Not that impressive.

I'm excited for Haswell. I'm really interested to see the new architecture on the now-mature 22nm process.

Great. Thanks for the link.

So, I had a read. I wasn't expecting earthshattering performance increases, so the preview was right in line with what I thought it would be. The 4770k slots nicely on top of the 3770k. I'm looking forward to six Sata 6Gb/s and more USB 3.0. I'm disappointed to see GT3 only making an appearance on BDA platforms. I think intel is missing out on the people that want a decent on-die graphics package in a cheap desktop. For most people, staying sandy bridge will be plenty for a few more years it seems.

You want decent Integrated graphics go with AMD. AMD will extend the lead again with the new processors they will release this year.

I was expecting at least Quad Channel Memory :( , and more PCIE lanes

what is the point of releasing this generation ? more SATA? thats a Chipset function not CPU ...

I will wait for the IvyBridge-E

I'd want decent integrated graphics and a good processor ;)

Why cant Intel just make a deal with Nvidia for integrated GF ? they dont have to own Nvidia just work with them ...

I don't think Nvidia will work with Intel. Nvidia has dreams of glory, particularly in the mobility market (Tegra) and views Intel as the enemy.

Not to mention, it would be extremely hard for Intel/nVidia to come to terms for an on-die nVidia GPU on a Intel CPU. There is so much proprietary design in those two designs, I just can't imagine those two companies working together to the point that they need to to make it happen. Also, nVidia & Intel work at different node levels when it comes the actual process (currently nVidia is 25nm, Intel is 22nm). Doesn't seem like a big deal, but you often have to redesign during a process shrink.

P.S. I'll be upgrading from Sandy Bridge to Haswell, mostly for the new platform design.

I'll be getting the 4770k to replace my 2500k. I'm probably going for an itx mainboard this time with a case labs enclosure.

I just went to the 3770K a few weeks back. I've got it at 5 GHz with decent stability - 4.6 with complete stability. Never blue screened, but at 5, FarCry 3 will occasionally CTD. Never exceeded 42c even under load, so I may need to tweak the voltage a bit more.

Anyway, these are great fun for overclocking.

I wish I would have gone with the i7 last time. The extra threads ended up becoming handy. I won't make that mistake again. I have a 3570k in my hackintosh. Ivy bridge is certainly a good chip.

I'm still expecting a brand new architecture... this is just meh

I saw some graphs that showed Ivy Bridge Extreme coming Q3 2013. The most interesting thing I saw was that there will be a 4820K, with the K. The current 3820 is a powerful chip, but is locked. The entry level IBE will be overclockable and, hopefully, around the same price as the 3770k like the current 3820 is.
