Those were so cheesy that there wasn&#8217;t even any seriousness attached to them &#8211; it was an Intel lab tech inside a golden suit with a helmet that looks like something out of Dead Space. If the Necromorphs weren&#8217;t going to drive Isaac insane, that gold colour definitely would have.<\/p>\n<p>But my mother always tells me to never judge a book by its cover &#8211; I suppose that can be extended to computer box art as well. Haswell will be quite interesting and the improvements to power usage, efficiency and the possible return of BLCK overclocking will be the real measure of the chip&#8217;s success, not the fact that the box it comes in is hideous.<\/p>\n<h6>Source: <a title=\"Core i7-4770K Retail Package Pictured Up Close\" href=\"http:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/184718\/core-i7-4770k-retail-package-pictured-up-close.html\" target=\"_blank\">TechpowerUp<\/a><\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More Hardware news:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/54598-nvidia-geforce-gtx770-performance-vs-price-roundup.html\">Nvidia Geforce GTX770: performance vs price roundup<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/54506-amd-richland-apu-performance-looking-good.html\">AMD Richland APU performance looking good<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/54500-g-skill-announces-new-range-of-headphones-for-2013.html\">G.Skill announces new range of headphones for 2013<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 80s called, they want their box art back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":208,"featured_media":53129,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[1727,4338,10165],"class_list":["post-54643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hardware","tag-intel","tag-intel-haswell","tag-terribad"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/208"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54643"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54643\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54653,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54643\/revisions\/54653"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
