asalam o alaikum...!!! :)
this thread is for all the members here who wants to upgrade but waiting for HASWELL ...
finally guys the wait is over...
firstly I would like to thank ASUS for providing the review samples.
Intel, the world's largest semiconductor company, released a new series of CPUs called Haswell. Intel's Haswell series requires a Socket 1150 motherboard. The new socket succeeds Intel's Socket 1155 after nearly 30 months.

Intel is again using the K suffix to mark unlocked processors that give the user the ability to change the multiplier to values higher than the x39 of non-K processors. The new processor series will include two CPUs: the Core i5-4670K and Core i7-4770K.

We had the chance to test and compare the upcoming Core i7-4770K to the two unlocked processors of the Ivy Bridge series.

Another interesting aspect is the box, which Intel changed after two years. I do not like the new box, but that is not that important as I am only interested in its contents.

Overclocking the new Haswell series is a bit different than overclocking an Ivy Bridge CPU.
Users have the ability to breach the BCLK limit of around 106-107 MHz on Ivy Bridge, making a frequency of 130 MHz a real possibility, which has as an effect on higher memory frequency as well.

Like before, the frequency is determined by BCLK (Base Clock) x Multiplier; 35x100 MHz for the stock speed of 3.5 GHz or 39x100 MHz for 3.9 GHz with the help of Intel's Boost technology.

For our tests, we overclocked by adjusting the bclock in order to force a multiplier of x35. The maximum we achieved was 120MHz with a voltage of 1.2 V.

We would have liked more than 4.5 GHz out of that chip, but it did not like the voltage.

Here is the maximum frequency we got:

Not many differences here. Score is equal to those of the i7-3770K.

..................


The performance increase here is high enough to say that it surprised us. The i7-4770K at 4.2 GHz has a score equal to the i7-3770K at 4.5 GHz!

From 3rd to 4th gen. Off-course there will be no such difference .. But upgrading from 2nd gen. Is like moving from rough to fluidity :)

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
