I've got some more info on the new Haswell processor!
Apparently, close sources to Intel say that the first Haswell processor is set to be on shelves of stores in June, it is an i7-4765 running at 2 ghz, (can be oc'ed 2.8 on stock cooling) it also is very power efficient running at only 35W TDP, and has a Intel hd 4600 graphics card, which is comparable to a mid range ATi or Nvidia card.
The price will be slightly higher, but take into consider the speed difference and graphics difference as well.
It seems like a new world of possibilities, a 15 second speed up in boot speed, it seems great!
Pros:
- faster than previous
- uses less power
- newer technology (22 nm)
- more efiicient
- works fast as a mac
Cons:
- does not use LGA 1156, USES LGA 1150
- may overheat if not tested properly (dont know too many cons)
As you can see Haswell is a good choice to upgrade if you want to upgrade, but if you have a Core 2 Duo E6600 or older, its about time to upgrade.
Whatever you choose it will be great.
