Which haswell for sub £180?

[baldraptor]

Hi
well finally time to build again and I am a bit confused by the new chips .
What is the difference between the Haswell 4570 and the 4570s?
And would either be a better option than the 4670 or maybe one of the sandybridge chips at around the same price point?
Building on a tight budget and no interest in overclocking on this rig

4570 higher power but higher performance
4570s lower power but lower performance

for only a 200mhz bump id stick with the 4570 over the 4670

I don't see why Haswell has a low power Version, as the rest of the range have Ultra low power Sleep States..

I guess it would use less power while in use but you want performance when you're using it don't you?

Anyway, I'd just get the 4570 if i were you.

according to anand, the desktop chips dont have the ultra low power sleep states, desktop haswell only lowers about 10% idle vs ivy

You could wait and see how the Xeon 1230 'V3' performs. The 'V2' was the best bang for buck Ivybridge CPU, (Essentially being a locked 3770K for £100 less)

The Xeon 1230 'V3' may take the same price point and have i7 performance for i5 price..

I'd imagine then that the 4570s is aimed at the laptop market.

I'll take a look at the 4570 too
