Ivy Bridge i7 3770k Benchmarks

lollyhayes · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:01

So looks like IB is better to SB in instructions per clock.

A 2600k (3.4ghz) gets 6.89 at stock (cinebench r11.5)
A 2700k (3.5ghz) gets 7.08 at stock (cinebench r11.5)
A 3770k (3.5ghz) gets 7.52 at stock (cinebench r11.5).

Well it looks like we again don't have a major advantage over SB in gaming with IB.Well,if IB is priced at around the same price as SB then it should be a good deal.

Think I'll stick with SB for now... but for new adopters, it'll be nice. Of course, we'll have to wait until more reviews are released...

Why?, did you expect any more than 5-10% increase from a die shrink with minor tweaks?

Ivybridge is focused around increasing performance/watt, not raw IPC.

It's still a fairly impressive improvement, just widening the gap again between Intel and AMD.
The main improvements are the IGP, and then you've got power/heat improvements.

I wonder how the IGP stacks upto Llano?

Certainly going to be interesting to see temps on IB and compare them to SB.

It should be a bit lower. On the basis of a move from 90w to 77w TDP that's around 15%.

According to chiphell 5ghz is easy on these chips (although they said that about SB) so hopefully the overclocks on these should be good. If so will def be getting one!

sunny007 · 12 Dec 2011 at 16:46

Not much difference between the 2700 n IB

only about 6% increase !

Overcocking will be the main benefit of Ivy, as well as PCI-E 3.0 although the difference will probably be minimal.

I do video editing stuff,so i would choose Ivy Bridge.
It would be a good thing though if Intel would keep the price down(SB pricing and maybe 100 pounds more)

I think a lot of us are in the same boat; I'm currently running my 2500K at 4.4, if Ivy can hit 5.0 reliably then along with its IPC increase it will justify the upgrade.

The hardest part is the unknown and the waiting game...

The only thing that's stopping me from upgrading to i5 2500K platform is knowing that IvyBridge will be out within the next 2 quarters...

...if the 3570K (2500K's replacement) is going to be priced like £100 higher than i5 2500K, then I would effectively wait for like nearly half a year for a CPU that's out of the price I'm willing to pay. Even if we don't get solid confirmation for performance, I wish I'd know what the prices are going to be like...

ng93 · 13 Dec 2011 at 08:45

I'll be sticking with SB then. TBH there's very little a 2500K can't handle anyway.

Although 77w is impressive, can't wait for some mobile chips.

Does Ivybridge just drop straight into any existing 1155 mobo??

There was some talk a few months back during pre-BD release that it could require a trip back to the factory for some Motherboards, inorder to be flashed in someway(Not the bios) in order to allow Ivybridge to work. Is there any basis to this or was it just speculation\BD fan fodder trying to put down Ivy?

Seems like it was just scaremongering, my board already has a BIOS out for Ivy.

Good

My plan is to get a 2500k now. And a decent Ivybridge on release. If Ivy wasn't on the horizon I would get a 2700k now. But I need to buy something now So I'll get a nice Ivy compatible board now, and enjoy the benefits of dropping in an Ivy and selling my 2500k.

The 2500K replacement will be priced accordingly, probably with a small premium but nothing like £100 higher.

Will this mean the Sandy bridge prices will drop with the release of the ivy bridge?

reflux · 13 Dec 2011 at 18:50

Will be interesting to see how well this does. I kinda feel that Intel is holding back, given how poor AMD's showing has been lately.
