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.

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: We've already seen what the Core i7-4770K can do at its default frequency. Now, it's time to go beyond the chip's stock speed.K-series Haswell processors provide overclockers with three ways to crank the CPU frequency. Raising the Turbo multiplier is the ...

As always, the rafts of data on the preceding pages can be boiled down to one simple price-performance plot, for those folks considering a purchase. Here's how the Core i7-4770K stacks up against the two prior generations of Intel processors—and the clos...

TweetThe wait is over and the 4th generation Intel Core processors family, codename Haswell, is out in the wild, along with the new 8-series chipsets and socket LGA1150. They've lost 5 pins, but let's see the benefits.We had the chance to review the i7-47...
From a desktop component perspective, Haswell has impressed me with the Core i7-4770K. I honestly wasn't expecting as much CPU performance increase with this release but seeing our benchmarks scale from 5-15% (sometimes higher) from the 3770K to the 4770...
Haswell is an interesting processor, as it takes Intel in a new direction, making them stronger in the mobile market, while still maintaining their performance dominance in the desktop market. When comparing Haswell as the direct replacement to Ivy Br...

Abstract: For home theater PC (HTPC) enthusiasts, the 4 th generation Intel Core “Haswell” family of processors has been greatly anticipated. Expectations have been set both for its GPU performance, and that the long-standing issue with refresh rate accuracy will f...
ATX (304.80 millimeters [12.00 inches] x 243.84 millimeters, [9.60 inches])
The Z87 chipset is a very capable contender as a mainstream replacement for the Z77 models. Overall there are so many things that have changed, it's very hard to mention it all. One major improvement is the full six port SATA 6Gbps capability directly fr...
Let me just say it. Core i7 4770K is the fastest quad-core processor on the globe, however it is going to disappoint the real enthusiast PC afficionados that where looking for actual RAW processor performance increasements, they have no reason to upgrade...
Abstract: While all of the Linux support is technically there, it's still early support and will continue to be refined. Unfortunately, it seems not everything was completely baked in time. I've run benchmarks of the Intel Core i7 4770K "Haswell" processor on Li...

My expectations were quite high; I guess I fell into the hype when I heard about this processor. Did they fall short? Somewhat, since I had really expected a bone crushing increase in performance from the 4th Generation Core i7 4770K over its predecesso...
