Haswell follows [[Ivy Bridge]], the die-shrunk "[[Tick-Tock|Tock]]" of Intel's [[Nehalem]]. It will be manufactured on a 22nm process, and is scheduled to be released in Q1 2013. Haswell will feature [[transactional memory]], and represents a major step forward in power reduction, largely through new [[ACPI]] sleep states ("S0ix states") and improvements throughout the associated chipset ("Shark Bay"). | Haswell follows [[Ivy Bridge]], the die-shrunk "[[Tick-Tock|Tock]]" of Intel's [[Nehalem]].

Haswell supports [[AVX|AVX2]] instructions (including the FMA set) on two ports, doubling both single and double-precision AVX floating point flops over [[Ivy Bridge]]. | ||
