Haswell is 30% faster than Ivy Bridge in Dolphin Benchmark . Unless you overclocked that Ivy Bridge to 5.8GHz or higher , no way it could beat i7 4770k @ 4.2GHz
If you want to spend 1000$ on a CPU , you better wait for the new Haswell-E CPU i7 5970x ( 8 cores 16 threads ) . While it's a monster CPU that has excellent multi-threaded performance , it still maintain excellent single threaded performance . i7 5970x will be released in summer
i5 4670k and i7 4770k have the same performance . Bigger cache size doesn't mean anything to Dolphin
As you can see in our official Dolphin Benchmark, i5 4670k @ 4.4GHz outperforms i7 4770k @ 4.3GHz .
