Reasonably priced
Overall improved performance
Quick Sync
HyperThreading
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.

If you were thinking that Haswell would be “the one you’ve all been waiting for” you are probably going to be somewhat disappointed. As mentioned on the first page, Haswell was all about mobile and all-in-one platforms. It’s not that Intel is neglecting...
Haswell is a solid step forward for Intel's microarchitecture design. Its improvement over the Sandy-to-Ivy Bridge processor shrink is palpable and impressive. It overclocks well on ambient cooling – especially our sample – but that overclocking level ...
Abstract: This is a very volatile time for Intel. In an ARM-less vacuum, Intel's Haswell architecture would likely be the most amazing thing to happen to the tech industry in years. In mobile Haswell is slated to bring about the single largest improvement in batter...
My experience for the last couple of weeks with Haswell has been a good time. It has been a lot of fun working with the new architecture and I had some really good feelings about it, but going back and truly analyzing the benchmark data, it left me feelin...
Intel's latest Haswell has finally landed. The rate at which Intel pumps out new CPUs never stops to amaze your humble reviewer. We are accustomed to this behaviour with the ever lasting performance battle between Nvidia and AMD/ATI. Yet Intel, perfor...
Intel obviously refocused all their efforts on resolving the “ARM problem”. The microprocessor giant obviously doesn’t want to hand over the compact mobile devices market to the competition, therefore all their engineering forced have been directed to...

AMD introduced us to its Kabini and Temash SoCs one week ago. Naturally, we were excited to learn more about the Jaguar architecture, to see GCN rolled into a truly low-power configuration, and most of all, to get our hands on the devices AMD was promisin...
Better IGP, Faster / Better Quick Sync, Some CPU Performance Improvements, BCLK Straps
Requires New Mobo / Socket, Not Much Faster Than Ivy Bridge
The Core i7-4770K's integrated Intel HD 4600 series graphics engine is clearly superior to the HD 4000 graphics in the 3770K, however. In every instance, the HD 4600 series GPU outran the HD 4000, sometimes by a large margin. Quick Sync video encoding was...
