The prices of eight of the Haswell CPUs have been leaked.
VR-Zone has what could be leaked pricing information on a number of Haswell processors, and the list includes pricing for the flagship i7-4770K and the i5-4670K. The i7-4770K will have an MSRP price of $327, and the i5-4670K will cost $230, making it $35 more expensive than AMD's flagship FX-8350 chip.
Pricing has only been leaked for eight different chips though, while a total of 14 Haswell CPUs will be shipped on launch day.
| Model | Core / Threads | Base / Turbo | L3 Cache | GPU | Memory | TDP | MSRP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core i7-4770 | 4 / 8 | 3.4 / 3.9 GHz | 8 MB | HD 4600 | 1,200 MHz | 84 W | $292 |
| Core i7-4770K | 4 / 8 | 3.5 / 3.9 GHz | 8 MB | HD 4600 | 1,250 MHz | 84 W | $327 |
| Core i7-4770S | 4 / 8 | 3.1 / 3.9 GHz | 8 MB | HD 4600 | 1,200 MHz | 65 W | $285 |
| Core i5-4670 | 4 / 4 | 3.4 / 3.8 GHz | 6 MB | HD 4600 | 1,200 MHz | 84 W | $209 |
| Core i5-4670K | 4 / 4 | 3.4 / 3.8 GHz | 6 MB | HD 4600 | 1,200 MHz | 84 W | $227 |
| Core i5-4570 | 4 / 4 | 3.2 / 3.6 GHz | 6 MB | HD 4600 | 1,150 MHz | 84 W | $189 |
| Core i5-4570S | 4 / 4 | 3.0 / 3.6 GHz | 6 MB | HD 4600 | 1,150 MHz | 65 W | $182 |
| Core i5-4430 | 4 / 4 | 3.0 / 3.2 GHz | 6 MB | HD 4600 | 1,100 MHz | 84 W | $175 |
The validity of these prices cannot be confirmed, so take it all with a grain of salt.
We can expect the Haswell CPUs to be released in June.

3 years with no significant change in performance per dollar. That is truly disappointing.
Prices are in line with Ivy Bridge, and seeing how the relative improvements in performance are significantly smaller than 5-6 years ago, I think this is pretty expensive.

A. Intel is conceding smaller margins because the step up in performance is not as significant.
B. Intel is trying to put pressure on AMD by pricing much closer to them.
C. These leaked prices are false.

At least they're consistent.
Microcenter will probably sell the 4470K for $279.99 and the 4670K for $189.99.

Correct Answer: C
Intel has been talking about an across the board +$30 price increase for Haswell. Those prices are basically where the IB chips are being sold today. Can't see it. They raised their prices $15 across the board for IB... i can't see them sticking to the same prices for Haswell
i've got a PhII x4 965... unless the haswell is a nice jump in performance i think i'll skip upgrading again. right now this chip is basically indistinguishable outside of benchmarks from an i5-3570k... until i see a chip that is noticeably better i'll stick with this warhorse.
That's why you see the same clock speeds for 4 years now (3.5 GHz at the high end). While wattage has dropped more then 50% (not TDP, actual wattage).
Intel is probably one gen away from hitting the point that watt for watt they can complete with ARM, so I would expect to see this same line up for Broadwell as well.
I can't see anyone getting their monies worth if they have SB/IB. I am starting to think that the i5 2500k was a peak in terms of bang for you buck.
IMO, this (insane cost to upgrade for little reason to) is yet another reason why PC sells are slowing.
Heck, ever since IVB all i've been reading is people claiming that the next i7 will be north of $350.
Today, a core i3 meets or beats my Core 2 Quad Q8400 in almost everything, despite my CPU being a $200 part (more, at launch).
Exactly, same here. Will probably get a 4770K, if finances work out.

Again, +1. It's like half the Tom's community refuses to read most of the analysis articles...though AnandTech is usually more in-depth with Intel-related stuff.
