Fuchur Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Typically very-wordy reviews by tech sites... http://www.techspot.com/review/679-intel-h...-core-i7-4770k/ http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/displ...k_12.html#sect0 It seems top be incremental improvements in certain regards but mostly about better built-in graphics, which are probably still not adequate for our 3D applications. i7 4770K is the try of Intel to have a product which can compete with APUs from AMD (like the AMD A10-5800K which offers a much better built-in graphic) and ARMs for the mobile-market. It is not about CPU-power but much more about GPU, but they are still lacking behind AMDs APUs with their built-in graphic power. They were horrible slow compared with APUs regarding the graphic card before and the newest seems to be a little better, but still not that fast. On the other hand: CPU-power is a little higher with Intel's CPUs. These processor-types (especially APUs) are very well suited for systems on budget (simply because you do not need a graphiccard for 100 Euros (the inbuilt-one is worth about that money) and you can use a direct communication between CPU and GPU (APU = CPU + GPU on one chip) and will often have a lower power consumption. (because of that AMD's APUs are used in the new Playstation 4 and XBox One) None of these (C/A)PUs will give a very high performance for rendering (since an expensive CPU and an expensive GPU will always outperform these budget once) but it is in general much faster than built-in graphiccards before (like the once built in on the mainboards).

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted June 3, 2013 quote from the second review above... After a very long and anxious wait we can finally take a close look at one of the fourth generation Core processors for desktops, which is based on the new Haswell microarchitecture. Significantly higher performance, better energy-efficiency, excellent overclocking – all this isn’t the case. What happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted June 6, 2013 $279.99 at microcenter (in person only) For that price that looks like a decent value that would edge out other candidates. The built-in graphics would be adequate for a render box if that's what you were using it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The built-in graphics would be adequate for a render box if that's what you were using it for. Depends highly on what you want to do: - For games the new AMD A10-6800K is up to 35% faster. (because the graphiccard is just much better) - CPU-wise, i7 4770K is (much) better. For A:M i7 4770k can be great because it has a good performance single-threaded and a good one multi-threaded too... so if you alreay have an i7 or an AMD FX 8350 you do not need to get one of these... Both AMDs the a10-6800k for gaming and the AMD FX 8350 for rendering are less expensive... See you *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
