Are these benchmarks trustworthy? Who is doing them? What is their track record?
Will wait for full set of benchmarks from a reliable site. Who knows what this means. Not that I am expecting anything great, but benchmarks on real shipping silicon should be out in a few weeks.
Turbo is working. Check OCed 4770K @4.5Ghz results, that's fixed OC clock. The difference between OC 4770K and stock one mirrors the difference between 3.8-3.9Ghz and 4.5Ghz . Stock Haswell runs at 3.8-3.9Ghz clock in most of those workloads (even MTed ones).Low Cinebench score. Maybe CPU Turbo didn't work?

the 4570 there shows only 3.2ghz verse 3570 is 3.4ghz , not sure whats up with that .
the 4770 seems right (same as 3770)
Well read what I wrote. You can actually see that Turbo is working by comparing the 4.5Ghz results and stock ones. The performance delta is equal or very close to the difference between 4.5Ghz and 3.8-3.9Ghz clock (the stock range Haswell runs at in most workloads).
0.88V @ 3.9GHz?
I might just get one of these to check out the new premium motherboards they have. Unless I need AVX2 this seems like a sidegrade to my 3770k. That chip is really scratched above so I wouldn't base CPU temps on that if there were any. lol
this seems like a sidegrade to my 3770k
Remind me, does Z87 bring anything new to the table? SATA express perhaps? Of course this is a moot point since a new motherboard is required for Haswell anyway, but i'm just curious.
There is no Cinebench 11.5 4.5 Ghz result. How do you compare?
The only other multithreaded Benchmark result from the 4.5 Ghz Haswell is Fritzchess. The score is 21,3% over i7-4770k default. That doesn't make sense. Multithread Turbo from i7-4770k is 3,9 Ghz, means 4.5 Ghz clocks 15,4% higher. 21,3% higher score while clocked only 15,4% higher (assuming the multithread Turbo worked on Haswell) does not make sense to me. And also I don't believe Haswell is slower in Cinebench and Fritzchess.
0.88V @ 3.9GHz?
MTed Turbo is not guaranteed to be 3.9GHz. That is maximum Turbo clock.
6 SATA6, 2 more USB3, fast UEFI boot, SFDP, quad read SPI.
Yeah, its not a big step like Z77 was. Quad SPI could be nice I guess - make flashing a bit faster
Rumors have SATA Express slated for a hypothetical Z97 , right?
I'm well familiar with intel CPUs. MTed Turbo is not guaranteed by intel spec to be always at 3.9Ghz (in case of Haswell or 3770K).It seems you are not familiar with Intel CPUs. Multithread Turbo is always active on Intel desktop CPUs especially on such short non demanding CPU Benchmarks like Cinebench or Fritzchess. And some Z77 Boards use an even higher frequency @default. 3dmark11 is a bad CPU test, SuperPi 1M is too short. Only Fritzchess and Cinebench are meaningful. The slower Fritzchess result doesn't make sense. The pre-release non-professional testers are really pathetic nowadays. They should disable the turbo and should make sure the CPU runs at base frequency all the time. They can't handle the CPU Turbo or auto overlock features by some Z77 boards properly.
