![]() slickr - Wednesday, Jlink You will get benefits upgrading from E6600 no doubt about it.Because if Haswell is not that efficient to warrant being used in "normal" tablets, then they'll try to dramatically lower clock speed and performance to even achieve 10W TDP (still too high for a tablet). This means that my predictions that Intel will try to "trick" us into thinking Haswell is ready for tablets will soon come true. ![]() It actually consumes 5-10% more than same clock speed IVB chip, which means its extra performance is almost completely negated. ![]() Yes, this is not the mobile version, if Haswell really were an impressive design for power consumption, you'd see it here, too. So much for all the "Haswell will totally dominate tablets in the near future" hype from Anand. It won't do much in ACTIVE power, which is really what matters. The only big improvement seems to be in idle power consumption, of about 30%, which seems to "impress" Anand, but it just means that if your laptop had a 12h idle time, now it gets 16h. He's even comparing it to 2-3 older generations, just to be able to write some non-embarrassing numbers in the review, considering Haswell is only like 5-10% faster than IVB.
