IDF 2013: Intel Details Haswell Microarchitecture, New Overclocking Features and 4th Generation HD Graphics Core

wccftech.com:

At this years IDF 2013, Intel detailed their upcoming Haswell microarchitecture for upcoming desktop and mobile platforms. Being a 'Tock' in Intel's Tick-Tock development model, Haswell aims to improve the IPC performance of the core along with a drastic increase in graphics performance in a much efficient 22nm design.

Haswell is expected to bring exactly at around 10-15% percent core improvements over Ivy Bridge and delivers even more parallelism than previous core processors. Haswell microarchitecutre is based around a 22nm process which features 3D transistors technology and includes new instruction sets such as AVX2 (256-bit integer vectors) and FMA that help drive faster computing performance, rich video and audio transcoding along with faster game performance.

Haswell also delivers improved Level 1 and Level 2 unified caches and enhances the bandwidth while latency remains the same as Sandy bridge architecture. It should be noted that Haswell delivers an highly efficient design without compromising on performance.

Intel has also detailed the upcoming overclocking features for their Fourth generation Haswell core which would feature Integrated voltage regulator "FVIR" and enhanced BCLK overclocking. Board manufacturers today offer a wide variety of products which help drive overclocking needs for consumers and enthusiasts.

Intel's Haswell comes with a dynamically adjustable and fully unlocked Turbo Boost Technology limit that ensures users get the most out of their processors when they need it. Core ratios have been unlocked  upto 80 in 100 MHz increments while the CPU voltage is completely controllable via the iVR (Integrated Voltage regulator). DMICLK or BCLK allows for an unlocked PCH clock controller with increments
