40% more performance than a top end Haswell with great overclocking...... sounds too good to be true doesn't it........... that is a massive performance increase :eek:............

No way will it be 40%.

10% more likely, 20% would be amazing though.

Where did you get the 40% number from? I don't see it in any of the linked articles.
 
Intel Broadwell – 40% GPU Performance Over Haswell

Its never going to be 40% general performance .... lol

Looks good at 65w though ..

5-10% better IPC (presumably), and 40% better IGP for 20W lower TDP? That's extremely impressive.

So better temps, better overclocking. If the TDP of the i7-5770K is as low as 65W, will people still be able to justify ridiculously high-end coolers eg. the H105?! You'll be able to overclock it a bit on the stock cooler and still see better temps than stock Haswell!
 
I'm staying with what i've got, but i might get broadwell if my new 4770 is no better than my old i5 2500, i will keep both rigs, in fact, i'm rebuilding my old rig right now, getting rid of that rubbish ASrock , my old rig could also do with another Samsung Evo 840

but these new ones due out in a few weeks are a waste of time.....Broadwell will be way better than these.

Depends how good the thermal material is on the chip.

Yes it's going to run cooler but if they crap out again on the TIM then your still going to be limited by temps.

Well, that's pretty much guaranteed. There's no chance they'll use solder if the mainstream Haswell chips had dies too small for it, and Broadwell being a dieshrink of that.
 
I hope broadwell does end up working with Z87, as ive just spent £200 on a motherboard and dont want to spend the same again in a years time :eek:

1) That's... quite a lot for a Z87 isn't it? (and Z97 is already out and compatible with Haswell....)
2) I believe they have been pretty much confirmed as being Z97 only because of new power features on the Z97 boards for the Broadwell microarchitecture that aren't on the Z87 ones.

Yes it was a lot of money, but it did what I needed perfectly, except be futureproof, as I have found out :mad:
