Test: Einzeltest: Intel Core i5-4670K (Haswell) CPU
Zitat: The situation with the Core i5-4670K is much the same as it is with the Core i7-4700K. Overall it´s noticeably faster than its predecessor, the Core i5-3570K in most of our tests, particularly so at image editing. However, the difference isn´t as significant as we´d hoped. It´s certainly not worth upgrading if you own a K-series Ivy Bridge CPU and only the result in our image editing test would possibly warrant an upgrade from a Core i5-2500K. Even here you´re talking about a 13 per cent improvement, which is significantly less than you would have seen going from a Core i7-920 or Core i5-750 to a Core i5-2500K. The issue with heat and overclocking is certainly a worry, but only really to those that planned on whacking the clock speed up to 4.8GHz like you could with Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge. At 4.6GHz, it kept pace in many of our tests with previous generation CPUs that were overclocked much higher anyway. As such, the argument that you should buy an Ivy Bridge CPU instead doesn´t really hold up in the overall scheme of things; even if you find a Core i5-3570K in a flash sale, LGA1155 is now end of life so makes for a pretty poor purchase if you´re an upgrade fanatic. In addition, even if you only overclock the Core i5-4670K to 4.4 or 4.5GHz, it´s likely to be as fast as previous generation CPUs clocked 200-300MHz faster. And again, if you´re willing to de-lid the chip, there´s room to stretch this CPU further. The Core i5-4670K might not offer the same wow-factor as Sandy Bridge did when it hit the shelves in early 2011, but it´s without doubt the CPU you should be considering if you´re buying a new system, or upgrading from a pre-Sandy Bridge one with a budget of less than £200.
