Right know I have a FX-8000 series and I have been hearing good things about Intel Haswell. I never stepped out of AMD's hands and was trying to get my feet wet on Intel by trying the Haswell.

Any thoughts appreciated

- Haswell's L3 cache is the same as Ivy Bridge. IPC remains the same, but keeping the pipeline full with different software supports also grows benficially.

- No word of when SR comes out; should be early next year sometime though.

- FX 8100 or FX 8320 or FX 8350?
- Haswell won't be worth the money for you if you're just gaming. Now, throw in programs that use transactional memory a lot or AVX 2, and we're talking... Those programs are rare though.
