Description

Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I54670K The Core i5-3570K was the best all-round gaming CPU. The i5-4670K is faster than the old 3570K, and only costs slightly more, so surely it’s a worthy successor? Well, yes and no. Intel has been bigging up Haswell as a major new CPU design, and you’d expect that to mean significant improvements – actual tangible benefits – but there aren’t really any to be had. There are even areas where the new chips might be worse than their predecessors. Let’s start with the CPU cores themselves. Intel has applied what sounds like a pretty decent set of tweaks and mods, including better branch prediction, bigger data-level structures, more execution ports and some new floating point extensions. But on a clock-for-clock and core-for-core basis, the new cores turn out to be only very marginally better.
