Intel 4th Gen 'Haswell' CPUs available from 2nd June AEST

[djGrrr]

Everything's more expensive at NCIX. Cheaper prices with free shipping at Newegg.

You do know that you can price match things at NCIX?

The Intel guy on the Newegg video said the K models would ship with no stock cooler, and showed some skinny boxes that were on the table (like the ones you see LGA 2011 CPUs ship in).  From what I can tell though the K series ones all have thick boxes with coolers.  I wonder if there will be a no stock cooler version soon for like $15-20 cheaper?

[Glenwing]

Hey guys are going to be forced to use the standard heatsinks that come with haswell or will 1155 sockets work?

 

Cooler mounting hasn't changed, all 1155 coolers are compatible.

[striker1553]

My guess Glenwing will a be a big fat NO. Simply because Intel can make a few more bucks off you by including the cheapest stock cooler they can think up. But, does anyone know if an 1155 waterblock will work with the 1150 socket mounts?

[SSOB]

I highly dislike the box 'art' not intel like at all :/. Prices are a bit high to my liking gut i'm sure they'll drop soon like always.

[Flamewalker]

not quite impressed with the prices, they were said to be equal or a bit lower than previous generation as stated by few sources.

 

They are only 10 € more then the previous generation, for example a 4770k costs 329 € and a 3770k costs 319€ over here (Belgium, http://www.alternate.be/Intel®/Intel®+Core_i7-4770K/html/product/1063382/?)

They are also available at "Caseking" in Germany, and even most of the announced Z87 Boards are there as well, only a few Asus boards aren't available yet!

as of 7:41 AM you can buy Haswell processors for the microcenter discount of $200 for the 4670K + $40 off a compatible motherboard,and $280 for the 4770K + $40 off a compatible motherboard.
 
they also have the Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H which is available exclusively at microcenter (according to their ad,and I could't find any available in the U.S)

 

 

I don't plan on buying since it'll probably be a 10-30% improvement in performance ,in most cases,from sandybridge.

also considering that it has the same IHS issue as ivybridge,and I would never risk deliding,it wouldn't be worth it. 

 

although if I were I think I'd hold off until the holidays since microcenter always has insane processor deals.

 

does anyone plan on buying haswell at microcenter?

 

heres a partial screenshot of the email ad.

$200 is a very reasonable price for the 4670K.

[target39]

The 4770K is only $50 bucks more than the 3770K and the 4670K is only $30 more than the 3570K! Who's getting one?

[ERSCreeper]

Yeah, I just got stock of 4th gen CPUs ,Gigabyte and ASRock boards at my suppliers!

3rd gen is more expensive than 4th here in South Africa :P

Yeah, but who's got the cheaper CPUs? :P That is all that matters. :D

[ERSCreeper]

Well I get from the suppliers who supply every store in the country, so I get them cheaper :P

[ilikemacandpc]

The microcenter website does not show those prices for the motherboards, even considering the $40 price hike without a bundle. 

[Bleedman0xx]

You do know that you can price match things at NCIX?

That's just more of a time consuming hassle, IMO. And then there's the waiting time on shipping since I'm not in Canada.

How much cheaper? Cheaper than 4770K for $279.99 USD +$40 off with motherboard bundle cheap?

[mgsstar]

At NCIX and newegg the 4670k is $250 :(

[ERSCreeper]

How much cheaper? Cheaper than 4770K for $279.99 USD +$40 off with motherboard bundle cheap?

 

4770K is like $370 or so. 3770K is like $380. That's South Africa. But I am not looking at Direct supplier prices. Im looking at store prices ATM.

[mvitkun]

The microcenter website does not show those prices for the motherboards, even considering the $40 price hike without a bundle. 

not sure why,in the email it says 

 

 

Price after instant savings when purchased with a 4th Gen Intel Core i5-4670K or i7-4770K processor / $209.99 SOLD SEPARATELY / REG. $239.99; 614842

typically the above means:

REG = other stores price

sold separately = microcenter price

price listed = after instant savings and rebate

 

and I don't see any rebates.

 

according to microcenter in the AD their pricing should be 209.99 for the Asus Z87 pro.but that's not the case.

 

either way if you go over to microcenter they're typically pretty good at customer service so they'd probably give you the price listed in the AD.

They will fit.

So is the 4670k the new 3570k?
I don't understand why they need so many different i5 chips

Consumer options.

They don't need them but it's a result of the binning process.  Some chips aren't as capable as others, but still have four functioning cores.  Plus, consumer options, as Bleedman said.  Some people need a low power chip but still want the quad cores, or are on a budget but don't want to go down to a dual core i3.  Some aren't interested in overclocking or are building it for a non-techie friend.

NCIX has price matching and gives you a free copy of Grid 2 and a T-shirt with your CPU.
