Hi , was wondering what the opinion on this would be since the angle im covering i dont think has been covered in these forums .
I purchased a z77 ud5 yesterday , so im looking forward to getting it , though i have no CPU yet , as im running 1xi5 750 1156 , and 775 q6600 ddr3 and celeron 2.4 ghz ddr2 at home .
Im tempted to hit the button for an i5 next time a good price comes on the daily deals and its tempting not to wait , but so far i have resisted
However the issue is this , when ivybridge is released the difference will be minimal , Though looking at previous releases of cpu"s the first revision is quite slower to the final later releases , which would have improved performance and overclocking , not to mention less buggier .
Do you think it would be wiser to look for a later revision , towards the end of 1155 life , like the difference between i5 2300 at 2.8 ghz to the 2500k later edition . Would we expect to see similar differences with ivybridge , and just pick up a cheap sandybridge tried and tested in the meantime ?
