Probably worth it 10% better IPC performance plus AVX2 should add a nice boost in the future. It is disappointing that they are sticking with quad core for mid to high end CPUs and 6 core for enthusiast now that console ports will have to be optimised for 8 core CPUs on consoles. Not that even a low end Haswell quad core won't run circles around a 8 core Jaguar chip mind you, but it would have been nice to see another push forward but that will have to wait until Broadwell and 14nm.
