Finally found it, and for crunching purposes, it doesn't look like a good upgrade if you've got an i7 2600K Sandy Bridge or newer. Just O/C it and save your pennies.
Those of us stuck with the older AMD AM3+ or pre i7 Intel motherboards...well, I'm just not sure what is the best way to go at the moment. EDIT: Looked at many reviews, and one thing is certain: the SB/IB/Haswell is incredibly efficient compared to AMD X6/FX series, and even considerably more efficent than the SB-e. The power cost on a 24/7 cruncher may prove to be the key metric over the life time of the rig.
Quote from the article: "As you might note, we aren't looking at any spectacular improvement of Haswell Core i7-4770K over Core i7-3770 Ivy Bridge. At best, the benchmarks are under 5% average improvement over last years architecture. At 4 GHz clock-to-clock comparison, the performance difference diminishes even more "
