***Official Intel Haswell Thread***

One of my Haswell cores is a lot lower than the other 3. Anyone else getting this? One is sitting at 58, the others are between 65-70 (Prime 95'ing).

All idle around the same temp, only seems to happen under load.

let the cpu bed in, give it a week.

I have a similar temp difference. I just assumed it was the way these newer chips ran with various clocking down and voltage adjustments.
 
Running the RAM at 1066MHZ CL6 allows me 6.34.
I hate computers.

But then at 4.6GHZ it misses the target by miles, coming in at 7.71

Up to 10c difference is generally expected these days, however, any more and i would advise reseating the heatsink.
 
I got same situation on my Sandy rig. Resetting water block did nothing for it so... Leae it as it is.

The two ib cpu's ive owned were the same. Current 3770k has one core 8c lower than the rest. Previous 3570k had one read as low as 12c at idle, rest in the low 30's.
 
I had a Q6600 @ 3.4/3.5 with one core running about 10c lower than the others ... after lapping the IHS the differences got a little smaller, but I never got them on the same level. Unlike another Q6600 @ 3.6 after that, which didn't have such a wild variance, and the 4770K now with practically the same temps for each core. As others have said already, it's somewhat "normal" to have temperature variances.
 
Nobody knows really, but given Intels Tick/Tock strategy, I'd be surprised to not see something that resembles Ivy from Sandy.

Going by this roadmap there doesn't seem to be desktop 14nm Broadwell shrink of Haswell. Instead there would be still 22nm 'Haswell Refresh' in late 2014/early 2015 followed by 14nm Skylake in 2015.

In the Anandtech forums there has been discussion that Broadwell would only come in BGA form factor now for ultra low/mobile parts

It must make sense from a business persepective I guess. Lower power usage of 14nm is more beneficial for mobile and a selling point too, than desktop where a marginal IPC jump would be less likely to drive sales.

I read that they were delaying the outfitting of one of their 14nm fabs too, suspected to be to avoid over capacity, and I can see silvermont and mobile broadwell being given priority in such a case.
 
performance might reach a level where intel sell the mobile cpus for desktop as well and kill off the normal desktop lines, leaving those that want more to buy the enthusiast cpus.
 
smilertoo Im ok with that as long as enthusiast cpus.dont cost 1000f and clock like ****....
 
Lower max clocks is something we're just going to have to accept. Their focus is on lower power processes and applies to mobile and server. They wont go out of their way to ensure high clockability (arch or process) to an extent which just guarantees fast power guzzlers.
 
Hero and 4770K in the house

edit1 nice bios
edit2 I haven't booted an OS just doing the ASUS test at 1.2v
something appears amiss though, I am booting and running memtest at 5.2Ghz :)
Will push harder

UM! make that 5.4
Thought this had to be wrong turbo isn't being set before OS handoff, found setting in BIOS.
