If it's a norm launch, then it'll be rumours/leaks and then one day there will be reviews and products listed

I just wanted the source to read what they was doing and on what board.

Hmm, does this mean that it's perhaps not all that good at overclocking

It looks like Haswell will be around for desktop for a while:

It also seems like the 14NM process won`t make it to desktops until 2015.

Dat stagnation of performance.

Would be interesting to see Intel adapt a similar model to ARM's big.LITTLE; Haswell+Silvermont or Broadwell+Airmont would be a great combination for mobile devices, could really extend battery life whilst providing high performance when needed.

edit: AMD could get in on the act too, switching between Piledriver+Jaguar cores.

No desktop Rockwell? They're going a full tick/tock on Skylake?

 

[8 Pack]

We have ways of making you ta....no, we don't

LOL!!

I am sure I will be asked to do a review using all types of cooling and a couple of different boards.

The pre orders will be up as soon as Intel allow it and reviews will be out post NDA.

Most probably 8 Pack couldn't get Haswell to overclock to 8Ghz

 

[opstrat]

I just hope other companies aren't slow getting their gear out after release.

along with the chip itself im going to need an rog matx board from asus and ek to get a waterblock out for the chip.

This makes my q6600 seem ****, god i need a job so i can upgrade

Can you say when the NDA ends? I'm not that clear on how the whole no disclosure thing works.

Release day usually. or a few days esrlier

 

[Zeed]

8 Pack any new ROG motherboards around your test cave then ??
I could not drop any other motherboard in my pc now

Usually the date that the non-disclosure ends is also under non-disclosure...

 

[Sal0hcine]

I can't wait for Haswell, my old Q6600 is showing its age.

Will the 4770K be worth the jump from a 2600K @ 4.5Ghz? (Based on little info we have so far)
