Intels Haswell processors succeeded the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge micro-architectures and, since then, have paved the way for Broadwell and Skylake micro-architectures. Haswell processors were announced in 2013 and subsequently launched globally. Haswell CPUs were primarily designed to improve the performance and power savings features of processors working with Intel 8-Series and 9-Series chipsets. Haswell CPUs are compatible withmotherboards that have Intels Socket LGA 1150.
Haswell Vs Ivy Bridge
Every time Intel releases a new micro-architecture, naturally it is always compared with its preceding version and in this case, Haswell is pitted against Ivy Bridge. Compared to Ivy Bridge processors, Haswell processors have as much as 8% higher vector processing performance, single threaded performance has increased by as much as 6% and so has multi-threaded performance. Sequential CPU performance too has increased by 6%. The average improvement in performance of Haswell processors as compared to Ivy Bridge is around 3%.
There are many features of Ivy Bridge that have been brought forward to Haswell processors. It still features a 22nm manufacturing process, 3D tri-gate transistors, micro-operation cache with storage for 1.5 K micro-operations, 14- to 19-stage instruction pipeline, dual-channel DDR3 memory,and 16 PCI Express 3.0 lanes among others.
There are certain new features in Haswell comparable to Ivy Bridge. Haswell processors come with a larger core with a fourth arithmetic logic unit, second brand prediction unit, third address generation unit, higher cache bandwidth, deeper buffers,and better memory controllers.
Full List of Haswell Processors
If you are looking for a processor capable of playing the latest games at maximum settings, you could do worse than a Haswell chip. Overclocking is possible up to 4.7GHz, although it will be much more stable at around 4.4GHz.
