Most sources suggest that the performance difference between ivy bridge and haswell isn't going to be a lot.. somewhere around 7-8%.... But yeah maybe Intel will fix the overheating problem with haswell that happens in ivy bridge when overclocking with increased voltages.. So if you plan to OC hardcore.. wait for haswell.. else go for the 3770K.

+1 to lakeport comments

Not much performance increase considering 7-8%.

I think you would be happy with a FX 8350 . The Price Of I7 3770K is priced at ~20k and I think the 4770k would be priced Ridiculously at 25k(guess).

Reviews by the "sources" have not been done on the final product... just like a beta of game or software, the proccy they worked is a work in progress with beta drivers. So I feel we should not judge the performance increase right now.

granted the review/preview tested a review sample only, there's not enough new apps which can take advantage of the new instruction sets and the OC potentiality has not been tested yet but generally speaking 3770K or even a FX-8350 is a much better for the people who don't wnt to wait as these techs, platforms are more mature and going with either of them is not a bad idea by any means.

Is it an urgent purchase, or you just want an upgrade?
