haswell and z87

[billythekid2012]

This must have been asked

 

But from what you have seen on the z87 and haswell

 

And if you to build a new pc do you thing its worth it

from what I read it like 10% faster then 3770k but better gpu

 

Not to sure whats new on the z87 boards just that's it 1150 and I think it has more intel sata 3 ports

That's pretty much it unless you wanna get deep into the more technical stuff.

I read like laptop and  tablet going to benefit from haswell a lot more

I've been debating this myself for the last four weeks (was also waiting for the 780, got that now but nothing to run it on). I reckon may as well go haswell as some people said earlier. There is the possibility of receiving a chip with the very (very) minor USB bug it'd be worth it to be on the latest socket, considering its not going to cost more (depending on motherboard prices).

If Ivy Bridge drops significantly in price then I'll happily grab a 3770K, otherwise Haswell!

1. A little bit of performance increase

2. Much better for laptops

3. Much better overclocking

4. More SATA 6Gbps

5. More native USB 3.0

6. Most boards appear to be wired 16x/8x/8x instead of 16x/8x/4x/ like on Z77

 

As for price drops, come on guys... Sandy Bridge is still the same price as Ivy Bridge right now.  If you think there's going to be a sudden cliff that Ivy Bridge prices fall off of from day 1 when Haswell drops you're going to be disappointed xD  Intel, NVIDIA, AMD, they all know that the stuff from 1 generation back is still very powerful and still will be people looking into them.  They won't slash the prices until the hardware is obsolete, if they're still relevant in the hardware world and people will still pay for them at only slightly reduced prices, the aren't going to sell them for cheap.  The 680 hasn't suddenly dropped in price and neither will the 670 when the 770 drops; they never do, generation after generation, I don't know why every year everything gets all hyped about hoping prices go down.

I'm personally going to be waiting for Haswell-E. From what I've heard it will be supporting DDR4 RAM. Sounds exciting :)

Haswell-e is a server CPU.. Just FYI

They're just high performance CPUs actually, more for workstation usage like Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E.  Xeons are server CPUs.
