Haswell Processor resolution: High performance and low power consumption

In 2013 we will welcome the Haswell Processor series of the 22 NM update architecture, as indicated by the Intel "Tick,tock" program. With Intel's previous practice, Haswell will enhance performance over Ivy Bridge, whether from CPU or core graphics. If there is no accident, we will see the Haswell processor uncover in the first quarter of next year. According to the rumors news, Haswell will have different positioning in the desktop and mobile markets for the needs of different user groups.

Haswell Location Analysis

Desktop-level market: the main hit high-end

As with the Ivy Bridge processor listing order, the first release will still be the core I5/I7 processor, which is available for sale in the first quarter of 2013. As can be seen from here, Intel is still focused on the high-end market. But in the flagship processor market for locating enthusiasts, the Sandy BRIDGE-E architecture will run throughout 2012, until the Haswell architecture is released for 2013 years. As you can see, Intel will spare no effort to promote Haswell processors in the high-end market, but Sandy Bridge-e will go further in the flagship market.

Haswell in the high-end market

In the low-end market, Intel has made it clear that Haswell will not release the low-end core i3 processor for the time being, which is the same as the product strategy when Ivy Bridge is on sale. As for the entry-level market, it is still the world of the Pentium Bridge architecture, and will not produce entry-level Haswell processors.

The low-end market is still sandy bridge.

Haswell Architecture Desktop-level processors continue to use the 22nm process, so the power consumption after adding the transistor circuit has not decreased, but reached the level of 95W. The low power design is discarded in the desktop processor, which can effectively guarantee the performance improvement. Moreover, the VR voltage regulator is integrated into the processor, which will have higher power efficiency, and also ensure the improvement of overclocking performance.
