for all P.G members waiting for haswell

[sethsahab]

asalam o alaikum...!!!
this thread is for all the members here who wants to upgrade but waiting for HASWELL ...
finally guys the wait is over...
firstly I would like to thank ASUS for providing the review samples.
Intel, the world's largest semiconductor company, released a new series of CPUs called Haswell. Intel's Haswell series requires a Socket 1150 motherboard. The new socket succeeds Intel's Socket 1155 after nearly 30 months.

Intel is again using the K suffix to mark unlocked processors that give the user the ability to change the multiplier to values higher than the x39 of non-K processors. The new processor series will include two CPUs: the Core i5-4670K and Core i7-4770K.

We had the chance to test and compare the upcoming Core i7-4770K to the two unlocked processors of the Ivy Bridge series.

​Another interesting aspect is the box, which Intel changed after two years. I do not like the new box, but that is not that important as I am only interested in its contents.

Overclocking the new Haswell series is a bit different than overclocking an Ivy Bridge CPU.
Users have the ability to breach the BCLK limit of around 106-107 MHz on Ivy Bridge, making a frequency of 130 MHz a real possibility, which has as an effect on higher memory frequency as well.

Like before, the frequency is determined by BCLK (Base Clock) x Multiplier; 35x100 MHz for the stock speed of 3.5 GHz or 39x100 MHz for 3.9 GHz with the help of Intel's Boost technology.

For our tests, we overclocked by adjusting the bclock in order to force a multiplier of x35. The maximum we achieved was 120MHz with a voltage of 1.2 V.

We would have liked more than 4.5 GHz out of that chip, but it did not like the voltage.

Here is the maximum frequency we got:

Not many differences here. Score is equal to those of the i7-3770K.

..................

The performance increase here is high enough to say that it surprised us. The i7-4770K at 4.2 GHz has a score equal to the i7-3770K at 4.5 GHz!

Well last night apple macbook air shows how good haswell is ... More power , more efficient .. Mac book air now gives 12 hours of battery which was previously around 5 hours .. Without and compromise in performance ..

From 3rd to 4th gen. Off-course there will be no such difference .. But upgrading from 2nd gen. Is like moving from rough to fluidity

C'mon....i5-2500k is still a legend, lets try not forgetting it :')
