It puzzles my why Intel's top of the range 'premium' 6 core processors are running on Ivy Bridge based technology? Is there a reason for that as it seems pointless to buy Ivy-Bridge based tech 6 months after Haswell's out. Surely in that timeframe Intel could have easily developed a 6-core Haswell processor![]()
Gaming and overclocking mostly.
In that case, unless you're desperate for a hex-core CPU, I'd go Haswell. Or at least wait for reviews to arrive before hitting the buy button on anything. SB-E and Ivy-E are pretty much known quantities and won't be disappearing in a hurry.
If Haswell has the overclocking prowess that rumors suggest, then it should be a good one for tinkering and gaming.
Just out of interest which rumours suggest Haswell can clock really well??

So when you tested Haswell at Gigabyte it didn't clock well?![]()
I never said that I asked for the source. I have several Haswell and boards from several manufacturers. I have had them for around a month now including all revisions of the chip.
I have not commented at all on the clocking I just was interested in the source.
I do my own reviews![]()
