Intel Ivy Bridge Discussion

[topgear]

yep, Intel holds the performance crown but when it comes to raw clock speed only AMD is still the winner

 

[skeletor]

Intel HD 4000 still 25-30% slower than HD 6550D.

Quick Sync gets 40% faster.

5% more IPC.

Lying b@stard returns; this time with the wafer.

^^ yup, really expected with 22nm. i7-3770K would make a good upgrade to my i5-2500K.

2500k still good enough for feed anything ..

 

[topgear]

2500K is still a great VFM cpu but 3770k will be a good upgrade for those who are willing to pay for it

So will SB prices drop due to IB launch(any chances)

 

[tkin]

For those who have SB, no need to upgrade to IB unless you are using onboard GPU and want the boost, but I doubt any 2500k/2600k owner limping on the onboard GPU and also want to game(face it, all integrated GPUs suck at gaming, all, llano, trinity, IB doesn't matter, all you get a barely playable FPS with COD4).

So will SB prices drop due to IB launch(any chances)

Not much, intel carefully priced IB, don't expect a 10k 2600k or something, maybe 1/2k drop max.

^ see my post above.

 

[vickybat]

^^ oopsy i missed that buddy.

That picture you posted completely masked that link ( atleast for me )
But how come nobody commented anything about your post? I think it was pretty important info you provided. I guess most others missed it as well.

Btw buddy this ivy (most probably its an ES imo) is performing like a beast. Its ipc is even better than sandybridge-E parts. You gonna go for it??

The first Gigabyte mobn looks real nice.

 

[Skud]

Nooooooooo... Giga is back with colored heatsinks!!! Previous gen's black/grey was better.

One question: Ain't 7 series chipset not compatible with SNB CPUs? Anandtech's link shows CPU support as IVB only.
