Ivybridge perf increas

[robfosters]

Anyone got any idea yet? All these new boards gloat about supporting it, but what performance increase will we be expecting say from upgrading from an OC'd i5 2500K?

Or is too early to say? Will it be worth it?

My answers would be: not that I'm aware of, don't know, yes, don't know.

Perhaps someone else has some different answers.

That's cleared it up then. Cheers

Any idea then on when details may be released?

Apparently performance increases of up to 37%:

WOW! That's a huge increase for a new CPU imo. Particularly one that can be used with an existing motherboard and RAM.
