700k. Yep...

yes, tomshardware is known for heavy intel bias, but if even they are reporting such minimal increases its not likely to be too inaccurate

I will stick with my 2700k:)

+1 with my 3770k :)

 

I'm more interested in "skylake"

by that time, steamroller will be out

Why I am not surprised <.<

 

 

Doesent seem too suprising, im still gonna wait on everyone elses benchmarks, but if Haswell doesent do something mych better than Ivybridge (hopefully overclocking) ill probably just jump to the x79 platform.

 

Those chips are gonna be tweaked quite a bit before june release. AMD is supposedly releasing richland apu today. Looking forward to seeing if that is true.

Intel- Making you pay more money for the same thing.

As expected also I saw on anantech forums that it will not have some features like Ivy, TSX or what ever is spelled... Anyway Haswell is also a 22nm processor while Steamroller will be 28nm processor so AMD will be 6nm behind Intel but alot better than 10nm...

I hope it will crush Haswell.

3770k <3

i thought they were supposed to have roughly the same cpu's but double the gpu space? maybe i heard wrong, but i thought that's what linus was saying

im a bit currious to hasswell, i wanne know how its performs, and how much it gonne cost.

wenn i see this graphic image based on nothing, seems to mee, the hasswell isnt realy a big step forward.

so im currioues how much it gonne cost, and wich models will be made..

cause  wenn i see this then  for the intel people, they could better stay on the 3770k of the i5

Haswell is a strange product:

- Socket 1150, which is dead already given the fact that Intel will be switching to BGA for consumer sockets after Haswell.

- double the graphics performance of Intel HD, but still not great performance by any stretch of the imagination. Good news for GNU/Linux users though, better graphics with full featured open source drivers.

- I would have expected the energy efficiency to be the first test results Intel would approve (Tom's Hardware being one of the prime marketing consultants for Intel, their articles being nothing else than Intel advertisements or press releases at best, I sure hope they get paid for that, because if they do it voluntarily, they're just plain stupid, oh wait, judging by the content they have been providing for so long, yeah, probably they do it voluntarily...). Anyway, something about the article in Tom's Lobotomised Computer Can't-users Club tells me that Haswell isn't as energy efficient as Intel had hoped it would be.

- the die space has increased, which means the next iteration of chips, with smaller architecture, will probably be more interesting than Haswell, because Haswell is basically Ivy Bridge with more real estate for the graphics core, hence higher price, probably about the same power and thermal spec as ivy bridge, and probably pushing the thermal envelope even more than ivy bridge.

Correct me if im wrong, the performance increase for the cpu is as low as a tiny 5%. Also the integrated graphics in a high end cpu is pointless for gamers, most people will be using a dedicated gpu.

I wish they would bring out a version without integrated graphics and use the extra space and power headroom for higher performance.

AMD has been given a chance, they must acheive a minimum 15% performance increase to make the gap smaller.

I'm building a Pc in the next few months. I was planning to get the i5 3570K should i get the sandy bridge or ivy bridge? im gonna stay away from haswell
