When building a new computer, price is often the factor that dictates which components you buy. Setting a budget is usually the easy part while picking the right hardware to meet that cap is the real challenge, especially with gaming systems as both the C...

Desktop users who run computations-heavy applications are always glad to see faster processors but Intel's latest CPUs have only provided a performance gain of 5 to 10% with each new generation which was ensured by minor microarchitecture optimizations. T...

With the clock speed change, the package is also adjusted in two distinct ways. The first is to add extra decoupling capacitors on the PCB, allowing the voltage regulator on the die to deliver cleaner power to where it needs to go. The second addresses th...

The Haswell Refresh brand covers ordinary enough processors that don’t have anything new to offer to the public. Intel didn't do any engineering work with them, so the consumer properties of the new LGA1150 CPUs are the same as before including the nu...

As it has already been pointed out a few times in this article, there's not really much new to see here; mighty Intel has done a minor update on their existing processor lineup by adding in most cases a single multiplier; this allows the new Haswell r...

As expected, the Core i7-4790 CPU that we had beats the i7-4770K in each of the CPU benchmarks by a consistent margin due to the CPU frequency increase. In a similar vein, the IGP of the i7-4790 trails that of the i7-4770K due to the 50 MHz deficit on the...
