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.
