Anyone waiting for Ivy Bridge?

Chuggerboom · 12 Feb 2011 at 00:52

Apparently Ivy Bridge will be out at the end of the year/early next year. I'm waiting for it so i can upgrade from my current Q6600 set up.

I'm glad i didn't go Sandy Bridge with the terrible mistake they made with the chipsets. Thoughts guys?

Personally, I am waiting for the one after the one after Ivy Bridge. I think it is called Daffodil Bridge.

Not at all. Just asking what you guys think? Intel won't make the same mistake they did with Sandy Bridge you can be assured lol. I'm glad i waited.

I'm waiting for the one thats comes after the one after ivy bridge and I am also waiting for Nvidias graphics cards, you know, the ones that come after the ones after the ones before the one after 580.

tl;dr - Don't wait for future hardware, you will only be waiting forever ; )

Was it really that terrible though? I mean come on.

To answer your question though, I may go Ivy Bridge if the recent reports that the P67 chipset will be compatible holds true. However there's bulldozer and lga2011 still, so I may have already bought and sold before ivy bridge comes about

i dont think ill need to, i still feel my i7 920 will be ok, its always the gfx that get me, having said that, who knows, but even my old t7600 didnt struggle when i had that

I'm waiting to see what Bulldozer is like? Ivy Bridge will no doubt trump it, but i will wait a while when i know Ivy Bridge is stable without any problems

I would say that a 1 billion dollar mistake was terrible wouldn't you? Because that is what it cost them.

If i was you i wouldn't bother. You have a really great chip which will last you a long time.

If you want to buy Sandy Bridge now then fine. Some people don't want to dismantle their systems to send faulty motherboards back.

Yes, ill wait till it comes out, see if it makes any signifigant difference over what i have, if not ill forget about it.

bifday2k · 12 Feb 2011 at 04:27

Ivy bridge won't be for minimum 2 years, sandy bridge enthusiast is first (s2011).

So to answer the original question, yeh im skiping mainstream and enthusiast sandy, and waiting for Ivy, or whatever Amd do after bulldozer, before i even consider another move.

Tbh, my current i7 920 didnt offer a big difference over my old q9550 at 3.8ghz, only major benefit was dual x 16 pcie lanes for multi gpu usage, which ive taken advantage off as i do like running sli.

And transcoding-encoding i7 makes a big difference over q9550.

I think your making a terrible mistake by waiting around and staying with that old slow Q6600 setup

nope i wouldn't as tbh 1 Billion to a company of Intels size is chump change, it's more of an eggface moment than a financial hardship.
