When a game at 1680x1050 shows no difference between the eight tested processors ranging from the old bulldozer to haswell refresh then they need to look for an alternative game to benchmark.

it's a good indication of how much they care about what they are doing....

as for the new i7... Haswell is Haswell, no difference... whatever, only a few strange results like L1 cache test and adobe lightroom

Why more than 1-2 tech sites would waste their time benchmarking a non-K chip that is effectively already on the market if it is not a new stepping, is beyond me.

Fully agree. Looks like Haswell-E is my next upgrade

Yep, they should at least include more res settings

The Cinebench 11.5 results are not consistent with what we've been seeing here.

Their benchmarks look weird to say the least. Never have I seen the 4770k losing to the 3770k in CB 11.5.

Lightroom is not an architecture change causing the problem as the 4930 beats the 3930.

Take with a grain of salt. Most likely its a turbo/throttle problem on the 4770k

This is something like Apple would do with the iPhone 5 to the 5c 5s... and for those looking for an upgrade, sorry to you. And for those of us who are content with our current hardware these benches are always nice to read, haha

Just a speed bump move along
