***Official Intel Haswell Thread***
- Thread starter Yaayuh!
- Start date
I personally wouldn't go for anything less then a 3930k if I was going x79. The 3820 is about as fast as the 3770k on a more expensive motherboard.

Elric discounts 5.0 and hints towards 4.6 - 4.7, I believe he's telling the truth
Edit : Skip to t=2:30 if like me you find Elric uber annoying

You're jumpy todayI might just have to recommend an AMD chip just to wind you up
Nothing wrong with AMD chip recommendations, they're easily best CPU's available at 85-125 brand new.
But the 0.9v is a false reading, I'm not optimistic for 24/7 5GHZ OC's on Haswell to be honest, I think it'll follow a similar fate to Ivy.
Hope to be wrong though.
That, would be quite surprising as it would make them pointless chips (IB's stock IPC advantage over SB was nullified at max overclock by SB's speed advantage, and as nobody buys the enthusiast chips to run at stock it would make IB-E no faster than SB-E and so a waste of R&D/etc).
Don't worry if they can't solder a IHS on the can just pour molten gold over the die then sand it down to a flat finish
I dont understand the screenshot in that article.
The header says 'Haswell'
But in the screenshot it says 'Xeon' 'Ivybridge-E' '12 x 100' '1200MHz' '8 cores' '16 threads' '0.9XXv' so clearly that screenshot has nothing to do with Haswell, and more to do with Ivy-E. And the 0.9v is probably correct, as the chip is sitting at 1200MHz at that moment in time.

To be honest ill be more than happy if i can get 4.6-4.7 on Haswell with air, as atm my Bloomfield can only achieve 4GHz, and just lately been running fairly hot when stressed (81c). So a 4.6GHz overclock on a 4th generation newer chip should be a nice performance boost
There would need to be a new chipset if it was to come with an IGP, X79 has no way of passing a signal through to the rear I/O, as its strongly rumored that IB-E will still be available to X79 users I don't think it will have an IGP at all.

Ivy-E and Haswell the same ?
No.
Ivybridge-E is the Intel 'Enthusiast' replacement for Sandybridge-E on socket 2011.
Haswell is the replacement for Ivybridge, which also has a new socket (1150) to replace 1155.
I'm in the same boat as you with the 920. I'll also wait until reviews to fully decide on Haswell, though my current thoughts are to just wait for the next generation, which will introduce DDR4.
Doesn't make sense to upgrade from a 920 to end of the line DDR3 setups, with DDR4 looming.
