Had my 3570k for about a year and i want something new to play with.

 

I would go with Haswell but i really want to have a ridiculous number of cores.

I'm happy with my 3570k at 4.5ghz. Although it refused to go higher with good voltages, It should do. 

 

Now my 560 ti on the other hand...Y U NO 2GB???

I have to wait for solid reviews for me to make a choice.

Haswell processors will still have only 4 cores.

I currently have a Sandy Bridge Core i3-2120 and OK not the fastest chip in the world but I'm very happy with it but what I am looking forward to is an Ivy Bridge-E Core i7-4820K, I think that could be quite good.

 

I was also reading that maintream Ivy Bridge-E was going to have up to 8 cores but I can't find anything to prove it.

I'm running a 3770k @ 4.2ghz and am very happy with the way my system performs in my usage scenarios. See no reason to upgrade to Haswell and can't afford the higher-tier chips even if I wanted to.

I'm more interested in the new features it unlocks, as well as the new mobo chipset. I couldn't care less about hyperthreading. I should've gone with a 2500K during the Sandy Bridge era.

 Ivy Bridge-E will only have 6 cores, haswell-E is supposed to have 8-10 cores

Haswell doesn't look like it's going to be a significant jump.

 

I'm currently running a 3570K and GTX670 so the plan is to wait till mid-late 2014. based on the slides I've seen that should be extected release for broadwell and nVidia's next gen Maxwell.

 

That plan could of course go up in smoke if the 780 is as ridiculous as the rumours say.

- Silverstone Fortress FT02 - MSI Z77 Mpower - i5 3570k @ 4.0GHZ 1.09v - 8gb Mushkin Blackline 1600 - MSI GTX 670 PE -


- Lenovo T430 (1600x900) - i5 3210m - 8GB DDR3 1333 - nVidia NVS5400M - 256GB mSATA OS - 320GB HDD-

I'm going on Haswell 4770K, right now i have the 3770K, I'm only upgrading because of the MSI MPower board or the Xpower board, not for the cpu benefit

:0 I would get another card to sli if I had 2gb.

 

From what I've heard, the 560 ti sli runs circles around other options of the same price point.

It does quite well. And to rub it in further, I have two 2GB 560 Ti's in SLI. They're also overclocked. :D

If you reread my post it says

My 3570K is perfectly fine right now. Performance is epic with it.

Normally I would appreciate the rub but this is painful D:
