Ryzen Sandy Bridge IPC

The increase the stock 6700k gets over the 2500k @ 4.7 in the gamersnexus benchmarks.
Still waiting for this 1 situation, or is this another jigger claim with no substance?

I feel sorry for people new to this hobby, reading crap like you post could result in making a bad purchase.

You know a lot of games will run on 8 cores right?
 
Yeah 300mhz will make up that 23% difference in watchdogs 2 :)
I don't hold a grudge, I just point out the bs you type.
There just happens to be a lot of it.

Thats 7%, which would make the 7700K 16% faster, isn't that what he said the difference would be?

Ivy was ~15% faster than Sandy @ same clocks wasn't it, my OC'd 4.7Ghz ivy i5 can't see off my OC'd Ryzen @4.1 in single core tests (they are very close ) and I have the 1900X which should be slower than an x1800 in games OC'd to similar levels due to split die latencies, so I would imagine you need a very very fast Sandybridge, approx. 5.4Ghz just to match that, never mind beat it, not very common.
No, it was about 3%
 
I think it shows how little Intel have moved forward in the last decade, the IPC difference between Sandy Bridge > Ivy Bridge > Haswell is about 6% total, the reason KabyLake has a 10% jump beyond that is mainly because of DDR4.
 
Can any of you claiming wild things actually provide a link to back them up, because as it stands I'm the only one who actually provided a relevant review.
 
Found video on youtube of it5 2500k @ 5.625 with CB R15 single thread score of 198 (Although you don't see it running, and the guy was outside in the cold with his system lol). (Although video is listed as 5.5)

Can you link the video. Maybe it will help people understand. How would the 198 score hold up against a 5Ghz 7700K?
 
Fed up of the arguing. TBH it’s lucky I didn’t bin the thread. Truly pathetic bickering is getting old.

Use the ignore feature.

Well that's some very selective post removals.... Fed up with bickering so that's left alone and everything else is deleted.

Take it up in FCD. I just deleted 33 posts of the most pointless crap I’ve ever read.... on a phone.

Both sides of the argument RTM’d them so I went back as far as I saw necessary. Like I said, I was tempted to bin the thread...
 
This is basically why I am still on Sandybridge. I wont for a moment say I wont notice an improvement if I went from 2600k to 7700k, BUT.. that's quite a costly upgrade for what would be a fairly small upgrade. I'm not gaining any cores, and my SB at 4.6GHz wont be a million miles off a KL at 5GHz from what I have seen in benchmarks, certainly not enough to warrant the upgrade as a night and day difference. I can play games at 100FPS, SB still going very strong in my eyes. I DO want to upgrade, I must admit the 8600/8700k Coffeelake CPU's look good, as at least I will be upgrading to a higher core count. Which then leads to Ryzen, higher core counts for a good price, but I still don't really see it as a huge upgrade due to the slightly lower single core performance. So I guess I will wait and see what Coffeelake brings, or maybe even wait to see what comes after that!
 
Interesting. That is impressive if it keeps up. In what games/applications is that working? I ask, because in games like Planetside 2, an SB i5 was destroyed by slower clocked Ivybridge chips, and the i7 Ivybridge onwards really showed it up.

Sorry I can't quote the other post. Can you link that Video to the 5.5Ghz i5. Saves me buying a Z77 board.
 
Ivybridge hits around those speeds and the 2600/2700 don't seem to overclock as well as the 2500K for some reason. Maybe thats what you remember.

Zeed said he has run his 2500K at 5Ghz since 2012. But his post got binned.

Sandy to Coffeelake isn't a decade.
Also, given how you bang on about Ryzen over Haswell, it's a bit "on the nose" to be saying the gains have come from DDR4.
 
Setting aside platform change benefits, are Ryzen CPU's IPC comparable to Intels Sandy Bridge for gaming?

In this video it appears to be the case (2500k @4.4 vs Ryzen 1400 @ 4.0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jiXkrRoD4w

Can anyone shed any light on this subject ?

Thanks you.

Remember that the IPC of the Ryzen 3 chips is a lot lower than that of Ryzen 5 and 7.

Below is the 1400 vs the 1600. 1600 is well ahead and it isn't entirely to do with cores but cache. This shows up in single threaded benchmarks.

Going through the original video you posted it is worth noting some of the tests are GPU bound even with a GTX 1080.
