Haswell is the codename for a processor microarchitecture developed by Intel's Oregon team as the successor to the Ivy Bridge architecture.Using the22 nm process, Intel officially announced CPUs with this microarchitecture on June 4, 2013 at Computex Taipei 2013. With Haswell, Intel introduced a low-power processor designed for convertible or 'hybrid' Ultrabooks, having the Y suffix. Intel demonstrated a working Haswell chip at the 2011 Intel Developer Forum.

Is anyone here already buyed or started using the 4th Generation Intel® Processor ? Is there any problem running with it ?

Reviews have gone live already, just look up "Haswell Review" and you will get any information about issues you need (there are none except a minor bug where certain external hard drives or flash drives won't wake up after the computer has gone to sleep and wakes up again, you just need to unplug and replug the device to fix it)

We know about Haswell, no need for the Wikipedia quote. Haswell chips are great, but they have the same crappy TIM as Ivybridge chips do meaning they get hot whilst overclocking. As long as you have the right cooler, you will get great results. There is about a 10% performance gain going from Ivybridge to Haswell, so if you are running an Ivybridge chip now, you probably don't need to upgrade. I'm personally staying on Sandybridge for a while.
