"The business end of Intel's 4th generation Core desktop processor family, Core i3 and Pentium Dual-Core, are dressing up for work. Intel reportedly gave final touches to retail pricing of at least three new Core i3 parts, a mid-range Core i5 part, a high-end Core i7 part, and three Pentium ones. Intel's Core i3 "Haswell" desktop processor lineup begins with the Core i3-4130 dual-core processor, featuring 3.40 GHz clock speed, no Turbo Boost, HyperThreading, and 3 MB of shared L3 cache, priced at US $136.85. It is followed by the Core i3-4330, which ups clock speed to 3.50 GHz, shared L3 cache to 4 MB; and a $154.75 price-tag. The Core i3 "Haswell" family is led by the Core i3-4340, with its 3.60 GHz clock speed, and 4 MB of L3 cache.

Intel also plans a mid-range quad-core Core i5 part, the i5-4440, which features 3.10 GHz clocks, 3.40 GHz Turbo Boost, no HyperThreading, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. It is priced at $197.26. Intel also rectified its high-end Core i7 lineup with the new Core i7-4771, which features 3.50 GHz clocks, 3.90 GHz Turbo Boost, HyperThreading, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. This part, as reported earlier, is designed to displace the Core i7-4770 (non-K), and is priced at $333.77 a piece.

Intel's entry-level Pentium dual-core lineup includes three new parts built on the 22 nm silicon fab process, beginning with the Pentium G3220, which features two cores clocked at 3.00 GHz, no Turbo Boost, no HyperThreading, and 3 MB of shared L3 cache; it commands a $70.61 price-tag. Next up, is the Pentium G3420, with its 3.20 GHz clock speed, and $90.18 price-tag. The series is lead by Pentium G3430, with its 3.30 GHz clocks, and $100.26 price-tag. It's interesting to see Intel give most Core i3 dual-core parts 4 MB of L3 cache (conventionally 3 MB on the previous two generations), and 3 MB of L3 cache on the Pentium dual-core parts (typically 2 MB on previous generations)."

So, the important question - what instruction sets do the Pentium and i3 parts support? If the Pentium chips don't support AVX, or AVX2, then what is the reason to purchase them over cheaper IB parts? Simply socket 1150 compatibility? (I admit, six SATA6G ports is fairly compelling for the platform, but here, Intel is only finally catching up (almost) with AMD.)
 
I am interested about 2 things.

1. What about Celerons?

2. What are other specs beside clock of "HD" GPU in Pentiums (and Celerons in there will be ones based on Haswell core) ?
 
100Mhz higher for the top bin. Faster IGP, higher IPC.

Not same performance at all.

Yeah, I missed the IGP boost- that's going to make a pretty big difference in midrange builds. (As in builds for the family.) Good on Intel for phasing out GT1.

CPU performance though? Meh, not enough to notice 😛

Well, at least they increased clockspeed on something. Too bad they didn't do it for the haswell quads. Nice increase in igp, but who cares really.

The problem is price. They did not give the price of the 3.6ghz model, but it must be very close to a low end i5. Too bad they didn't price it around 120.00. At that price, with the improved igp, higher ipc, and faster clocks, it would compete nicely with Richland. At the suggested price, I would just get an i5.
 
I was thinking the i3 4130 would be around $120, i3 4330 around $140 and i3 4340 around $160, with the highest Pentium around $100, and then the lowest quad i5 around $180. This would fill in all the price points nicely. The i3s look to be priced a little too high.
 
Intel please please give us an Iris powered desktop part. I would be all over that 🙂
Higher IPC + better iGP = better performing parts.
The only question i have is power consumption, operating temperatures, lower, same or higher???

Aren't Pentiums the new Celeron aka low end? I'm sure I read somewhere that there won't be any Haswell Celerons.

In case the document is up to date and plans of Intel’s are not going to change, then on September 1, 2013, the world’s largest chipmaker will introduce Core i7-4771, Core i5-4440, Core i5-4440S, Core i3-4340, Core i3-4330, Core i3-4330T, Core i3-4130, Core i3-4130T, Pentium G3430, Pentium G3420, Pentium G3220, Pentium G3420T as well as Pentium G3220T based on Haswell micro-architecture. The company will also add new Core i5-3340, Core i5-3340S, Celeron G1630, Celeron G1620 and Celeron G1620T based on Ivy Bridge micro-architecture.

Their high end models for quads and duals should really come with iris.

A $160 core i3 is expensive unless it has iris. The lowest i5 is $180. Even the lowest bin i3 is fairly high; I would've expected $120.
