In other news, am I the only one to realize that Tom's has mistaken the FX-4130 as a Piledriver CPU when it infact is a Bulldozer CPU?
Yea, I noticed that too.
Also, Haswell improvements over the Bridge series:
(Ignore the [x])
Features carried over from Ivy Bridge
A 22 nm manufacturing process.
3D tri-gate transistors.
A 14-stage pipeline (since the Core microarchitecture).[9]
Mainstream up to quad-core.[10]
Native support for dual channel DDR3.[11]
64 KB (32 KB Instruction + 32 KB Data) L1 cache and 256 KB L2 cache per core.[12]
Confirmed new features[edit source | editbeta]
Wider Core: 4th ALU, 3rd AGU, 2nd Branch prediction unit, deeper buffers, higher cache bandwidth, improved front-end.
Haswell New Instructions (HNI, includes Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2), gather, BMI1, BMI2, and FMA3 support).[13]
New sockets – LGA 1150 for desktops and rPGA947 & BGA1364 for the mobile market.[14]
New socket – LGA 2011-3 for the Enthusiast-Class Desktop Platform Haswell-E.[15]
Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX).[16]
Graphics support in hardware for Direct3D 11.1 and OpenGL 4.0.[17]
DDR4 for the enterprise/server variant (Haswell-EX).[18]
DDR4 for the Enthusiast-Class Desktop Platform Haswell-E.[19]
Variable Base clock (BClk)[20] like LGA 2011.[21]
Fully integrated voltage regulator, thereby moving a component from the motherboard onto the CPU.[22]
New advanced power-saving system.
37, 47, 57 W thermal design power (TDP) mobile processors.[10]
35, 45, 65, 84, 95 and 130-140w (high-end, Haswell-E) TDP desktop processors.[10]
15 W TDP processors for the Ultrabook platform (multi-chip package like Westmere)[23] leading to reduced heat which results in thinner as well as lighter Ultrabooks, but performance level will be lower than the 17W version.[24]
Shrink PCH[25] from 65 nm to 32 nm.
Performance
Compared to Ivy Bridge:
Approximately 8% better vector processing performance.[8]
up to 6% faster single-threaded performance.
6% faster multi-threaded performance.
Haswell draws around 8% more power under load than Ivy Bridge.[8]
A 6% increase in sequential CPU performance (eight execution ports per core versus six).[8]
Up to 20% performance increase over the integrated HD4000 GPU (Haswell HD4600 vs Ivy Bridge's built-in Intel HD4000).[8]
Total performance improvement on average is about 3%[8]
