Intel Core i7-4770K Review
Power Draw and Temperatures
Published: 1st June 2013 | Source: Intel | Price: £267 |
Power Draw
Energy efficiency is the key element of the new 4th Generation Intels, and it certainly performs well, especially under loading. With just the CPU the power draw is similar, but a 60W reduction with the whole system loaded is a big saving.
Temperatures
At stock there isn't much between them as they're both based on a 22nm process. However, 3°C could make all the difference with our overclocking.

well Haswell is not as dire as i thought it was gonna be, but from what ive seen and what i do with my rig, im better of sticking with my 3770K and and those wanting to upgrade from Sandy would benefit moreQuote

Not worth the upgrade then if you are already running SB or IB 
I really wanted to upgrade but it's not worth the money or hassle to go from my 2500K to Haswell.
My last upgrade was from a Q6600 to my 2500K, and that was a huge! I'm not expecting my next upgrade to be as big as that was, but there is not enough real world difference to go from my 2500K to Haswell.
Haswell would be a good upgrade from an old AMD setup or an Intel 775 or 1366 setup though.Quote
