Improved HD video performance
Unlocked
Low Power Consumption
22nm
Intel's latest architecture adds new features. Improved performance.
Better IGP
Faster / Better Quick Sync
Some CPU Performance Improvements
BCLK Straps
Incrementally better top-end CPU performance for mainstream CPUs
Another big step up for integrated graphics performance
Unlocked for overclocking
Still the best singlecore performance available
Dramatically improved iGPU performance
Mobile versions offer new ultralowpower modes
At least Intel didn't change the cooler mounting points
GPU performance greatly improved compared to last generation
Support for DirectX 11
Driver maturity improved
Turbo Boost to dynamically adjust graphics clocks
Completely noiseless
HDMI Audio bitstreaming supported
Added GPU overclocking capability v
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
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.
Abstract: For the Jacobi Successive Over-Relaxation test in SciMark2, the performance is noticeably superior on LLVM/Clang. For the Himeno scientific workload, LLVM/Clang is slower than GCC and unfortunately with the new LLVM/Clang 3.3 the performance had regr...

Abstract: In the recent release of 4 th generation (Haswell) Intel Core integrated processor graphics (IPG), Intel placed significant focus on changes made to Quick Sync transcoding technology included with the HD graphics portion of the chip. As the review develop...
Great performance, Integrated graphics have been much improved over Ivy Bridge, CPU cooler mounting points have not changed with new socket, Low power states
Not a drastic improvement over Ivy Bridge, Another new socket, Weak overclocking
When a new processor from Intel comes out many people are expecting a huge improvement over the previous generation, but we lately we really have not seen that. If you look at the update cycle of 1 year that cannot be expected. Ivy Bridge only offering...
Intel's new Haswell based Core i7 4770k is a solid CPU, but as we can see from some of the tests not every piece of software will be able to take advantage of what it has to offer. There is also the possibility that motherboard makers will need to tweak t...
Abstract: While some computationally-intense applications are benefiting greatly from the core-avx2 compiler optimizations, not all workloads will benefit. The core-avx2 instructions also caused some performance regressions with what's found in GCC 4.8.1. GCC ...
With the high-end CPU race firmly in their pocket, Intel didn't need to light the world aflame with a significantly faster processor. Breathing room is a luxury few technology companies can claim and its given Intel time to improve their products with...
While there isn't a substantial increase in GPU performance between Richland and Trinity, AMD's GPU performance lead over Ivy Bridge was big enough to withstand Haswell's arrival. Note that although we're comparing performance to Haswell here, Richland ex...
Final Thoughts ]In terms of performance the upgrade to Haswell is very reminiscent of that from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge, in the sense that for the most part we only saw a very minor improvement in performance. Where Haswell looked most impressive ...
Abstract: For the multi-threaded C-Ray ray-tracer, none of the tested CPUs come close to matching the i7-4770K's performance-per-Watt under Linux. Stay tuned for additional Intel Core i7 4770K "Haswell" benchmarks under Linux coming soon on Phoronix. No conc...
