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.
Performance, Overclocking, Integrated GPU, Increased SATA 6Gbps

After running the 4th Gen Core i7 4770K through its paces, I found that it is a strong successor to the mainstream crown that was held by the 3rd Gen Core i7 3770K. Priced at $339 and sure to drop the price point between the two processors is negligible a...

Still the best mainstream PC processor, Excellent percore performance, More efficient than ever
Not much faster than before, Needs yet another new CPU socket, Misses out on Intel's excellent new Iris graphics
The overall gist, then, it that rarely has a CPU mooted as a brand new architecture done so little to change the game for desktop computing. It's still a great CPU and the only option at this price point. It's just barely any better than the processor it...
Intel's Haswell, Z87 and the i7 4770K are a good natural progression. We find ourselves sitting in that boat where if you're already on a strong Series 7 setup, you probably won't be in a rush to make the jump like we've seen from previous generation ...
Abstract: That the fastest processors are currently made by Intel is not really a secret, but what is the best choice when you want to spend up to £ 50, £100 or £150? To answer that question we conducted a megatest of 57 current AMD and Intel CPUs. From two to...
Abstract: When Intel released their new Haswell-E CPUs, we decided to rework our CPU gaming performance articles. Meanwhile we're testing different resolutions and there are FullHD, 1440p as well as UHD on our list. This way you get a more detailed understanding of...
Abstract: Gamers are continuously asking which is the best CPU for their system, from a performance as well as a price perspective. In this series of articles, we're comparing the gaming performance of two CPU's in recent games and we will be showing you which CPU ...
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: In the past few years, Intel and AMD have spent a lot of resources in improving the performance of their integrated graphics units. Intel has been working hard to make sure their HD graphics becomes competitive with AMDs Radeon units. Today we're going to...
Abstract: Maybe some of you are curious to see how close an AMD A10-6800K APU can come to an Intel Core i7-4770K. Obviously this article should not be seen as some kind of buying advice it's more about illustrating that the CPU isn't the most important piece of har...
