I'm totally sick with the name : i3/i5/i7
Intel ! Why don't you create new name ?
I'm not going to wait till Core i7 9770k
Just kidding ...
I see they raised the power consumption...interesting

I think this is the main reason
I was hoping for a 6 core i7 in the non enthusiast line and it is still disappointing that the unlocked processors lose virtualization.
@ExtremeDude2. Not really. Its lower than the last Tock so we will likely see lower power consumption than ivy on the next Tick.

Agreed. This is getting really boring, other then
Haswell i7
4770K I see no big changes at all that would benefit me drastically from leaving the Ivy Bridge i7 3770K that I already have.
Base frequency is still 3.5GHz, still 4 cores, still 8MB L3 cache and still 3.9GHz with Turbo Boost.
Guess I don't have an itch for it after looking at this.
Well at least Inow know the model number of what I'll be buying. Up till now I'd been calling it an i5 45xxK, and now I know it's an i5 4670K.

They haven't told us jack shit yet. Everyone gets worked up about meaningless specs like clock rate, cache size, and core counts. I'm surprised at you gabriel given that you're a long time forum member.

See above.

Yeah I like the consistency of the naming system in recent years. Unfortunately I know that it won't last.
Quote:I see they raised the power consumption...interesting
Bigger core, same manufacturing process. So of course.
Quote:I was hoping for a 6 core i7 in the non enthusiast line
Well they told us that the core was going to be significantly bigger years ago so I don't see why anyone would expect that.
Quote:and it is still disappointing that the unlocked processors lose virtualization.
Agreed. That still doesn't make sense to me.
As far as the details that actually matter they were released many months ago:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6355/intel...chitecture
http://www.realworldtech.com/haswell-tm/
http://www.realworldtech.com/haswell-cpu/
We know that IPC will significantly improve but we didn't know whether the clock rate would go up, down, or stay the same. I was expecting it to go down so this is actually good news for me. All we can do now is wait for the benchmarks. The improvements they made should boost single and multithreaded performance by at least 20%.
I'm also interested to know if they are still using that god awful TIM.
I may be a long time member NV but my logic can't be understandable by anyone.
I'm in a section of my own.
But yeah stuff like that matters to me, even if it's only numbers that doesn't mean jack shit.
