How much more performance (benchmarks and real world apps) is Haswell over Sandybridge pushed to the limits?
Also HW LGA 1150 vs SB 2011?
Just trying to get a feeling of how much better, not newer, HW > SB.
I'm most likely going with high-end air. Might consider water if it's a good bang for the buck in performance increases.
Thanx. Looks like a 6 core SB-E still beats a 4 core HW.The 2011 is included in the comparisons here:

I like it fine and have been using it since some of the manufacturers started recommending it for IB. However I still like to use Prime95 and or LinX/Intelburntest on a somewhat limited basis. I'm not one who like to flog my chip with long, long runs of stress tests.
Welcome back dudleycpa! You've about got the gist of it, it is relatively straightforward.
As to your vaguely remembered tidbit, that was from an ASUS overclocking guide. Here is a quite directly from their guide, which applies to CPUs that can acheive X GHz at 1.25V.
Again, that is at the 1.25V level. I have a 4.8 GHz CPU, but only at 1.3V and on a dedicated custom water loop. I doubt this CPU would be within the preferred thermal envelope on air.
I haven't yet pushed beyond [email protected]... (not fully stable). I'll probably need my custom water setup to dial in a 4.8 overclock. On the memory front... I've only been able to run my 2x4gb (ds) Hynix CFR kit at DDR3-2800 and when I tried the 2933 ratio I was getting a 55 code? I don't currently have a (ss) Hynix MFR kit.

Here is a Cinebench @47x:
I'm sure the rules apply just the same as the 4770k.
One thing I would like to note about the 4c/4t vs 4c/8t is that with the new consoles coming out this fall (both of which are 8 cores), expect to see some games actually take advantage of more than 4 cores/threads.
Hell of a lot better than the 2 ES chips I have can do on mem. I can get em stable at 4.9 no prob but only if I drop mem to 2k or less. Really annoying when you have mem rated for 2800.. Basically it comes to how far you push your CPU. I can do 2400 @ 4.8 but have to drop to 2000 at 4.9.
I can run 32M and such at higher mem clocks but cinebench = insta bsod above 2k regardless of the timings and I/O voltages. Going to pick up a retail and see if IMC is better.
