Haswell runs about 15C cooler than Ivy at equivalent clock speeds, which is about the margin of improvement people were getting by de-lidding Ivy:

Every other review I have read has found that Haswell runs considerably hotter and is a bear to overclock. I just canceled my order for an CM 212; if I buy one of these, it seems something more substantial is called for. Keep in mind these reviews were of engineering samples are likely very "good" chips. Retail may be less capable.

e.g.

Toms Hardware posted:

We’re going to have to accept that Haswell-based parts get hotter, faster, it sounds like, and that they might fall a few hundred megahertz short of comparable Ivy Bridge-based parts with conventional cooling methods. It’s a good thing, then, that the architecture is inherently faster to help compensate.

X Bit Labs posted:

Thus, even a small increase in voltage leads to a dramatic increase in temperature of the computing cores, which means that the Haswell microarchitecture is energy efficient at low clock rates and low voltages only. Haswell-based desktop and overclocker-friendly CPUs are not energy-efficient at all. As a result, Haswell’s overall overclocking potential doesn’t inspire much optimism at all. In other words, another iteration in Intel’s microarchitecture is in fact a step back in terms of frequency potential, even though Intel did everything possible to compensate for it by adding extra overclocking-friendly features into their new processors.

Benchmark Reviews posted:

With the maximum multiplier raised to 47 and a core voltage of 1.4V, I could boot into Windows, but the system would crash quickly under most benchmarks. Dropping the multiplier to 46, yielding 4.6GHz, enabled me to run most of the benchmarks, but temperatures would spike (as they did under Ivy Bridge) despite the best efforts of the Thermaltake Silver Arrow cooler with its twin 140mm fans and massive heat sink. Benchmarks like x264HD 5.0 and SPECapc Lightwave would crash the system after a minute or so.

Vortez posted:

...using both Noctua NH-U14S and Corsair H100i...The 4670K managed to overclock up to 45 – 4.5GHz from 3.40GHz, a 32% overclock. This is a significant increase but it did require a fair amount of vcore - 1.45v to be exact. After several hours of trial and error no amount of voltage increase within the barrier of safe temperatures (not exceeding 95C) would allow the core frequency to move beyond 4.6GHz and remain stable...Our 4770K on the other hand, required much less voltage to achieve its milestone. The 4770K managed to overclock to 47 – 4.7GHz from 3.50GHz, a 34% overclock. Again this is an encouraging result. Furthermore we only needed 1.33v for this achievement. As with the 4670K, we tried to get closer to the 5GHz mark but again no amount of voltage increase within safe temperatures would allow more than 4.7GHz.

The final review (Vortez) is of a retail chip, though note they are using very high end cooling.

The bench only shows desktop cpus, so even if it were newer, it wouldn't show up. I hear you about waiting for a Haswell Thinkpad. In my laptop, I'm running a 2GHz Core 2 Duo, so I'm in a slightly worse position than you. I'm just wondering how the iGPU will compare to my 9600m GT, not that I game on it anymore.

I'm aware at how good the GT3e is. I was thinking (though I didn't mention it) more along the lines of how the HD4600 would compare. I don't really expect to get the HD5200 on an i5.

The 520M is probably beefier than the 9600 GT - higher clocks, more CUDA cores, Fermi rather than whatever-9600 GT-is.

Compared to the Geforce 9600M GT, the Intel HD4600 has about 25% higher pixel and texture fillrate, with about 4X the compute performance and the same memory bandwidth. I'd say the HD4600 is a straight upgrade.

650M kills HD4600.

AnandTech posted:

For the past few years Intel has been threatening to make discrete GPUs obsolete with its march towards higher performing integrated GPUs. Given what we know about Iris Pro today, I'd say NVIDIA is fairly safe. The highest performing implementation of NVIDIA's GeForce GT 650M remains appreciably quicker than Iris Pro 5200 on average. Intel does catch up in some areas, but that's by no means the norm. NVIDIA's recently announced GT 750M should increase the margin a bit as well. Haswell doesn't pose any imminent threat to NVIDIA's position in traditional gaming notebooks. OpenCL performance is excellent, which is surprising given how little public attention Intel has given to the standard from a GPU perspective.

And this coming from a guy is doing his darnedest to like Haswell.

If I'm reading that chart correctly, then the E3-1275 is the equivalent of the i7-4770K? I've been needing an upgrade for a while and I'd take TSX over overlocking.

If so, it'd be a new thing. I haven't seen ECC support in any consumer-oriented Intel boards in ... ever?

Supermicro has a line of single-proc server (== ECC) boards ready to go for launch, the X10SLA, SLH, SLL and SLM. I think I'm under NDA still, so I can't endorse the accuracy of anything on that site outside of their SKU decoder ring.

The E3 family are desktop silicon with features enabled. They also have some limitations like 32 GB max, no RDIMM options, only two memory channels and are single processor only with a quad core. The E5s and E7s are beefed up, 192GB memory max 4 channels and up to 8 cpus per motherboard and can have up to eight or ten cores per cpu.
From what I see, yes the E3-1375v3 would be similar to a 4770k, but the xeon would have some more featured enabled like VT-d for a VM hosts, and ECC ram support; in case anyone was wondering. I'm not even sure most productivity programs make use of TSX, or will in the next few years.
Z** anything won't support ECC, IIRC none of the recent desktop northbridges have.

edit; E7s 88** series can support 8 cpus per Mobo.

I'm a developer who mainly works with highly concurrent apps so I really want to play around with TSX. On the other hand, unless my work foots the bill for a dedicated system, I don't really want to give up SLI for gaming at home. If I could get ECC for just the premium of the memory I'd be on board, looks like none of those Supermicro boards would work.

E5-24xx can support 375GB and E5-26xx can support of to 750GB of RAM. Of course it would cost you a lot of money to do that but there you go. I also believe that is when they're used in a dual socket configuration if my experience buying these is anything. Either way it will be a while before Haswell Xeons that are useful come out. Right now they're still on Sandy Bridge 'tech'.

This kind of got lost in the excitement: Intel announced on Friday that future Celeron and Pentium processors will be based on the Silvermont Atom, not Core processors. This increases the market segmentation between the Pentium and Core i3 models significantly. No word on whether we'll still see Haswell Celerons and Pentiums.

Guess we know the answer to the "Hey, what happened to Atom?" question now. Seems pretty ballsy given that they'll have to die harvest Haswell chips for something and if that's what they're doing for their mobile strategy, well that's pretty risky if you ask me.

In my opinion Atom and Celeron being Atom based is fine, but they should drop the Pentium brand now. It's sad that their once flagship brand has been pummeled into something hopeless. Why even keep it around?
