Intel haswell i7-4770K preview article-TMSHW

[nossy23]

ivy was around 10% faster than sb, so i'm guessing haswell will be roughly around 15% to 20% faster than sb.

I really was under the impression that Ivy was only about 5% faster than SB in most benchmarks. See for example here:

(this shows it's even only around 3.7% faster on average, and I know the base clock for the 2700K is 100 Mhz higher, but I would think under load both CPU's would be at about the same Ghz)

At the same clocks you can look here:

The speed improvements are very low, far removed from 10%, for the most part going from Sandy to Ivy.


And I expect the same kind of clock for clock improvement going from Ivy to Haswell. So that would be around 10% from Sandy to Haswell if all goes well. Of course for a limited number of things the new CPU can be a lot faster.
