The 4th Generation Intel Core Processors Arrives In 3,337,200,000,000,000 Nanoseconds

[virusal19]

The official Intel Facebook page uploaded a picture that says "The 4th Generation Intel Core Processors arrives in 3,337,200,000,000,000 nanoseconds" which was uploaded 16 hours ago. 3,337,200,000,000,000 converted is 38.625 days which is 927 hours. 

 

 

 

"In approximately 3,337,200,000,000,000 nanoseconds, Intel will reveal all there is to know about the highly anticipated 4th generation Intel Core processor family," Intel said in a statement.

That's 4 June in Taiwan, where it will be rolled out at Computex.

Haswell is mostly about better battery life and, to a lesser extent, about improved graphics performance. So expect, for instance, Haswell laptops that last longer — maybe a lot longer if other power-saving technologies are also used — than today's latest and greatest offerings.

Here's a quad-core Haswell diagram showing a large graphics engine. What Intel describes as "configurations with large graphics and large cache".

The first Haswell processors out of the chute are expected to be the quad-core variety aimed at high-end laptops. But don't be surprised if more quad-core chips seep into mainstream 13-inch and 14-inch laptops, too, due to Haswell's improved power efficiency.

At the other end of the spectrum will be a new variety of ultra-power-efficient Haswell chips that should allow PC makers — and Apple, if it so chooses — to offer newfangled ultrathin designs with good performance.

And of course, touch will be a big factor because of Windows 8 — with Windows 8.1 to follow in the second half of the year.

But it's not just a Windows world anymore. Intel told CNET that Android laptops are on the way. While many of them will tap Intel's Atom chip, new designs that run Google's Chrome OS — like the Chromebook Pixel — will adopt Haswell.

I had to Google nanoseconds to hours to figure this out when I saw this on twitter.

Just moments ago, Intel posted a countdown teaser on their social media channels revealing the nanoseconds left (3,337,200,000,000,000) to the launch of Haswell (otherwise known as 4th generation Core), which falls during the annual technology showcase in Taiwan - Computex Taipei 2013.

 

 

According to industry sources, the actual product line launches (Desktop, Mobile, GT3e) will be staggered across the entire week of Computex (3rd-7th June). Actual product availability will as usual, vary between countries and territories but here is some useful advice in case you plan to save up for one of these bunnies:

Thread moved to Tech News.

[Levent]

time to buy razor blades for my ivy bridge(3570k)  <_<

[Jozi]

Hmm so somebody posted this before me, but not in tech news so I didn't notice it. Sorry about double posting and thanks dave for editing :)

[t0wer]

yay, time to upgrade my 1055t.

Why din't you upgrade to FX 6300 or FX 8350, anyway Steamroller will be out soon and there are information's that indicate IPC improvements over 25-30% compared to Piledriver. If that is true then Steamroller will single threaded performance on par Ivy Bridge and multi-threaded performance considerably above comparable upcoming Haswell processors.

 

8 core's > 4 core's + 2 virtual fake core's

No worries - if i had thought about it sooner, i would've placed the extra bit in your post into the OP, but didn't think that far ahead!

Well this might be i7 4770K box art:

Not a huge fan of the box art, but who cares! A box is a box.

That's funny, I was thinking of building my sister a computer for her birthday which is the 4th of June :P

 

Must be a sign. I just need to see how the Intel HD graphics perform.

[FireFox]

Even though I can't buy one yet but I kind of can't wait for the Haswell Xeon E5 v3's (if they are going to be v3's), should have a serious amount of 'get out of my way little man' computing grunt.

didn't feel the need, and have other money sucking projects going on constantly. but with that information on steamroller, I'll have to wait and see. or I may just wait for ddr4.

[nishank93]

Fantastic. Now I want to see what the motherboard manufacturers have in stock for us, especially ASUS. Can't wait to plan out my summer build with the new stuff!

[joelthezombie15]

If only it was on june 15 which is my birthday. But hey earlier is better

[mgsstar]

Can't wait! Planning to get this for my future build and waiting to see what features motherboard companies will offer with this cpu! 

[Hirad123]

THIS MADE MY DAY! gotta start saving up from now if i'm gonna buy one of these bad boys. Hopefully they actually make a huge performance difference other than the integrated graphics but like Linus and Slick said i don't think they will, maybe the new chipset will be cool? lol

[FireFox]

A box is a box.

 

What matters is the little beast within:)

[FireFox]

Apparantly it'll have around the same performance increase as Ivy Bridge did over Sandy Bridge.

Indeed. >: D *Evil Voice*

And here I am , thinking ' get my ivy bridge build ' and move on with life. With only a little over a month , I'll wait. Hopefully its worth it.

Intel Ivy Bridge is still a very good arcitecture, in my build that I've just got up and running has a Sandy Bridge Core i3 and I'm very happy with it but I will be getting a Core i7-2600K in the distant future.

 

Haswell is going to be good but the older gen's are still good also.

Yeah , im currently using the LGA775 processors so ivy will be a BIG leap for me. But since haswell only like 30-40 days away from launch , might as well wait for it and see hows the performance .
