    Re: Haswell Refresh

    Many models of new motherboards with the Z97 chipset have been released today. AnandTech did a review of 3 Haswell refresh chips, the i7-4790, i5-4690 and i3-4360: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7963/t...i3-4360-tested

    Nothing special over regular Haswell, but these boards are supposed to be compatible with Broadwell, so at least there's an upgrade path. All regular Haswell CPUs are compatible with the new Z97 chipset.

    Sweet. Overlooking all the Crazy CPU Overclocking features, I really like the OC Ignition, which actually doesn't directly impact OC but can be very useful.
    ....OC Ignition also allows users to pre-test water cooling setups, and allows case mod demonstrations without having to turn on the PC.

    I5-4690K and i7-4790K most likely launching in June still. Next month Still no word on pricing but expect the 4790K to cost a bit more than the 4770K does. Intel is still staying true to what they said about improving the heatspreader and thermal interface material (TIM) on the 4690K and 4790K. Other than that, the 4690K is nothing special, just a 100 MHz increase in clock speeds. But the 4790K is expected to have a base clock of 4 GHz and turbo up to 4.4 GHz.

    Re: Haswell Refresh

    Okay, according to Wikipedia, release prices were as follows

    Core i7-960 = $562
    Core i7-2700K = $332
    Core i7-3770K = $313
    Core i7-4770K = $339

    I know this may not be a true "Apples to Apples" comparison but would a guess for the 4790K release price of $350~$375 seem reasonable? Or would Intel's current market dominance allow for a higher target?

    Edit: Just noticed that MicroCenter (in-store only) price for the 4770K is $269.99. I wonder how long it will take them to offer a similar in-store discount for the 4790K...

    Yeah $375 seems reasonable, but I'm sure there might be a hefty premium for a 500 mhz speed increase, plus the improved TIM plus it's Intel's first CPU at 4ghz. We shall see

    You were close! Looks like Intel decided on $362 for Devil's Canyon. Info is here.

    @ DrPop glad they didn't add a nostalgia fee to it
