***Official Intel Haswell Thread***

[apeksdiver]

They claim to have plenty in stock. Are we really going to have to wait another month?

Why would we have to wait another month?
Official launch is literally days away.

 

[apeksdiver]

My mistake earlier post said Gigabyte event on 1st June!

 

[Martini1991]

That's 2 days off
It's probably more like last minute of the 1st, 12:00am 2nd.

 

[apeksdiver]

Doh! Brain is a month behind this afternoon!

I'm interested to see if there is an upcoming Dell XPS 15 in Haswell form as I need a new laptop desperately, but want something that's gonna last as long as my old Dell D620!

Looking forward to seeing some benchmarks, particularly the 5 gig on air overclocks.

About 3 months of saving before, hopefully, upgrading my system. Can't believe how well my old 775 quad core is still doing.

If they are being touted for sale with a guaranteed overclock to 4.8GHz can't wait to see what they will be capable of, Q6600 I think your time may be up.

Oh yeah, I've just clicked, no Grid 2 on the description.
I do like how they've got the OC3D gold award already like lol.

This would be great if infact Tom Logan had a Scoobie!!!

 

[stulid]

Was reading some facebook posts, that TTL award should be gone.

4.8ghz on air? you sure?

 

[Hagar]

4.8ghz on air? you sure?

Means don't buy an OEM from there. If it won't pass their 4.4 or 4.8 tests, it probably is only good for less.

Also I refute that their testers are engineers, technicians at best.

You can buy a Haswell Z87 PC for £120 from OCUK.

if 4.8 on air 5ghz on my setup should be no problem.

[WingZero30]

Can someone give me an estimate of how much it would cost me to purchase;

i5 4670K ?
Good Z87 mobo (Asus/Gigabyte) ?
8GB DDR3 ?

 

[wazza300]

a shade over £500?

oops 4670k? idk

£450-£500 depending on the board

 

[bulldog147]

Haswell? No, I don't care!
Haswell getting better overclocking? Nah, that's another misleading!

I am staying with sandybridge for another couple of years left. Why waste money if my cpu are doing fine.
