Intel's next generation processors code named Haswell are just round the corner. Haswell brings architectural enhancements to this year's Ivy Bridge processors, which debuted on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process featuring Tri-Gate (3D) transistors with enhanced power efficiency, better heat dissipation and lower operating voltage requirements due to lesser leakage. Haswell has a new focus. Intel is aiming for extremely low power consuming processors using this architecture, as well as to speed up Intel HD graphics and beat competition (rather than keep trailing it, as it has been doing since the dawn of dinosaurs now). Fresh details have leaked, giving us the entire Haswell desktop CPU line up. Pricing will more or less remain the same as it's Ivy Bridge counterparts.
Intel Haswell Desktop Lineup


The Intel Haswell line up has two unlocked processors. These "K" denoted processors are for those who wish to push their processor to the limit (read, over clocking). These are the Core i7-4770K and the Core i5-4670K. The former packs 4 cores and 8 threads (courtesy Hyper threading) as well as a base clock of 3.5 GHz and Turbo to 3.9 GHz while the latter misses some features such as Hyper Threading, lesser L3 cache (6 MB instead of 8 MB) and reduced clock speeds (3.4 GHz base to 3.8 GHz Turbo).



In addition, there will be a series of low power chips. Intel will be introducing a 35W TDP desktop processor with full 8 MB of L3 cache, 4 core and 8 threads (HT). In addition, there is a 65W TDP chip, as well as a 45W TDP chip with similar specifications (clock speeds and turbo are the varying factors). Needless to say, these chips will cost much more than their standard TDP counterparts.
