In our "Early Findings" article published two days ago, we already covered the Haswell-E adoption trend briefly. Haswell-E, Intel's latest high-end platform, only launched two weeks ago and retail availability is still a factor in the popularity of the platform. Yesterday we had a peek at the XTU activity rating including last week's data and to our pleasant surprise found that we reached a new top peak. Last week almost 600 overclockers analyzed, shared or joined the rankings with their XTU score. We received over 2,500 results which is an increase of over 250% compared to last year.

We are happy to see XTU doing so well and in particular we are excited about the surge of new Rookie overclockers. Hopefully the new overclocking community that is forming will one day lead overclocking to new heights as well. 'Clock on!
