So much whine in this thread...

I know this forum is almost entirely made up of gamers, but come on, please... this is a high-end chip, not a "gaming chip". Gaming is not high-end, sorry to burst your bubble, not when it comes to CPU anyway. You guys can take the GPU crown for that. This chip is clearly aimed at people who will be performing rendering, virtualisation or other tasks that require the absolute most number-crunching performance from a single CPU but not wealthy enough to just go for a dual xeon setup. Gamers not included! Of course you guys won't be buying this for Skyrim and BF3 - ridiculous! That's what the mid-end enthusiast chips such as the 2500k are for and what IB will probably be aimed roughly towards, too. Who in their right mind spends £500 or £900 on a CPU to play games? Nobody. People who make a living with their workstations/servers/rendernodes are the target market for this. And then the super-rich e-peen types who will buy it regardless of benchmarks.

Of course this chip and the entire SB-E line is terrible value for money - for gamers. For everyone else who has a real-world need for a higher-end chip, this represents extremely good value for money, going by some of these benches so far.

So, please.... can we just lose the pointless gaming performance arguments? Keep that to the relevant 2700k etc. threads.

And thanks to all those who've posted their benchmarks so far - keep them coming!

Slightly incorrect ...

People who want to run tri / quad Xfire or SLI need 1366 or 2011, as the mid range platforms do not offer enough lanes for this.

Also the Rampage IV Extreme is the top enthusiast board now available - this includes people who overclock and play games, as well as people who do record holding benchmarking. Its not strictly for a workstation only PC. This motherboard isnt designed for workstations, its sole appeal is to gamers and overclockers.

For these people though, I assume that the quad core for LGA 2011 coming out in January will be what they want.

Also there are currently a few games that do benefit from having more than 4 cores, one that I play would be Civ V, and I would really like there to be an affodable Intel hex core for the few games that can make use of it. The AMD CPUs are far too slow for this purpose, theres no reason why Intel cant make affordable hex cores other than simply wanting to charge a premium on the fastest CPUs that are currently out. A hex core SB chip without hyperthreading could easily be made by Intel for around £250, but they simply want to keep all their hex cores as high end expensive premium CPUs.

FMTopfan, thanks, although I was after some SandyBridge-E results. This being the FMTopfan thread ;)

If anyone with a S-E would like to run an encodeing bench the instructions are here. I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers.

BullDozer = FAIL

drunkenmaster said:
Power wise aswell, Bulldozer uses less power, and is clocked higher. People who called Bulldozer a power dog, are stupid, people who called bulldozer huge, are stupid. This is your real comparison, performance on Bulldozer, sucks, 2billion transistors in only 315mm2, and 125W, is freaking awesome.......... performance per transistor or per W might be horrible, but its size and actual total power usage are anything but.

I'm getting sick of you bumming up a pos Amd product that should have been released as a a quad core because it's first iteration has 4 useless ****** :D All the spec talk and speculation won't make it work so please go tout crap to someone who will listen, or at least hold off the bumming to when AMD proves itself :D

The benchies in games when compared to 2700K are the same..

Unless you have the software to support the 12 threads its a high price to pay for no performance gains in the majority of tasks.

Intel themselves are marketing these as 'for gamers and content creators'. Their mistake I guess, it's clearly not a gamer's chip.

So for gaming comming from an i7 920@4GHZ should I still wait for the IV or go with SB-E
Click to expand...
For gaming, stick with the 920. There are not many games which are CPU limited running skt1366 @ 4GHz.

However, if you want a processor for benching or encoding it is probably best to wait for IB before parting with your cash.

Many thanks. It's a nice increase but I can't justify the extra price, a 2700K @5GHz with some speedy RAM wouldn't be massively far behind.

I'd still love one as a second PC for encoding sessions though.
 
@ Pinto, what cooling are you runing on your 3960? Looks like its something decent going by your temps. Would like to duplicate when I get the courage up to click 'proceed to checkout'!
 
Just got the ASROCK X79 Extreme-M on the test bed and things are looking decidely tasty...
