Intel Core i7-4770K "Haswell" Tested, Not a Leap Ahead of i7-3770K, But Consistent
Intel's upcoming performance desktop processor Core i7-4770K, based on its next-generation "Haswell" micro-architecture, got its first formal performance preview by Tom's Hardware, which compared it to its two predecessors, the Core i7-3770K "Ivy Bridge" and Core i7-2700K "Sandy Bridge." The three were put through a battery of synthetic and real-world tests, including SiSoft SANDRA, real-world media transcoders, MSVS code compilation, and 3DSMax 2012.
In some tests, the i7-4770K offers as much of a performance upgrade over the i7-3770K, as it does over the i7-2700K, in others, it's less than linear. In its conclusion, Tom's Hardware notes that it found the i7-4770K on average, 7 to 13 percent faster than the i7-3770K in today's multi-threaded workloads, which is roughly consistent with what the i7-3770K offered over its predecessor, the i7-2700K. Find the entire preview in the source link below. Intel's Core "Haswell" line of desktop processors are expected to launch in June, 2013.

Dont get sidelined by the arm comment I mentioned them as imho they are intels r and d focus nemisis not amd for eg
The 960t replaced a Q6600 and was a usable valid upgrade path since moneys tight yet I wanted 4x pciex my options we're amd but im not biased
Intel has been developing the x86-64 designed processors since the 80's. If my math is correct, that's 30+ years to get the designs correct. They've had time to learn how to boost power efficiency, increase operational frequency, and they've got a development budget that makes some nations look poor comparatively.
ARM is an initiative by multiple entities that takes the less utilized RISC instruction set and agreed upon standards to make low power consumption chips. Let's agree with that 20th revision ARM processor assumption. If Intel only had 3 processor revisions during R&D every year, you're looking at 90th+ generation of Intel x86-64 processor. Intel is ARM's senior by enough revisions to consider the two entities entirely separate of one another.
Back on topic. 4770~=3770 isn't something new. Intel is focusing on mobile platforms (socket 2011 being the first casualty, but 1155 not lagging too far behind), and allowing higher performing segments to languish. It's not a surprise to anyone who's been around in the past three years.
Intel is trying to squash ARM. It's trying to prevent the APU from claiming any ground. Intel is finding itself in a unique position where two competitors have had a lead into the market they want to be in. AMD has graphics, ARM has power efficiency, and Intel is closing the gap. I know that it isn't what power users want to hear, but at least the mobile computing market isn't stagnating.
Anyway, anyone know if Haswell Pentiums or at least i3s will have PCI-Express 3.0?
