Intel keeps delivering the best desktop processor money can buy. Great efficiency and features. Overclocking is well supported on the 'K' processor. Backward platform compatibility is a big win for
Performance
Overclocking
Power consumption
Good performance for the price. Highly energy efficient. Supports DirectX 11. Backward compatible with previous-generation motherboards.
Compatible with many previous-generation motherboards
Reduced power usage
GPU performance greatly improved compared to last generation
Support for DirectX 11
Driver maturity improved
22 nm production process
Turbo Boost to dynamically adjust graphics clocks
Completely noiseless
HDMI Audio bitstreaming supported
DisplayPo
Lower power than Sandy Bridge
Although this isn't significant for desktop platforms
Faster and cheaper (if not by much) than Sandy Bridge CPUs
Intel HD4000 iGPU significantly faster than HD3000
Can be used in Z68series motherboards (with vendor BIOS support)
Still the best performance in a mainstream consumer CPU
High performance
Includes HyperThreading technology
High overclocking potential
Good price based on performance
Low power consumption under both idle and load

Integrated graphics handle well most tasks but are not fit for gaming
Perform behind AMD's A8 APUs
Offers only minor performance improvements on highest-end last-generation CPU. Graphics still not comparable to what you get with a discrete video card
Cheap Discrete GPUs Still Faster
CPU Not Much Faster Than 2700K
CPU performance only slightly boosted over previous-generation Core i7 chips
Limited GPU performance
No dedicated GPU memory
Still only 16 PCIE lanes
Early production stepping doesn't overclock as well as current Sandy Bridge
Abstract: Our series of gaming performance articles where we take one CPU and put it up against another one and run a series of game benchmarks, is very well known meanwhile...
Abstract: A few new processors appear this month: two from Intel and one from AMD. We also see moderate price drops from both companies, along with a particularly monumental price reduction on AMD's flagship FX-9590, which still doesn't make our recommended list. ...
Abstract: Especially gamer see themselves confronted with the question which is the best CPU for their system from a performance as well as a price perspective. For the upcoming weeks we planed a series of articles, where we compare the gaming performance of two CP...
Abstract: With Haswell's IGP Intel had set itself ambitious goals. One for example is that they want to heat up the competition with AMD when it comes to integrated grahics performance. Wether Intel is going to succeed or not and how Intel's HD 4600 as well as AMD'...
Abstract: Late May we published a huge round-up of 45 desktop processors , followed by a review of Intel's fourth generation Core processors . Our readers immediately, and understandably, came with the request for a similar group test of laptop processors. It's a...
So after running a small array of benchmarks we can see the results for ourselves. Is Haswell worth the upgrade from Ivybridge? The short answer is no, and let me explain my thoughts and feelings about why I feel this way. First thing is the performanc...
Abstract: On June 4 Intel is launching its next generation Core processors, also called Haswell. That means it's the perfect opportunity for us to retest all current processors and a number of older ones with a completely new test configuration. It will not only ...

Abstract: Some chips achieve greatness. Others are born into it. From the moment the i7-3770K was announced, it was clear it was going to be the most desirable choice for the discerning Ivy Bridge user. Its four cores, 3.5GHz clock and 8MB of cache give it supremel...
Abstract: Earlier this month we looked at the gaming performance in Windows 8 compared to Windows 7 , and it turns out there was no difference. Afterwards our loyal readers asked us to apply our expertise to the processor performance in Windows 8, to find out whe...
