Anyone else hoping that the tweaks they're making to overclocking will make 5GHz speeds possible for a typical high end overclock?

***Official Intel Haswell Thread***
- Thread starter Yaayuh!
- Start date
Maybe we'll see more than 32 PCI-E lanes too!
GPUs have a much narrower instruction set than CPUs and will always be extremely slow at running lightly threaded software; in short they will not provide a viable replacement for CPUs in general tasks for the foreseeable future.
The future lies in heterogeneous computing and the convergence of the CPU and GPU in a fully unified APU, this article gives some good insights:

Sandy Bridge wasn't really a massive improvement over the Bloomfield, just a run of the mill 10% bump like Haswell will be over Ivy Bridge etc.

Sandy brought higher clocking thresholds with it though, which amounted to a lot of the extra performance.
I'm hoping that Haswell does the same.
Imagine 5GHZ being a readily attainable clock

True, I meant on a clock per clock basis.
Would be really nice if Haswell does push the bar even higher. Then again, I'd be temped to get one on release instead of holding out for Haswell-E and ddr4
Expect a voltage drop to about v1.2 for standard DDR4, ultra low voltage kits will run at about v1.0
The standard spec comes in at around 2800MHz (I think) and I read somewhere by the end of DDR4 we will see speeds of up to 4200MHz. (DDR3 came in at 1333MHz, good ICs can hit 3000MHz now). I dunno if this is true but I think it's meant to be around twice as fast as DDR3.

Sounds about right?
Any real need for it at the minute? I'm still on bloody DDR2 800 on my desktop, with 1600 DDR3 in the lappy.
Technology could stop evolving now and I'd be happy, my system is overkill and takes everything I throw at it with ease (apart from Crysis 3 etc) but we all want the latest, fastest hardware!
I want an 8 core 16 thread Broadwell-E chip with DDR4 and SATA Express. TAKE MY MONEY.

Damn you for having the money!
At age 15 I'm blessed to have the money I do have to spend on PCs xD
Oh it will be heaven when I can afford epic rigs every few years. I'll live on pasta and bread for the rest of my life it means I can have shiny things haha.
Ahh fair enough.
Well I'm going to be sensible and realistic and go with a 4770k and not the next god damned X line processor lol. I do hope this one's another good clocker. A 4.5-5GHz 4770k would be loooovveely. Especially coming from a 3GHz Phenom II X4 O.O
My laptop is a 3632QM and at 3GHz is over twice as powerful in benches as my desktop, well and in general.

Really looking forward to seeing some benches alright. I'll be coming from an E8400, so it'll be a huge step up for me personally, especially if Haswell clocks well.

I am hoping to upgrade my AMD 955 to Haswell. Want to go back to Intel. (I gave my brother my Q6600 and have regretted it since)
What sort of improvement am I likely to see going from AMD 955 to a decent Haswell CPU?

That was definitely a sideways upgrade.
It would depend on usage. Assuming a minimum 4 core>4core transition it would obviously be quite significant if you are in need of the power and able to utilise it (i.e gaming with a high end gfx/encoding/editing/crunching etc). Day to day tasks not noticable at all.

But it has pretty much always been like this except maybe ages ago with Athlon XP etc. I seem to remeber that was quite a jump. 10% each time does add up... I guess the Haswell will now be about 60% faster clock for clock compared to my Q6700.... I would have thought it is a good thing not having to upgrade CPU and Mobo every 5 minutes... Would much rather buy a new GPU every couple of years and a CPU/mobo every 4 years or something then be replacing the CPU/mobo all the time... Especially as intel seem to love changing sockets all the time!
