Intel Haswell Refresh Lineup For Q2 2014 Unveiled

[deathjester]

Hey if AMD can sell higher binned 8320's as 8350's and now as 9xxx, I guess Intel can raise clock speed 100 mhz on non K's and laugh it up as there 4 core non k's beat 8 "integer cores" in "8 core games". Seeing that Sandybridge is better then an 8350, why bother doing anything exciting other then tablet crap and workstation stuff. 

 

Can't wait till Mantle comes out and my I7 can max out a r9 290x at 1.0-1.5ghz, and an I5 can max the card out at 2ghz

I bet the power delivery system will be put back onto the mobo.

No "K's" shame. I might have gotten it. Looks like I'm gonna stick with my 2600k.

thats what im thinking and or hoping..

Really your going to make that big of a deal. So what it causes you temperatures to be 3 degrees higher. Oh yea and that stupid delidding bullshit that people do to drop a degree and loose warranty on a 200-400 dollar CPU.

If it actually were 3C people wouldn't have cared at all but since it was 10C or more it actually matters a lot for people who actually want to overclock. I delidded mine and I don't regret it one bit. The warranty thing doesn't bother me since I've never had a cpu die on me and I will probably replace this one within a couple of years so it'll easily last that long. As for the new cpus coming out I agree with most of the people here, they're not significant at all.

_Yea so you can OC more and keep the heat down.

[Giddyguy]

weird... i 7 4690 has no HT.... only 4 threads... I believed all i7 had HT...

its actually an i5 4690. i5's don't have HT. (not sure how you missed that, maybe there was a typo before and I am now seeing the corrected version?)

 

but the i5 4690 is interesting and increase in clock and lower TDP? But since its a desktop card there really is no point..

[Exotath]

So do these still have the voltage regulator on the chip?

[SkilledRebuilds]

2600k>2700k all over again......without the K's - Adding 100mhz and calling it a day...or night, or a new CPU is pretty shit.

Speed binning = New products later down the pipeline.....

[TheProfosist]

It isnt called a refresh for nothing...

[Andrew48]

AMD needs to step up their game quick! This is ridiculous. I hope AMD is developing something awesome secretly... 

[Nineshadow]

Wait...so Broadwell will still use LGA 1150,right?

[The Great Lord Mccodi]

I want broadwell and I want it NAOO!!!!

It has been known for some time now that the VRM is being moved back off the die because of the heat issues. This is also the reason why the refreshed Haswell chips will be incompatible with current LGA 1150 motherboard sockets.

Right, I was just a little thrown off by the first post. Thanks for clearing it up.

 

 

Intel Haswell Refresh Lineup For Q2 2014 Unveiled In total, Intel is planning to launch seven new Haswell refresh processor variants which include the Core i7-4790, Core i7-4690, Core i5-4590, Core i5-4460, two low TDP variants with the ‘T’ suffix and a single low-voltage CPU with the ‘S’ suffix. The new Haswell refresh processors from Intel would be compatible with the LGA 1150 socket and both 8-Series and 9-Series chipsets. Intel’s 9-Series chipset will be able to support Intel’s Broadwell processor generation which would be the first chip to be based on the 14nm architecture for consumers.

The Intel Core i7-4790 would be replacing the Core i7-4770 and bring a 100 MHz clock speed bump bringing the final clock frequency to 3.6 GHz base and 4.0 GHz turbo. The Core i5-4690 would replace the Core i5-4670 with clock speed adjustments of 3.50 GHz base and 3.90 GHz turbo while the other two processors which include the Core i5-4590 and Core i5-4460 would be replacing Core i5-4570 and Core i5-4440 respectively with clock speeds rated at 3.3/3.7 GHz and 3.2/3.4 GHz.

The prices would remain the same as current processors since these chips would basically be replacing the current models at their respective MSRPs. As for the unlocked K-series chips, Intel is expected to launch K-Series Haswell Refresh chip in Q3 2014 prior to the launch of their Broadwell K-Series chips and their flagship Haswell-E HEDT platform by the end of 2014.
