Ok, so actually what is the performance gain once programs start taking advantage of the new instructions Haswell brings?
I am aware it's a broad question to ask, but let's say we limit ourselves to
- rendering
- image processing software (Photoshop)
- cryptography
- video encoding
Are there any resources, figures, on the web about it? I couldn't find much.
This is not purely academic, I am trying to figure out whether to take the jump to a second hand Ivy/Sandy Bridge or wait and buy a Haswell. And given the leaked performance delta up until now I'd go with Ivy so it's up to the new instructions sets.
Thanks!
