Ivybridge

[Juantjie]

Hey guys - Happy New Year!

I just wanted to ask a quick question - when Ivy comes out, what would its relative performance be when lined against the i5 and i7 (K versions) and the 1100T?

I'm thinking of getting one. I can wait til April, but if the performance is going to be the same as a 2500k with a similar price point, then I may as well get an i5 now.

Also, will there be a change of lithography?

Many thanks

( p.s. if I get an Ivy, I'll name the system Ivysaur )

In the area of 5-10% faster clock for clock than Sandy Bridge and with potentially greater overclocking headroom.

Also, will there be a change of lithography?

The 22nm node will continue to use immersion lithography as extreme ultraviolet lithography is still unavailable; this node will be the first to benefit from Intel's Tri-Gate technology.

Main improvements are supposedly to the onboard intel graphics chip. However, cpu wise there is improved performance per clock (Not massive) and a slight bump in the stock clock speed (3.5ghz)

The real improvements come from only having 77W TDP (Compared to all other quads these days having 95W TDP) which means it should run cooler, consume less power & this should (Hopefully) make it OC really well. As an added bonus you get PCIe 3.0 support.

The new motherboards will also have native USB 3.0 support (4 usb 3.0 ports in total I think as well as a load of usb 2.0)
