Not A New Architecture
Not Quite The Overclocking Beast It Was Made Out To Be
None
Will likely require a new motherboard
Despite using the same LGA 1150 socket
Only moderate overclocking potential with our review chip
Despite Intel's promises
Overclocking headroom is very limited
Retail CPU doesn't come with much needed higher performance heatsink
Limited overclocking due to heat
Same overclocking potential
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
Overclocking could be better
No overclocking
Nothing really "new"
Integrated GPU limited in 3D gaming performance
The chip's overclocking performance isn't as strong as Intel led us to believe
Power packed performance, Improved thermal interface
Costly
