One thing Intel could do is sell unlocked multiplier dual core chips.
Add $15 premium to Pentium or i3 and I would definitely consider buying.
Or intel could stop being a greedy buttface and make all of their procs unlocked like AMD.

Remember how everyone was saying those roadmaps were "fake"? Well Olivon just posted this link on XS:

Looks like model numbers were correct after all. Launch is according to the above slides on June the 2nd.

Or Intel could just become a non-profit company, the antithesis of a greedy buttface, and sell ALL their chips "at cost" and put the counterfeiters out of businessOr intel could stop being a greedy buttface and make all of their procs unlocked like AMD.
And history shows we would suffer from counterfeits again. Thats why unlocked needs to be the highest bin.

Maybe one day UNICEF will get into the x86 CPU business...until then, Intel is the company to see
I'll wait for the benchmarks, but none of this is surprising.
Based on the info in this thread can people reasonably infer what the CPU improvement will be between, say, the 3770k and Haswell 4770k?

Any scalar code should easily be converted to AVX2 for twice the speed.
Why would scalar code benefit from wider vectors?
(Also, not a single game or application to date has shipped with AVX2, so that "legacy" category is going to be "the majority of programs you run for the next several years" )
Yep if we are lucky AVX2 will be supported in 2015 as AVX is today .
That's the same website as all the other rumours in this thread, Chinese VR Zone. I'm still treating it as suspect until I see confirmation from other sources.
AVX2 is vector instructions of the current scalar. Plus added gather support that also replaces 17 old instructions. And its very easy to convert current scalar code for AVX2. AVX1 code that we got today will also benefit greatly.

There's already definite gains to faster memory on Trinity- it's graphics performance will scale with memory bandwidth as far as DDR3-2133, whereas IB's graphics seems bandwidth saturated at ~DDR3-1600.
Is that in the integrated gpu?
I have sandy bridge system with crossfire AMD 7950, I guess I would not see that big improvement going from 1333mhz to 1600mhz?
However, high end overclocking features that allow greater BCLK tuning and which currently only appear in the top end, pricey SB-E LGA 2011 platform will be present in the mainstream Haswell desktop and laptop parts too. Significantly, the BCLK coarse ratio adjustments of 1.00, 1.25 and 1.67 which allow BCLK to change without unwanted overclocking of those SATA ports and other components, will feature in the new Haswell mainstream parts. This will help with clock speed granularity, since simply adjusting the multipliers along with limited BCLK as happens now on Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs leads to large clock speed jumps, preventing optimum fine tuning of system performance.

Seems like desktop computers won't be getting GT3 :|
Broadwell looks very promising.
