Intel Haswell i4770K Review And Benchmarks

Updated: June 1, 2013

Intel i7-4770K Performance

Performance in some areas shows really nice improvement while in others it is really not much of a performance gain over earlier releases. For the enthusiast gamer Haswell’s i7-4770K shows only nominal performance improvements with a 1-4 FPS higher score than Ivy Bridge. For doing tasks like editing either video or photos or encoding the new i7-4770K shows solid performance improvements, OpenCL also shows gains and the CPU handles itself nicely under pressure due to its great power management that was seen throughout the entire testing phase of the review. The i7-4770K is a small bump in the overall performance spectrum, but shows Intel making strides in new areas other than just sheer speed.

Could you please test more casual games on the HD 4600 such as Half-Life 2 coast benchmark / Counter-Strike Source benchmark?
- doktor mystery
  
  most systems today max out the benchmark so what would be the point
peter

but whats the overclocking potential of 4770k vs 3770k ?

  Read recent articles.

i dont think so its good seriously if we compare corei7 3770k oc vs 4770k oc there would be only 5-10% of difference btw new box looks soo gross,but i am pretty impess with there graphics

AMD Richland APU’s graphics performance will still leave the HD4600 in the dust.

  Intel will still dominate with cpu power though.
  - Renz Hernandez
    
    And their Iris Pro graphics for BGA/ Mobile platforms will kill the APU
    - Eric Zaba
      
      no, becuase the reason why intel hd 4600 is only higher end models of the cpu is becuase the gpus use alot of power…………..also when hd 9000 series rolls around with a giant gpu core redisign it would be near impossible for intel to catch up to amd. i do agree with the fact that intel is taking major steps forward in making their graphics better, and if they can get another 50% increase it might be almost as good as amd graphics

        Unless you want to use nitrogen to cool the AMD anything… it wont touch intel or Nvidia on overclocking and AMD will never have cuda that will blow the doors off anything out there with the right software in computational power.
        So if ya want to play with low rent slumloards BUY AMD.
        If you want real horse power buy Intel and Nvidia.

How would the new 4600 graphics run Minecraft? I know this seems a bit of a silly question.

Thanks

I read the review on another forum before you had yours online and its seem all the same. Good review though.

Meaningless if you have anything newer than Nehalem. My sandy investment years ago was the best possible time to buy. I am incredibly happy.

Not worth the upgrade from a 3770K.
Sean Patrick DeMarco

Uh no way am I going to upgrade from Sandy i5 2500k for this.
Babatunde Omodayo

If you already own a previous sandy bridge or ivy bridge and you plan on gaming predominantly then keep your previous generation CPUs, this doesn’t warrant the upgrade as they very very similar.
