Haswell reviewed, another bump

[Janus67]

Maybe that is a mobile CPU and not the k series ?

It says 4770k on the site, just reading the site, nothing more nor less. Maybe my Dutch is pathetic.

I wonder if they'll release anymore 1155 CPU's, they did for the 775 for a short while (the i5 750/760).

I believe those are for socket 1156

I don't really care about the baselines.To me the numbers look great as long as Intel does a good job with the IHS and it clocks up well.

... they are.

Oh yeah, the forgotten socket... :S

Probably noone cares about that performance difference but overclocking results. I don't know anyone who actually needs more cpu power except those who are benching.

I'm a Solidworks guy, and the kernel is from the late 90's still and doesn't use much multi-core. It is all about the MHZ. Simulations are multi-core, and at that some take 48 hours on one operation for simple simulations. Trust me, I need the MHZ.

And for rendering images from CAD, that's run through distributed farm rendering. Pixar used to take 48 hours to render 1 frame of Cars with two floors of 50k sq ft of racks. It isn't just for benching.

Maybe I missed it somewhere, how will this compare to a Sandybridge-E specifically a 3930k? My next system is designed completely around socket 2011.

 

[MattNo5ss]

According to the article, the 4770K will be up to 14% better in anything using 4c/8t or less since the IPC is better on Haswell than Sandy Bridge. However, if you look at the results with the 3970X in it, you'll see that the Sandy Bridge-E is still much better in tasks that use more than 4c/8t.

Right, must have missed that page. So what's the evolution of socket 2011 now? I haven't seen anything yet that implies an upgrade path beyond the 4 2011 chips currently available.

looks like they probably won't use the socket anymore.

So we are sure that Ivybridge-E is cancelled then?

 

[Synchronic]

I don't think you'll lose with 3930k especially if having Haswell around bumps down the price for it. It slaughters everything else apparently, and if you're doing in multi-core work or believe in 4 channel memory controller, then it probably isn't worth waiting for. I think resell will be good for 3930k over anything else anyhow even if that socket goes away.

I suspect they'll replace it with an "enthusiasts" grade haswell... i doubt that chip will use LGA 2011

Sure? I havent heard a rumor that is was in the first place. Last I heard, Ivybridge-E was due out late this year...

Plenty of google results like that. But for me, too little too late for that platform.

I think the question that is on all our minds is:

Does it support bclock overclocking?

Also, how fast can we make it go?
