Intel’s 4th gen processor codename: Haswell offers superior performance over the previous generation Ivybridge by up to 10% clock for clock. This astounding performance boost results in performance improvements in multi-tasking, encoding, gaming and multithreaded applications. Intel’s 4th generation processor has improved PCI-Lane 3.0 bandwidth which helps further boost performance of latest generation 3 graphics cards for the ultimate gaming experience.
For overclocking enthusiasts, Intel’s 4th gen CPU has improved memory overclocking support, with up to and beyond 3000MHz possible with the very best memory kits. Memory bandwidth is critically important to Haswell compared to previous generations. High frequency memory performance significantly improves encoding, gaming and benchmarking tasks.
The biggest leap in Intel’s Haswell processor is the on-board graphics which is now up to 2.6x faster than previous HD4000 found in the Ivybridge CPU. What this means is these latest processors can actually play the latest games in HD with low/medium settings applied. Of course if you want to experience True HD gaming at maximum details then a dedicated graphics card is still a must.
There are two words in your vocabulary that should never meet—Game and Over. You love playing, and you love winning, so you demand unmatched performance, the ability to customise your rig, and features that put you in control of the action.

You just can’t go wrong
Bought this CPU as part of my new Gaming PC i’ve built (First build ever). At first I was planning on going for an i5 simply because the performance in games compared to this cpu isn’t “Drasticly” different but when it comes to multitasking and video rendering/editing you honestly can’t go wrong with this.The stock speed is 3.50GHz like its stated, i’ve got mine running at a stable overclock of 4.5GHz and it’s ridiculously quick. This CPU alongside decent ram, you’ll have apps running flawlessly quick, open apps & web pages instantly.My PC:CASE: Corsair 750D Full ATX Windowed CaseMOBO: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard (Originally ordered from Amazon but part didn’t arrive so I got a refund.)CPU: i7 4770k @4.5GHzGPU: EVGA Nvidia GTX 780 Ti SC 3GBRAM: Kingston XMP Beast Series 16GB 2400MHz DDR3 RAMSSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSDHDD: WD 1TBCPU COOLER: Corsair H100i extreme liquid coolerPSU: Corsair AX1200i Professional Series Digital Fully ModularI’ve got all this running on my Asus VG248QE 24-inch 3D 144Hz LED Monitor to give the super smooth & sharp graphical image.All in all, this CPU is a godsend. Absolutely perfect, runs cool on the H100i, no problems installing it onto the MOBO, chews through everything you throw at it and will still take more… The intergrated graphics is really good too! Can run new games at the 30-50~ FPS mark depending on your graphical settings. I’ve tested the graphics on games such as World of Warcraft and it can handle it incredibly well. Got constant 80+ FPS with AA on, Shadows and most of the other settings at Ultra settings.

Great chip, missing some extensions
This is a great successor for Ivy Bridge, mainly with the single-threaded performance improvements, which are definitely noticeable, especially with things like compressing. This chip is overclockable to the 4.4-4.5 levels pretty easily, but I use the H100i to maintain good temps (69-70 degrees at max.), so it is definitely hot, but not as bad as I was expecting and you can get the temps down by 10-15 degrees if you feel that cutting the heat spreader off is worth the risk, (personally, I am not planning on doing it).One criticism that I will have is that this supposedly “flagship” part does not include the new TSX extensions, meaning that you’ll loose some of the multi-threaded speed improvements coming down the line, (e.g. GNU C library already has plans to incorporate this). Or, perhaps if you’re a developer of some heavy multi-threaded stuff this may not be the part for you. Another thing missing from this -K series part is all the important virtualization extensions, so if you’re doing a lot of virtualization you may want to consider the 4770 part instead. To be fair trough, things like KVM and Xen have so little overhead nowdays, that it may not even matter in the end as you can overclock this -K part pretty easily due to its unlocked multiplier and compensate for some of the shortcomings of the -K series with an increased clock frequency.Honestly, I would love to see a -K series part with ALL the new extensions included, but I guess that that could cannibalize Intel’s Xeon business and honestly this is a very good investment already as it will likely remain fast enough for the next 2-3 generations of CPUs, so you can justify the cost.

Despite some of the bad press, this is a great processor.
I have just swapped out an i7-920 for one of these, and what a difference that is.I tend to have quite a few programs running at the same time, normally more than 4, sometimes more than a dozen. The processor copes well. The 4 cores, like the previous i7-920, do become 8 virtual cores when required, and because of the multitasking capabilities of each virtual core, many more programs can be run simultaneously. My work load includes video editing, C, C# (Microsoft Visual Studio), and Python programing (using a freebee thing!), Animating using a range of products (Anime 2d, Toonboom 2d and Truespace 3d), photo editing (using Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, and other Astronomy related products), having a continuous security screen displayed from a webcam looking at our front door, running two screens with totally different programs on, using MS Word and Excel for multiple documents, and doing regular anti-virus/malware scans and backups, sometimes daily, sometimes simultaneously. Often these tasks are run simultaneously. The processor copes well. Oh, lets not forget the games and videos I might watch while I am waiting for a task to finish. And loads more. I am at the PC for at least 10 hours a day.I have been holding off getting a new video card for the PC I have just built using this processor, I wanted to see how the new Intel graphics engine built into the processor worked. I am impressed. I have not yet found anything that has stopped the graphics, or that the graphics can’t cope with. But I don’t play, because of time, the more demanding games, I just play things like Civilisation (the English spelling, no z!), the Empire total war set, Dungeons and Dragons online, plus some of the free stuff given away with my ‘Steam’ account.The processor, although not the fastest in the Haswell range, can be overclocked being the 4770K where the K denotes the processor has been unclocked. So the 3.5cGHz should ba capable of being improved on. I have seen some reports of these processors being clocked up to 4.5GHz. But I am using the supplied cooling that comes with the processor. I would not want to overclock it with standard cooling, although the supplied cooling might take the processor up to 4GHx OK, I don’t want to risk it. I will wait a few months before I try overclocking. That is, I will wait until the processor seems slow, and that might not be that long, I have a history of getting bored with stuff quickly, not matter how good it is.Overall, this is a great processor. If you tend to run up a lot of simultaneous processes, and want them to not hang around, this could be the processor for you.

Long time AMD fan. Last Intel CPU was Pentium 133Mhz. My last rig bit the dust and i decided to get something that didnt feel “good enough” but that felt like it could do anything, for the next few years. Running Windows 8 on my AMD rig was a chore, in its defense the A75M isnt Win8 certified/approved.My last platform was:A8-3850Asrock A75M8GB Mushkin DDR3 12800 1600MhzAMD 6570 HDMushkin 120GB SSDRosewil Redbone atx casesome 500/550 watt psuBD burnerNew rig (ne items not mentioned are carried from above):i7-4770kCorsair H80i closed loop liquid coolingAsrock Z87 Extreme 416GB Kingston hyperX Beast (2x8GB) 2133Mhz RAMMSI GeForce GTX 660 ti 3GB GDDR5This processor consistently shows about 2x the performance of AMD leading CPU/APU, of course at 2x the cost. ITS WORTH IT. Single thread apps are way faster, and this processor can out-perform an 8 core AMD CPU in multi-threaded apps.Overclocking: I was able to easily get this to 4.4Ghz stable. Some people get upto 4.7/4.8 even 5.0. I guess i got an averagish CPU. Very much luck of the drawl. Could also be MB limitations. Tried 4.6 and couldnt get it to boot. Still 25% overclock isnt bad. With corsair h80i temps at full load barely touch 70 celcius but typically temps are in the 30’s-40’s. Gaming it touches 50’s.Highly recommend. AMD is great if your an average computer user, internet, email, office. If you do any gaming, media encoding, or adobe/advanced productivity there is not an AMD cpu at this time that comes close. Ill follow up after about 6 months, i fully expect to be even happier with it by then.

Gran rendimiento y, a diferencia de otros comentarios en uso normal la temperatura del CPU con overclock a 4.5GHz es de 34º (Disipador TH Macho rev.a en una carcaza Antec P280). Cuando lo pongo en tests de rendimiento no pasa de 70º, y eso pocas veces. Tendría que elevar el reloj a 4,8 GHz para ponerle en un aprieto, cosa que no haré porque me vale perfectamente con esta velocidad.Lo tengo con el SO Mavericks, y tengo mi antigua máquina de windows en un entorno virtual con VmWare. Memoria del sistema 16GB de RAM( Corsair de bajo perfil a 1.833Mhz), tarjeta: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UDH5.

It arrived earlier than expected and it just plain works. I could have saved a few dollars buying from EBAY but the free shipping and no worries about Trump’s tariffs (if it qualifies) made the choice of buying from China an easy decision.

Histoire de ne pas répéter ce qui à déjà été dit, voici la consommation d’un PC composé de ce core i7 4770K sur carte mère Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H. 2 disques SSD en RAID 0 qui ne consomment quasiment rien. Pas de carte graphique séparée. (mesurée avec une prise wattmètre Leroy Merlin)-> idle (repos) : 55 Watts-> / navigation Internet: le pc consomme 60 à 75 W avec quelques brefs pics à 105/120 et de très très rares à 150.-> En charge @ 3,9 GHz (Turbo Boost): ca peut monter par moment à 249.-> OC @ 4,4 GHz : 350 Watts en stress avec l’outil Intel “Extreme Tuning Utility” – 69 watts en idlePour les températures: voir mon commentaire sur le ventirad be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 2:be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 2 Ventirad double tour 7 caloducs 2 ventilateurs SilentWings 135mm/120mmC’est donc une machine dépourvue de carte graphique énergivore qui me permet de faire tourner – dans un silence absolu – une dizaine de machines virtuelles simultanément sans sourciller et à la fois un pc économe pour la navigation Internet et les taches courantes. Le tout en 1920×1200 extrêmement fluide avec l’aéro de Windows 7. J’espère ne pas changer avant une dizaine d’années. Je n’ai pas testé les jeux mais cela semble possible. cf. Google.————————— Avec notamment: ——————————- 32 Go de RAM 1600- une carte mère qui exploite la puce graphique embarquée dans ce processeur- deux disques SSD HyperX en RAID 0.- une alim absolument inaudible: Bequiet! Straight Power E9-CM-480W (certifiée 80+, ce qui doit aider à baisser la conso)- un ventirad Bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 dont un ventilo à été enlevé (le 120)————————————————————————–Coté perfs, j’ai essayé l’overclocking avec un coef 43 (Gigabyte Z87X-D3H) mais je n’ai pas noté d’amélioration avec une charge de 10 machines virtuelles. Je pense que c’est surtout bon pour les benchs, les gamers, les victimes du marketing en quête de pouillèmes de mieux OU ceux qui ont besoin du plus performant pour être heureux. (du pain bénit pour les fabricants et l’industrie qui pillent la planète…) 🙂 Et la conso s’envole de 100 watts supplémentaires….. Voire un total en charge de 500 à 700 ou plus encore avec les cartes graphiques idoines qui vont généralement avec.(au passage, préférez la mise en veille prolongée ou l’arrêt complet du pc qui sont les deux seuls modes dans lesquels le pc ne consomme pas une fois éteint. La veille simple consomme quelques watts en permanence, même quand le pc vous parait éteint)

i5-4570SのLenovo ThinkCentreE73 スリムPCに乗せ換えました。(電源は既に特殊ケーブルを介して300Wに交換してあります。)際限の無いPCのバージョンアップを自制するため、昔からメーカー製のPCを買うことにしていますが、やはりバージョンアップしたい病にかかってしまいました。効果ですが、なんとなくWindwsの応答速度・反応が良くなった気がします。また、FF14イシュガルドベンチではディスク(SSD)アクセスが25secから20secに減少しました。どうせなら最上位のi7-4790Kに交換したいところですが、発熱の問題と、割高すぎるのでこちらにしました。Sofmapの星5つコンディションの中古を買いましたが、殻割りされているでもなく新品同様でした。i7-4790Kの約90%の性能、最新の第7世代i7-7700Kから比べても約75%程度の性能があるのでまだまだ余裕で使えますし、程度が良く安い中古なら買いと思います。せっかくKシリーズのため、ついでにオーバークロックできるかと思っていましたが、1150ソケットで Z87 or Z97チップセットを積んだマザーでないと基本的にオーバークロックできないことを知り、またこれらチップセットのマザーは極一部を除いて市場から消えており残っている製品は割高なようです。今後PCをバージョンアップする時には全て買い直しですね。
