Overclocking memory improves performance
Haswell’s 3D transistor technology favors mobile
Good price
Great performance for its price
Better iGPU performance than HD 4000
Low power consumption under both idle and load
High performance
Includes HyperThreading Technology
Good price to performance ratio
Added speed
Better thermal interface material
Performance slightly better than the Intel Core i74770K when overclocked
Great performance
Integrated graphics have been much improved over Ivy Bridge
CPU cooler mounting points have not changed with new socket
Low power states
Includes Hyper-Threading technology
Better temperatures than Ivy Bridge series
Good price based on performance
Very low power consumption under both idle and load
More memory overclocking options
Slightly better performance
Efficiency and graphics for the same price as Ivy Bridge. New architecture is the begining of the road ahead for Intel CPUs.
The editors didn't like
ATX (304.80 millimeters [12.00 inches] x 243.84 millimeters
[9.60 inches])
Temperatures will become a factor when performance tuning
Not the performance gains expected with the new Generation
Draws slightly more power than previous designs. Less headroom for overclocking
Requires New Mobo / Socket
Not Much Faster Than Ivy Bridge
Only slightly speedier than previous-generation counterpart
Not backward-compatible with earlier motherboards
Only incremental CPU performance improvements over Ivy Bridge
New socket means a new motherboard is required for upgrades
Still only 16 PCIE lanes
Relatively poor overclocking
Limited GPU performance
GT3 (with embedded DRAM) not available on LGA1150
The Core i74770K operates slightly hotter than Core i73770K
Overclocking requires more patience than Ivy and Sandy
The overclocking learning curve is definitely higher
Really high temperature under load
Low overclocking potential
Small performance increase versus Core i53570K
High temperature under load
Compared to the price gap
The speed difference to the Intel Core i74770K is not very noticeable
Overclocking seems to be more sensitive to BCLK adjustments
Not a drastic improvement over Ivy Bridge
Another new socket
Weak overclocking
Lower possible overclock than the Ivy Bridge series
With no tangible competition in the desktop realm
Intel is no longer focused on raw performance
So there's even less to see in that respect this year. New platform/socket is not welcome.

Competition is a good thing and without it, we all lose out. Unfortunately, Intel isn't facing much in the way of competition in the desktop CPU market right now, and they haven't for some time. AMD's year and a half old Piledriver-based FX processors can...

As far as Z87 platform is concerned, Intel managed to catch up with AMD in terms of providing 6x native SATA 6Gbps ports and also provides USB 3.0 natively via 6. Those with 3670K and 3770K wouldn't consider making a jump, and a lot of mainstream users wo...

So the question you have to ask yourself, “Was the upgrade worth it?” Well, from my personal standpoint, ABSOLUTELY! I use my computer for video encoding, photo editing, and gaming, and I was getting quite frustrated with my old system. The video card cou...
Abstract: Recently we've tested Intel's first processor based on Haswell architecture and we've come to a conclusion that it didn't bring anything new. A total of 10% increase in performances compared to its predecessor in processor tests, while the only big improv...
At this article's outset, we established all of what makes Intel's Haswell architecture so noteworthy. We always expect performance to be improved from one architecture to the next, and of course, we expect the same for power-efficiency. Here, though, I...
You may wonder why it took us so long to review the FX-8150? We received the processor last month and had to cover the Haswell Core i7-4770K first along with Computex 2013 which had put alot of load on me. But here we finally have the Bulldozer review and...

Abstract: As many in the home theater PC (HTPC) community are aware, madVR produces an unparallelled level of flexibly and performance. Producing results that rival some of the best dedicated video processors available in the market. It was not that long ago that u...
Better performance upgrade than Ivy, More overclocking options, Better overclocking potential: If you keep it cool!, Improved integrated memory controller, Overclocking memory improves performance, Haswell’s 3D transistor technology favors mobile
The Core i74770K operates slightly hotter than Core i73770K, Overclocking requires more patience than Ivy and Sandy, The overclocking learning curve is definitely higher
Overall, the new processor provides some decent performance increases in just about every department but Haswell is hot! In fact, it’s making Ivy Bridge look cool, both literally and in many other regards, like making it OK to stay with it for now. Gra...
