I'm not so impressed to be honest, was expecting more from Haswell.

For me it was more along the lines of 'wanting more but not going to get it'. I didn't think we'd see any major changes. The real question as mentioned is that are they like Sandy Bridge overclockers or Ivy Bridge...

Curious what the advantage would be of investing in a new mobo AND chip, especially if it is true that Broadwell, the next gen afterwards, will come in BGA (soldered onto the mobo) only. Currently planning a new build for the summer, and had been leaning to a mobo 1150 and 4770k. Now I'm wondering if it makes better sense to go for a 2011 mobo and current Sandy Bridge CPU. At least I could directly upgrade the CPU when the Ivy Bridge-E chips are released end of year. Seem to be stuck on ticks, Intel!

Whoops! Saw on another thread the that other rumours are that IBE may never happen... and if that happens:

"For those of you who purchased an LGA 2011 motherboard, cross your fingers for Ivy Bridge E -- word on the web is that Haswell E will require a new chipset (X99) and is unlikely to be compatible with existing X79 boards."

(see article here: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/will_intel_skip_over_ivy_bridge_e2013)

Crap! Time to stop reading news and just buy what's best and available at the time!

Plese read: Just so everyone won't go completely batshit: it said in the Tom's Hardware article that it was an engineering sample, so it might be more powerful once it actually gets released. You shouldn't skip directly to the benches, some things might get misinterpreted.

Wow, didn't know Broadwell was confirmed to be BGA. Must be living under a rock.

I'm pretty sure intel stated that only the mainstream consumer processors would have a BGA line and that the 'enthusiast grade' chips would still be LGA style.

Exactly! Come on Intel what has happened to the 'Tock' cycle!

Everything I heard to date about Haswell was that it would be an "improvement", nothing more. Supposed to be cooler then IB. A better over clocker. Have to see. Better power consumption...

4670K is going to rock! I can finally make a tiny ITX "console" for almost no money with the HD4600 graphics and no dedicated GPU. Hopefully the thermal performance is A grade, so I can either overclock it or even cool it passively.

PS4 fans will sheet bricks when they see a PC that is cheaper, more silent, prettier and smaller than their console outrunning their games on a TV with nine times the storage and ten times the class.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I can't tell if you are trolling, or if you just didn't read the article...

Judging by this review it would seem that I'll be sticking with my 2600k for a fair while longer.

I saw the exact same thing a month or so ago, and I was surprised. But actually pleasantly surprised. Considering the very small changes from Sandy to Ivy, and Ivy having heat issues, and not overclocking as good as Sandy, it actually makes perfect sense to me.

BTW: I'm pretty sure Broadwell will be regular LGA1150 socket.

Well, I'd consider 2700k, 3770k, etc mainstream & the 1366, 2011 stuff is 'enthusiast grade'.
