Better IGP, Faster / Better Quick Sync, Some CPU Performance Improvements, BCLK Straps
Requires New Mobo / Socket, Not Much Faster Than Ivy Bridge
The Core i7-4770K's integrated Intel HD 4600 series graphics engine is clearly superior to the HD 4000 graphics in the 3770K, however. In every instance, the HD 4600 series GPU outran the HD 4000, sometimes by a large margin. Quick Sync video encoding was...

Abstract: For home theater PC (HTPC) enthusiasts, the 4 th generation Intel Core “Haswell” family of processors has been greatly anticipated. Expectations have been set both for its GPU performance, and that the long-standing issue with refresh rate accuracy will f...
Still the best singlecore performance available, Dramatically improved iGPU performance, Mobile versions offer new ultralowpower modes, At least Intel didn't change the cooler mounting points,
Only incremental CPU performance improvements over Ivy Bridge, New socket means a new motherboard is required for upgrades, Still only 16 PCIE lanes, Relatively poor overclocking
Haswell and its supporting "Lynx Point" Z87 chipset represent yet another incrementally refined iteration of Intel's mainstream CPU platform. Performance improvements at the CPU level are minor and will be unnoticeable except in benchmarks. The perfor...

Intel's latest architecture adds new features. Improved performance.
Draws slightly more power than previous designs. Less headroom for overclocking
The Intel Core i7-4770K, based on Intel's Haswell microarchitecture, is a great chip if you need an upgrade, but performance gains are modest....
From a desktop component perspective, Haswell has impressed me with the Core i7-4770K. I honestly wasn't expecting as much CPU performance increase with this release but seeing our benchmarks scale from 5-15% (sometimes higher) from the 3770K to the 4770...
Incrementally better top-end CPU performance for mainstream CPUs, Another big step up for integrated graphics performance, Unlocked for overclocking
Only slightly speedier than previous-generation counterpart, Not backward-compatible with earlier motherboards
Intel’s new top consumer CPU boosts integrated graphics a fair bit above last year’s Core i7-3770K, while ticking up slightly faster on our CPU-specific benchmarks. It’s a fine performer if you’re building or buying a new PC, though upgraders with a ...

Slightly better performance, efficiency and graphics for the same price as Ivy Bridge. New architecture is the begining of the road ahead for Intel CPUs.
With no tangible competition in the desktop realm, Intel is no longer focused on raw performance, so there's even less to see in that respect this year. New platform/socket is not welcome.
In terms of performance the upgrade to Haswell is very reminiscent of what we observed when going from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge: for the most part we saw very minor performance increases. Haswell looked most impressive in our encoding benchmarks where i...
Intel obviously refocused all their efforts on resolving the “ARM problem”. The microprocessor giant obviously doesn’t want to hand over the compact mobile devices market to the competition, therefore all their engineering forced have been directed to...
ATX (304.80 millimeters [12.00 inches] x 243.84 millimeters, [9.60 inches])
The Z87 chipset is a very capable contender as a mainstream replacement for the Z77 models. Overall there are so many things that have changed, it's very hard to mention it all. One major improvement is the full six port SATA 6Gbps capability directly fr...
