    I had i5 760 OCed @ 4.2ghz 24/7
    then Crysis 2 arrived and i jumped to the snappy 2500k
    then Max Payne 3 arrived and i jumped to the liquid mercury 3570k
    If i see a nice Haswell mobo, well ..

    Those benchmarks are pretty disappointing. If true, there will still be no reason to upgrade from this i7 2600k.

    I don't think anyone with more than 2 cores on either P45, P55, P67, Z68, Z77, X48, X58 or X79 will be in desperate need of an upgrade, unless they just have to have the latest (can't hate on that).Peeps like myself on the other hand lol need to get with the program and get more cores.I'm judging from the amount of performance I'm currently getting and it doesn't look like I'm going to have to splurge too much to get where most single card users are at.But I do want a new case also so, yeh the wife isn't too pleased, lol!

    Those are nice upgrades! I guess I've just lost the upgrading bug.

    Intel is smart enough to realize that their igpu sector simply won't match amd's. Amd will always have the advantage of dual gpu setup with their APU series, something intel won't have unless they release a discrete gpu just for this.

    Intel is going for what they know best, power per wattage ratings. Which they getter better and better with mind you.

    Yes, in the big picture of things this 4770k is beastly.

    That's exactly what I said when I read about IB

    In my case i think its worth the upgrade, i been more than happy with my 2500k, but at that time i didnt need hyperthreading, lately i been using much more encoding.... so a 4770k seems like a good bet, there wont be anything better for two more years (since broadwell is only a die shrink, or if there is a Haswell E), so this should give time for sata express and others tec to be included in the next toc.

    Either way hope AMD catches up intel slack "milking us with barely any upgrades...."

    Hopefully, Skylake will be worth it. Looking at its Wikipedia entry it should have mainstream DDR4 support.

    done to mine and to some friends one too...
    lot more heat place for OC and no problem at all since.

    the secret is: be patient, soft and carefull.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Even if it doesn't get as hot at higher temps (assuming they fixed the dieshrink issue), the 3770K would be the more economical choice, especially if it gets a nice discount. I'll upgrade to a newer socket once they iron all the inevitable kinks out, and there's more of a real world performance gain.

    Honestly with integrated VRMs I'd actually think the processor would be either the same as Ivy if they did improve the TIM/IHS or hotter. I mean obviously it's going to reduce total system power and make heat dissipation more efficient as all the heat is being generated in one spot but it's probably something that gamers don't want to hear.

    Seems like tech advancement has really slowed down these days.

    My exact thought that an PCI-e 3.0.

    Again, evolution instead of revolution. I remember my search for a new CPU. I didn't have much money and so looked at the i7-950 that was being phased out back then, price cut to half (250€). Just when I finally had the money, Sandybridge arrived. And suddenly that 300 € i7-2600k stomped previous 900 € CPUs into the ground. I was happy :) Since then nothing has really been worth upgrading. I'm sitting at comfy 4 GHz, stock voltage and know I can go higher if I need to.

    Yeah pretty much was my deciding factor between Sandy vs Ivy. $10 more for more efficiency -- albeit slightly hotter (not a problem with water or good air cooling), less power usage. For an HTPC, Haswell makes a good chip. Though, most people don't want to fork out that kind of money for that kind of application. I really am curious about the temps though, but that'll be answered soon enough. Surprised Tom's Hardware didn't include what most of us are wanting to see, but that's probably saved for another article.

    I doubt pci e 3.0 is going to help much, It may based on your resolution

    yeah its a bit bigger jump, I dont know if I want to update the socket and just have a quad core again to throw in there
