Haswell looks like the biggest disappoint ever!
And one (Xbit labs) that said they will be:Anand said:The BCLK adjustment gives you a little more flexibility when overclocking, but you still need a K-SKU to take advantage of the options.
HotHardware also indicates there might be a fourth divider that does 250%.It also means that even LGA1150 CPUs with locked multiplier can be overclocked, but only by 25% or 66% above the default frequency.
Do you have a source?

Big differences to A10-4600M.
I'm pretty sure the guys that are saying that it's unlocked on non-K models are misinformed. XBitLabs isn't exactly the pinnacle of hardware journalism, either.And one (Xbit labs) that said they will be:HotHardware also indicates there might be a fourth divider that does 250%.
Performance comes at a premium. It's not exactly a secret.
Yeah, you're right. Those AMD processors sure are underwhelming.The only thing it's lacking is performance then.

Yeah about $300 on the chip alone. D:
Not sure what you really mean by "lacking in performance". Are you talking about cpu or igpu performance?
Anyway, technically I would not say it is "lacking in performance", since in nearly every application it is the fastest mainstream processor. I am actually fairly satisfied with the ipc increases, just wish they would have increased clocks or added a hex core.
I think the days of large IPC increases, especially for intel, which is very efficient already, are over. They need to add more cores or increase clockspeed in spite of the extra power it would use.
Now why exactly are these parts consuming more than IvyBridge? Only because of the integrated voltage regulators?

This baffles me, you do gain some performance over Ivy, but it's no way more efficient. I really hoped otherwise considering all the hype that Ivy was built on a non-optimized 22nm process and Haswell will rock on a greatly improved one.
This is a strange release, I'm not convinced until I see the numbers for the mobile platform with regards to battery life. Right now, these parts are less efficient than the previous ones:

Actually, I think Core can trace its ancestry back through the Pentium M, the PII/III, and back to the Pentium Pro. I don't really expect Intel to introduce another high-performance architecture unless AMD shocks everyone again. After all, Intel's last new architecture was Atom.I agree. I wouldn't expect any kind of major increase in IPC from Intel until a brand new architecture is introduced. Haswell is, after all, a continuation of the Core lineup. Anand's page on the five generations of CPUs compared is a very interesting look at the performance evolution of the Core architecture. As we all can see, some of the early performance gains are clock speed based, but I'd really love to see an article detailing the IPC evolution from Core 2 to Haswell.

I love AMD, but man, they get pretty beat up in a lot of these performance benchmarks. Even if Steamroller is a modest 20% IPC improvement, they still have a long, long ways to go to catch up to Intel.
Need bottom line answer to :
1) Whether non-K SKUs will support BCLK OCing (wording in AT review is a little vague)
2) Whether K SKUs will have TSX

Interesting observation though. If we reduced the 4770k to a 77w TDP like the 3770k, how would it perform?
