PREVIEW: Intel 3820 (Socket 2011) Processor - OC Results!

[bulldog147]

I can see it only ES on CPU-Z (engineering sample) he can go much higher cos there is no warranty for ES chip.

 

[Mr Krugga]

Slower than i5 2500K at 5GHz.

Very True!

Can I ask, what changes did you need to make to get the RAM to 2133?

bump!

bump!

Is this spam that I have to report?

Nope, just me desperate to not have wasted £160 on RAM!

2011 boards cost pretty much the same as 1155 boards

I'm sorry. But what......

£30 between the prices, and that's really the high end of the z68 motherboards. If you wanted to gomore budget, then the lowest x79 board is £174....

I realise that at that kind of price point maybe £30 won't matter, but if you wanted a reasonable price media editing pc, I can't see the advantage of a 3820 with an x79 motherboard over a 2700 with a low end z68 mobo, apart for perhaps the extra RAM support.

However I must say this does seem interesting, althoughh I must say I think x79 is on the whole completely useless for most people.

he did say mostly

The main advantage of X79 is being able to use two RAM blocks.

Anyone who disagrees that that is the best feature clearly knows nothing about PC's

What about the rest

 

[Subliminal Aura]

For crying out loud .... who's bumping this thread ?!

You do realise that people are sleeping or have finished work

Hmm yeah, but I'm not quite sure of the advantages of this either with relatively well priced 8gb vengeance single sticks you could stick 32gb in z68.... And very very few people would ever need more than that.... Unless you want some kind of extreme RAM disk....

Yes, but the people who buy high end setups will buy the rest of their parts high end, won't they

Eg, you buy a high end CPU, mobo and gfx cards, you also buy a high end case!

580, 2700k. £40 case.

[King Damager]

I was talking about even higher end

Which makes your point moot as the whole point is 3820 ~ 2700

pointless chip is pointless.

[Cleeecooo]

Kd - but you're spending so much on a good mobo, you may aswell make use of its features!

 

[DennisMenace]

TBH, SandyBridge/1155 is such an awesome platform that anything else underperforms or is overpriced - and nothing comes close to a 2500K for price/performance (except maybe a 2600K/2700K for certain apps).

My £600 system (Z68/2500K) gets close to the performance of a X58/1366 system costing £1000+, and I can't see X79/2011 beating it by enough to justify the price difference, even with this "budget" 3820 CPU.

Of course, a few people can afford the latest/fastest/shiniest kit, and will get a X79/3960X system whatever the cost, but the vast majority of users (enthusiasts and gamers alike) try to justify the expense, and would be better off with a P67/Z68 system and spend the difference on a bigger SSD or better GPU(s) - plus there's the upgrade path to IvyBridge.


NB I'm not trashing this chip or the 2011 platform, just pointing out that it's going to take a fair bit more to beat the 1155 platform for 99% of cash-strapped geeks (like me).

The idea of the 3820 isn't to beat the 2700k ad in some cases it will, some it won't.

The idea is that you get all of the extra features of x79 but without the £400 premium!

There's more sata 6gbps ports on the intel side of things, it has 48 pcie lanes.

So straight away the £180 x79 matchs the £330 maximus for features regarding bandwidth for gpu's and has more ram bandwidth.

Now x79 as a system is cheaper.

There never was a like for like! There's twice the memory bandwidth and 3x the pcie lanes for a total system cost of £50 at most more than z68 and in a case where z68 NEEDS to match it for running more than 2 GPUs it's actually cheaper.

Go figure...
