Haswell-processors Pricing Available
Although Haswell processors will be released in June, there's pretty much nothing left that has not been leaked, including photo's, benchmarks, specifications, new technology .. and now the prices as well. The flagship Haswell model, Core i7-4770K with unlocked multiplier, was already spotted this week in some stores in Europe. The Haswell processor can be also pre-ordered from several online stores in US. What's more, the stores list a handful of other Haswell SKUs, including i5-4670K.
PCSuperStore currently has Core i5-4430, i5-4570, i5-4570S, i5-4670, i5-4670K, i7-4770, i7-4770K and i7-4770S on pre-order, with prices ranging from $197 to $368.
The table below shows how these prices stack up against prices of Ivy Bridge products from the same store:
| Ivy Bridge model | Current price | Haswell Model | Box part number | Pre-order price | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core i5-3330 | $197.37 | Core i5-4430 | BX80646I54430 | $197.86 | 0% |
| Core i5-3470 | $205.23 | Core i5-4570 | BX80646I54570 | $213.69 | +4% |
| Core i5-3470S | $195.59 | Core i5-4570S | BX80646I54570S | $205.78 | +5% |
| Core i5-3570 | $210 | Core i5-4670 | BX80646I54670 | $236.30 | +13% |
| Core i5-3570K | $234.18 | Core i5-4670K | BX80646I54670K | $256.65 | +10% |
| Core i7-3770 | $302.85 | Core i7-4770 | BX80646I74770 | $328.67 | +9% |
| Core i7-3770K | $339.86 | Core i7-4770K | BX80646I74770K | $368.07 | +8% |
| Core i7-3770S | $302.74 | Core i7-4770S | BX80646I74770S | $320.80 | +6% |
With one exception, all Haswell microprocessors are currently 4% - 13% more expensive than Ivy Bridge counterparts. Pre-order prices tend to drop a bit when it gets closer to launch, but at this point it is impossible to tell whether they will drop to Ivy Bridge level, or will be a few percent higher reports cpuworld.

So it looks like Intel is attempting to not drop the prices of the old processors and are instead just jacking up the prices of the new ones. Go figure. Hurray for monopolies. We always get extra jacked up prices here, so $380 for the 4770K is likely, almost $430 after taxes. Yeah, I'm not too crazy about that price.

Looks like the 4770K will be about £285, including 20% VAT, here in the UK which is absolutely fine by me. I'll obviously need a new motherboard and CPU cooler too plus I'll add 16 GB of RAM seeing as it is so cheap anyway.

I'm torn between getting a Core i5-4430 or buying a Vishera 8320/Next gen CPU from AMD and some 4/6 GB DDR 3 1600 or 1866.
Upgrading from a Q9550 on 4GB DDR3 1000, how much improvement should I expect?

The problem wasn't the paste, it was the gunk that keeps the IHS on.
Do we know what kind of TIM Intel is planning on using, cheap paste vs. fluxless solder?
