ohh no not him

tweaktown wasnt impressed with the ocing cpu temps

 

[WingZero30]

Lol why does Tom always appear to be sick, like he got a very bad cold/fatigue ??

So Intel have taken the IGP lead at least for now?

Let's compare the performance of the new Core i7 4770K with that of its predecessor, the 3770K. In the table below we put all of the benchmark results of both CPUs, along with the difference.

Overall the performance gain is 23.8 percent, but that doesn't tell us very much. The results of the 3D benchmarks are impressive, as the Core i7 4770K is more than 50 percent faster. It's clear that Intel has improved its integrated graphics, and this is just the GT2 version. It will be interesting to see what GT3 has in store.

In the CPU benchmarks the average gain is 10.6 percent. Do note that this includes benchmarks with Quick Sync, OpenCL and AES-NI. When we exclude those, we end up with an average of 7.2 percent. And to be honest, for a new architecture, that's a little bit on the meagre side.

I imagine its a Gold award from Tom Logan.

Well it looks like Haswell leaves my Q9650 in dust, considering this cpu was 775 top dog!!

To be honest its not that impressive given the age of the Q9650.

Will hopefully be updating my system this time round but its all coming down to price as the performance gains are slowing. Would prefer Haswell (newer boards) but wouldn't pay much of a premium for it.

I'll be keeping my 3770k

I'll be keeping my 3770k

There would seem to be little reason to upgrade from Ivy 3770k for a desktop, but for those of us on systems that are 4-5 years old the improvement looks justifiable (especially if like me your old system has decided to go to the system land in the sky).

 

[stuarty555]

Well i think I am finally going to upgrade from my q6600

Will 1155 coolers fit these i.e a H80i ?

yh same hole mountings I think,think I saw it mentioned somewhere

 

[Khazzer]

OCUK has confirmed that coolers for LGA1155 will fit LGA1150

Think i'll hang onto my 920 for bit longer at least till ivybridge-E,

Good, little reason to move from my 2500k. Still the best CPU i've ever bought!

worse power consumption than ivy? dissapointed much

TBH i dont give a monkeys about power consumption when running a gaming rig. I care more about temps.

true, but efficiency was meant to be haswells big thing, and after all the hype it seems worse than ivy, its temps are roughly the same as ivy, and power usage and temps are closely related.
