***Official Intel Haswell Thread***

You'r forgetting the 5-10% estimated speed increase per Mhz. Certainly not worth upgrading to from Ivy but you cannot deny it will be faster than ivy, clock for clock.

I haven't "token speed increase"

A big fat meh to haswell, when is ivy-e due?

 

[Tackle_Berry]

Corsair has their PSU support list now, they all look compatible so far.

Q3 2013 IIRC, but even if IB-E is soldered, its not going to be able to outperform naked IB, so IB-E can only have a ~4-5% clock for clock performance increase over SB-E unless they drastically rework the architecture.

I'm very much hoping my EVGA NEX will be compatible with Haswell, I know I don't use sleep mode too much (or USB3 for that matter), but I would still be a bit miffed if it's not compatible as it wasn't exactly the cheapest of PSU's

4770K overclocked to 5GHz on just 0.9V of power

just read this, as says in post, they have no idea if is stable, but being able to boot at 5.0 from that low a voltage looks good as well.

I'm still struggling to justify an upgrade to Haswell from an i5-3570K. I think, as I did when I went Clarkdale -> Ivy Bridge, i'll skip a generation and put the money towards a graphics card upgrade instead.

That's no offence intended to those who do choose to upgrade to Haswell - good luck and have fun with your new hardware!

 

[altrewin]

I'm going to take those voltages with a pinch of salt, but the fact that they managed 5Ghz on an Extreme 4 board seems promising.

I would have said the same thing however there does not seem to be much going out of the AMD/Nvidia camps this year other than some dressed up rebadges.

New 20nm card from AMD is possible before the end of the year, according to recent "leaks" anyway.

All those for me??? Awww you shouldn't have

Haha, I wish I had that many 4770K's they would be going on the bay !

Witchcraft?

[wazza300]

ever used cpu-z and it shows full overclock speed and idle voltage?

but if it is true then great

 

[illuz]

Yeah, I'm going with the idle voltage but high clocks... If it really is that good of a chip, I'm gonna jump on Haswell-E.

 

[shadow_boxer]

Great stuff if its true. Hyperthreading disabled though and all on an Asrock Extreme 4...not bad.

 

[Boomstick777]

There is one among us who knows the truth...
















The rest of us have to wait for reviews...

 

[wazza300]

he can't say or else it's the sack

im guessing at idle voltage/full clocks

I would say 5ghz the norm if its a soldered die

 

[shadow_boxer]

Yeah idle voltages and max clock with ht disabled just to get into windows. Promising nontheless. Yeah, probably nit worth it for those on ivy and possibly Sandy but the clock for clock speed Vs Bloomfield is going to be significant with the bonus of much better thermals and power efficiency!

...me talking my way into getting Haswell!

hehe do it I say,you'll enjoy true sata3 speeds and better memory clocks for one
