Ok, seems I didn't make one of these. I have threads on AMD Fusion, Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Broadwell, but none on Haswell. Well, here it is!
Launches in March 2013 featuring:
- 22nm Processors
- 10W for ULV Dual Core
- 37W/47W/57W for standard voltage Dual and Quad Cores
- Uses DDR4 Ram as well as DDR3
- New FMA Instructions
- New cache design
- Advanced Power Saving features
- 3D Tri-Gate Transistors
- Double the battery life of current processors
answer:-
It's a never ending race, one reason i never understood the age old question "should i buy now or just wait 6 months?" if you're waiting around for the next best thing you'll be in a perpetual waiting game, something better, faster, smaller, lighter, quicker, cooler, quieter, etc. etc. is always just around the corner.
anoter answer:-
Right. GPU's tend to update every 9 months, and CPU's every 12. Sometimes there's more significant improvements than others. It can't hurt to wait a month if something is on the fence, but if you're waiting 3, 4, 5 months, then you clearly don't need a new laptop anyhow. I usually buy a new laptop every 18-24 months. Right now I'm looking at about 18 months going from my current Sager to a Sandy Bridge Sager. I'm hoping to get three years out of this with a CPU and GPU upgrade in 18-24 months this time around, so maybe pick up the tick on the opposite side of Haswell.
anoter answer:-
For me the best proposition is always to get the tock, thats why I always plan my purchases around those.
