Haswell - Dolphin - Lebada3 - 06-02-2013

I guess this won't provide any speed-up for previous gen users, right?


RE: Haswell - Dolphin - admin89 - 06-02-2013

3-5% performance gain
Compare to your i7 3770k @ 4.5GHz
Dolphin - 3% : i7 4770K @ 4.4GHz = i7 3770k @ 4.5GHz
Multi-threaded app - 5% : i7 4770k @ 4.3GHz = i7 3770k @ 4.5GHz

Since you have Ivy Bridge CPU , you should wait for Skylake or Skymont intead of Haswell & Broadwell
Edit : Base on Dolphin Benchmark (3 users) , Haswell is 10-20% faster than Ivy for some reason . The information i provided above is not correct
So go ahead and get Haswell CPU (i5 4670k) despite being more expensive than Ivy (i5 3570k)


RE: Haswell - Dolphin - pauldacheez - 06-02-2013

Haswell's much more of an improvement for laptops than for desktops – for example, the new sleep states are laptop-only, the power improvements are mostly important to laptoppers, and the Iris Pro 5200 is only included in one OEM-only desktop Haswell variant (likely oriented towards dGPU-less all-in-ones) since it's pointless to have it in a desktop tower where you can just pop in a GTX Titan.

Haswells IPC improvements are mostly for SSE/AVX code. Luckily dolphin does a lot of SSE work. I expect that it will likely receive a 10% IPC boost over ivy bridge in dolphin.


RE: Haswell - Dolphin - admin89 - 06-03-2013

In some benchmarks , Haswell indeed show 9-10% improvement over Ivy Bridge . I was confused a lot .
So I said 3-5% improvement in worst case

Hexus got 0-8% for single threaded benchmarks, and more on the multithreaded benchmarks.

If anyone here is getting a notebook with i7 Haswell CPU, please test Super Mario Galaxy with LLE and share the results.


RE: Haswell - Dolphin - AnyOldName3 - 06-04-2013

It won't be fullspeed.


RE: Haswell - Dolphin - LordVador - 06-04-2013

A notebook will never be good enough for SMG + LLE even with Haswell processors
