good morning Maya Homo Sapien and alien and we'll noncorporeal friends if you may be watching it's once again seven o'clock in the morning here on tech Oh tomorrow and we're here with another yet another do you believe it launched but this time it's not about graphics cards this time it's about CPUs you guys have all been waiting for it and now Intel's Haswell has finally hit the market that's right there are actually 13 different models that are hitting the market the lineup starts off with the Intel i5 4570 now this cpu is 3.2 gigahertz and it's about $200 come to the market and it goes all the way up to the new i7 47 7 r now the one that we're going to reviewing today is the new i7 4770k this is the only unlocked chip of the entire i7 line there's actually one of the i-5 that's also unlocked and we'll talk about that in a second so that's it its launch day let's jump in talk about a few of the different CPUs then jump into the test station and then finally on to the benchmarks and then let's see hey is this thing worth your money alright folks so like I said there's going to be 13 new CPUs for the desktop environment starting off with the Intel Core i5 4570 that has 4 cores 4 threads a base clock frequency of 3.2 gigahertz and a turbo speed of 3.6 gigahertz there are a total of three different varieties in this series as you can see in the charts two of the models offer no hyper threading but the i-5 45 70 T has that feature I'll beat that it has a clock speed of 2.9 gigahertz and a turbo speed of 3.6 gigahertz it also has only 4 megabytes instead of 6 megabytes of level 3 cache the i5 4570 t however is the only desktop i 5 that does have hyper threading as all the other models are seen with its absence all the 4570 models feature intel's 4600 graphics the TDP is also pretty high on these skews with the i5 4570 having a TDP of 84 watts now I'll keep talking folks and go over every single one the CPUs that are there you guys can see there's also four more i5 CPUs and then in very last we have six more of the i7 CPUs now we have the forty seven seven series in many different flavors we have the T the s the vanilla as well as the R but the CPU that we're reviewing today is the i7 4770k processor it comes unlocked it's hitting the market at about three hundred thirty-nine dollars has a total TDP of 84 watts has four cores eight threads has a base frequency of 3.5 gigahertz a turbo frequency of 3.9 it also features memory of 1333 and 1600 megahertz has eight megabytes of level 3 cache and features Intel's latest HD 4600 graphics for those of you who are wondering what we're testing with we're actually using a testbed that we were given by n when it's the X frame it's actually a pretty nice thing so we decided to go ahead and use a sis's new Maximus 6 that's right there max mixes Higa roll motherboard in combination with our new 4770k we're also using a cooler called the Heligan by the people over at silverstone we're using 16 gigabytes of Kingston's HyperX memory that we have an XMP profile set at 21 33 megahertz for our boot drive we have got a patriot wildfire 120 gigabyte SSD and for our main drive our media drive we have the Western Digital 1 terabyte now this is basically the same test assume that you guys the users chose for us to use on a video card only moved up to as well so for those people who would like more information on our test system the CPU or the chipset check out everything over on our website www.stampingmadly.com hey all right wake up ha okay well at this point after breaking up multiple days doing this stuff I could actually sleep to the benchmark so I'm gonna find it relaxing now we actually got our test kit late so we didn't really get a chance to do when you're overclocking stuff with this we'll get to that later for you folks what we did however get was a lot of good comparisons for you guys to go with so let me take off my own glasses here because actually these things work better when I'm trying to see things up close and see far away so Haswell whoo okay za7 and Haswell will you want it do you want it and why would you buy it now if you're somebody who you have technology that is Sandy Bridge or older technology then you probably definitely want to consider upgrading for a damn fact because there's all kinds of new stuff that makes it great you know what I mean power efficiency off the charts really good stuff the graphics that are on board they're a little bit better the new HD 4600 in the HD 4000 that's for damn sure now you're somebody who owns an i7 3770k though however and you're a gamer I just I can't say my right mind wild recommend to you why you need to go out and spend a $500 I mean you'd be better off buying another video card and just pumping up your game in your video thing because there's just not that much of a difference and by $500 I mean because you have to purchase both the CPU and the motherboard your LGA 1155 mother but we're no longer work you are going to have to purchase an LGA 1150 motherboard to make that new Haswell CPU have a home so you guys saw in our test bed we used the GTX 680 because we know lots of folks own that card and we saw between one and three frames per second increase between using Haswell and Ivy Bridge now I just don't feel like that's even enough reason to give an upgrade to all the great benefits that I see with has well really you're going to benefit more people in the mobile segment things like you know power efficiency I mean that's really cool but when you're plugged into your wall do you think saving you know a couple cents here and there really going to matter all that much I don't think people going to go WOW hey man check it out man upgraded as well my bill was like $1,000 less not happening you know I'm saying so but on the other hand though here's somebody who's taking that stuff on the road and you get yourself an ultrabook or something like that that would be really awesome technology because long battery life not getting hot being able to run for long periods of time hey that's very great stuff I just don't see for the desktop if you already have some is very current really needing to upgrade but if you don't learn anything at all hey I would definitely be jumping into as well with the 11:50 then jumping into the older stuff just because the new technology involved we saw that with encoding and stuff like that you actually saved a little bit of time so in that arena there's actually a lot more improvements if you're somebody does video editing you're somebody who does Photoshop and that type of stuff a lot of productivity you're going to see a lot better results with as well and those are some reasons to actually look into it so I hope you guys really enjoyed this review I apologize we didn't get you guys overclocking stuff we promised to get to that really really soon but we want to change it out to water cooler at least maybe something better we'll see what we work out but I hope you guys like this video and appreciate all of our time for stand up and do it and if so you guys know what to do I'm not even going to say it everything they also will be down in the link in the description below we have our full written review on this if you guys want to check that out make sure you do if you're not subbed and you'd like to be subbed and always see this stuff here on techno - Marlon hey make sure you hit that button see you later brothers and sisters I'm off to get some sleep
