I have read somewhere that Haswell processors heat up too much compared to the Ivy Bridge processor. I have even read that haswell processors run 15 degrees hotter than an Ivy Bridge processor! Reason given is the inbuilt voltage regulator called Fully integrated voltage regulator (FIVR) in the processor itself. So, Is this true that these processors heat up more? Even if it is true, does this affects the normal working on a computer with a haswell processor?

Each generation of Intel CPUs have different thermal outputs. For example, Ivy bridge was known to run slightly hotter than Sandy Bridge.

However, this is usually balanced out by better 'clock for clock' speeds, so you dont have to overclock as high to get the same performance, which evens out the temperature levels.

I can assure you Haswell CPUs run at a normal, safe temperature and will not run into any sort of heat issues under normal use. If overclocking, a good aftermarket CPU cooler will be needed, as with any other.
