Compression and Encryption
7-Zip Compression
I decided to replace the WinRAR test with a more repeatable and threaded application – 7-Zip.
Haswell jumps out ahead of even the Sandy Bridge-E Core i7-3970X in our testing here and stays just ahead of Ivy Bridge – an edge of 5% on the 4 thread result.
TrueCrypt Encryption
TrueCrypt is one of the most popular pieces of software for disk encryption and it includes a handy benchmark mode to test the capabilities of your processor. Keep in mind that many modern CPUs include AES acceleration which is used throughout TrueCrypt.
Thanks to the improved AES performance of Haswell, the Core i7-4770K is 24% faster than the Core i7-3770K but is still slower than the 6-core Core i7-3970X SNB-E. In our non-AES accelerated tests the AMD FX-8350 does very well and actually beats out the stock speed Haswell by a small margin.

WTF Newegg/resellers. Have you really been gouging people this long?
Its been that way for a long
Its been that way for a long time if you have a local MicroCenter to pick one up at, otherwise its still ~$320 at most etailers
They are not making any money

I`m going Haswell when Blue
I`m going Haswell when Blue hits.
Also , I saw in other tech sites that the 4770 is not the top performing Haswell chip that will be released.
There will be others with more GPU horsepower ?
I presently have a C2Q 9550
I presently have a C2Q 9550 12 MB L2 cache…would I get much benefit ?
Stepping up from a C2Q 9550
Stepping up from a C2Q 9550 (same chip I have now) to just an i7 920 would be a huge leap, let alone SB being another sizable jump, with the 5% from both Haswell and IB I think it’s safe to say you will see major performance boost even with a 1Ghz OC on that chip you have now.
I haven’t went out to upgrade myself because I was a believer in the Haswell empty promises that wasted my time, but I work with machines that are SB i5’s and they are smoking smooth, quiet, cool, and fast.
I’ve only heard of a lower
I’ve only heard of a lower TDP 65W model that has the eDRAM onboard (flagship iGPU) that is supposed to be comparable to the i7 4770K, but I really don’t see how that is possible.
Anyways, I wouldn’t call anything with more “GPU” power to be a top performer on the 4770K lineup because to be quite honest, nobody buying those chips is looking for the integrated GPU component. They’d probably sell better if they took that space and replaced it with 2 extra cores. People would have far less to bitch about and you’d see performance gains that would give Intel another 4 years of this 5% performance boost before people start bitching about monopoly.
AMD could name their chip
AMD could name their chip SuperDuperIntelKiller and it still wouldn`t be close.
Cinebench 11.5 .
Cinebench 11.5 . multithread
SB->6.8
Ivy->7.01
Haswell -> 7.68
Here is my conclusion:
NOT WORTH IT.
Ivy should be 2x faster than SB.
Haswell should be 4x times faster than SB and 2x Ivy, not a 10% >< Intel thinks we're all idiots or what? It'a all AMD's fault which does not put enough pressure. Period.

Also a follow up to the first
Also a follow up to the first page there is NO Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) in the Core i7 4770K Processor.

Not to sound like a dick, the first page was just a wast of time I’m not a design engineer now if I had access to the equipment I be more then gladly to study the Architecture.
I do know what your talking about though but for the newbie or first timer they wouldn’t have a clue why because your throwing words with no meaning or diagrams to where it’s coming in or going out and what it’s connected to. Long story short I got bored very fast and just wanted to skip the first page all together but didn’t.
In the future don’t throw up shit like this unless you have some sort of diagram to follow, Tom’s Hardware don’t use this and either does HardOCP keep it simple but yet in lighting the read slowly not slide show screen shot’s from IDF.
Second Page well let’s just say I didn’t pay for a $400 Graphics card to be reading about Intel’s GT2 Architecture and Mobile Crap but then again some people are probable interested in this stuff but I doubt anyone that read this website is.
Thanks for the Overkill Review PCPer.
Evelyn. I agree that
Evelyn. I agree that Raymond`s postlng is flabbergasting, yesterday I got a gorgeous Acura after I been earnin $7654 this-last/4 weeks and just over ten k last munth. without a doubt its my favourite-work Ive ever had. I started this six months/ago and practically straight away began to make over $82, per-hr. I use the details here, Bow6.com
Wow. Sort of cool but barely
Wow. Sort of cool but barely evolutionary and nothing crazy new. So glad I bought a beefy 2600k and a sick GB z68. I knew the rumors around haswell were too good to be true. The bottom line of this review should be- “If you are a PC gamer with a fast GPU and an i7. Ignore Haswell altogether.” Honestly did we hit a wall? Is 5GHZ on 8 cores good enuf for anything? I will wait (probably for a long time) for the CPU that starts to crush my 2600k in gaming FPS. Glad to see my investment still giving me returns despite several new CPU releases.
Truth be told: Sandy Bridge was the big leap in gaming CPUs. Everything since then has been extremely underwhelming and incremental. Great review as always guys.
Yup totally agree with you. I
Yup totally agree with you. I have had my 2600k for almost 2 1/2 years and 3 years come march 2014.
It overclocks like a beast and although I moved away from p67 boards to a z77, It is still rocking without worrying.
Not to sound contradiction but I am going to give my 2600k to my son and keep it in the family. I ordered a 4770k and a z87 board and that will be it until there is a huge jump in microprocessors.
Idle power consumption was
Idle power consumption was higher than the 3770 most likely due to the FIVR.

I have a new rig. Asus
I have a new rig. Asus maximus vi extreme board and ci7 4770k but it wouldnt give any display via hdmi to me. Please help !! The only way i am able to use my desktop new is that i have temporarily installed a hd7770 and using its hdmi output for display.
Thanks in advance. My retailer told me that since its k processor u need a graphics card for display!!?!
@ryan!could you adjust
@ryan!could you adjust message signal interrupt value to one per core per device in the future(if you aren’t already)specificly for CPU with GPU onboard.driver are limited to one interrupt per socket per device.(ya it is limited!but ms suggest one MSI per physical CPU.since now each core are CPU . I feel it isn’t fair for cpu including GPU to ignore this!why I ignore normal GPU?diminishing return.I feel this have a more dramatic impact on Apr like has well or jaguar then on desktop with GPU like a 7970.Ty Ryan
PS:Drivers can register a single InterruptMessageService routine that handles all possible messages or individual InterruptService routines for each message

I7 920 fanatics: the 920 is a great cpu of you are gaming, doing Photoshop and other light stuff. If you are doing 3D, video editing and compositing and other heavy stuff, the 4770 will swipe the floor with your 920, in performance and power consumption.
