Poll: Poll: Will you upgrade to IVY from Sandy

[Orcvader]

Yes

I have recently upgraded from an i7 930 x58 > i7 2700k z68 so an Ivy seems the logical choice for me

I would've thought the more logical choice for you is Haswell, as 930 to 2700K is a full tick-tock cycle.

 

[Buckster]

what does IVY stand for ? lol

 

[Stoner81]

Nope! Still on i7 930 here at 4GHz and not going anywhere soon.

Stoner81.

 

[DazQ87]

I will mirror what others have said, my 2500K is more than sufficient at this point in time.

 

[Snapshot]

If it's significantly better at folding than my mediocre 2600k I'll have one. It'll drop into the same socket so it's an easy upgrade without dismantling the whole PC.

 

[Gamble2004]

Depending on how it goes down when its released and the performance increase over the i5 2500k, I may consider it...Will come down to cost as well and how much I can get for a 2500k, which I would suspect wouldn't be much!

 

[James J]

Unlikely.

This, unless its vastly faster that what I already have. Got the motherboard to support the next gen stuff anyway so it wouldn't be a pure bank breaking upgrade anyway.

 

[Hyburnate]

Nope. I'll run my 2500k to the ground before even thinking about upgrading. It's too good to let go to waste.

And my motherboard wont support it as its not Z68 (if that matters)

 

[pgi947]

No, 2600K is ticking along nicely at 4.8ghz and headroom to go higher once its under water.

Hopeful my chip will last at least until the 1155 replacement socket comes out. Then its time for a system over-haul.

 

[gareth170]

maybe

 

[Martini1991]

Probably.

 

[Zinth]

AMD 965 > ivy

 

[gurusan]

I paid 105 usd for my 2500k, if I can get the same price for Ivy maybe I will.

 

[Daze]

I've only had my 2500k for a few months so I won't be upgrading. Performance increase isn't worth it.

 

[wkingsnorth]

My 2600k is more than enough, I'm skipping Ivy, Haswell and Broadwell and waiting for Skylake

 

[Mr. May]

if its got hyperthreading and the chance of a six core version at 5ghz + i will other wise iam going to get 980x

 

[glenimp617]

I would've thought the more logical choice for you is Haswell, as 930 to 2700K is a full tick-tock cycle.

Not a chance, any speed advantage (however small) when encoding videos is a godsend.

 

[Leeroy123]

Cant see any benefit for gaming over what i have.

 

[Buckster]

hopefully much lower temps and less need for massive coolers = quieter can't wait

<Q6600 @ 1.58V !!>

 

[bagaante]

im looking for an upgrade on my processor (amd athlon) so anything over that will be an improvement, i think ill wait for ivy and hopefully even if i dont choose that, other processors may go down?
