Sorry if this has already been posted, or if it is 'common knowledge' to some of you with inside contacts.. But I thought some of you guys would appreciate this info (if it's legit)..

Looking forward to seeing the performance comparison between the i5-4670K and i7-4770K. I shall be upgrading once these are released along with AMD's 8xxx series. :D

If a datasheet leaked by VR-Zone is to be believed, we now have full details of Intel's Haswell line-up, which is expected to hit the market sometime beginning in April 2013.

As previously reported, Intel will continue to focus on quad-core offerings though, breaking from recent trend, the TDP of its high-end Haswell parts are set to rise from the 77 watts of Ivy Bridge up to 84 watts. We suspect this may have something to do with the beefier Intel HD 4600 graphics that are to grace these components, with an expected two-fold increase in performance.

Intel's front-runner, at least for now, appears to be the quad-core Core i7-4770K, featuring an unlocked multiplier and a standard operating frequency of 3.5GHz, with Turbo Boost capable of bringing this up to 3.9GHz on a single core. This isn't an increase from the status quo and so we hope all the architectural redesigns we've been hearing about will also have an unseen impact on performance.

What's missing from this picture is Intel's ultra-portable line-up, which, if history is anything to go by, may very well contain the first Haswell parts to hit the market, with low power and tablet-like behaviours one of the primary focuses of the new architecture and its platform as a whole.

quad core will be the mainstay for a while yet, as still not much still uses anything more

standard pc use like apps/programs gaming etc

maybe with windows 9 :) 6 or 8 core will come more into play
 
Looks disappointing really. I was expecting higher clocked chips than that. Unless they have massively refined/improved the chips performance is only going to be a few percent better than Ivy. If that's the case it looks like my trusty i5 760 will be living on for another couple of years yet.

Really? I have an i5 760 and I feel it straining sometimes in some games. But that might be because I've seen a few friend's PCs who have IvyBridge CPUs overclocked and they seem much smoother in games etc.

I just an excuse to upgrade really! :D

Not had any problems in games at 1920x1200. This is actually the longest i have ever had the same rig. :eek:

Remember that Haswell is Intel's 'tock' phase - completely new microarchitecture. This could bring more efficient use of the CPU without needing to increase frequency.

The specs look like they barely have anything above 2nd generation chips, let alone 3rd generation. One for the "must-have-it" crew I guess.
 
That spec sheet makes no sense.
Haswell are meant to be extremely efficient and yet they are really power hungry.

There's meant to be a 10w tdp. I'm saying that leek is false.

Has big GPU grunt supposedly. That isn't free

Intel have said they have a 10w haswell. That chart makes no sense.
It's not just grunt. Haswell is meant to stop intels slide and give grunt to mobile devices.

There's not even 17w offering, like the current ivybridge.

It has to be rubbish.

Unless the mobile ones aren't on that list. But it does say low power models, which I'm assuming is mobile.

10-35w is notebook or embedded type spec. That list only has i5/i7, no hint of anything lower end
