March 20, 201313 yr (snip) If the pre-release benchmark results are correct and Haswell is regressing memory and single-thread performance, it will need to be a monster overclocker to out-perform my current chip at 4.9GHz in FSX. This caught my attention as well. I was waiting on Haswell for my next upgrade, but it looks like IB to Haswell might be a repeat of the 1156 Lynnfield to Clarkdale scenario (as in crippled memory and so so IPC in trade for on chip graphics and TDP). Maybe a 3770K is in my immanent future instead.
