WOW 3d transistors, in a smaller sandy bridge arch, so they turn ON to OFF, and back ON again just like the old ones!!
Now I see where the 15% performance increase comes from....duh
all sarcasm aside ,more gates on a smaller transistor leads to exactly what we got, more heat in the chip when overclocking, not good for 80% of us on this fourm.
Intel is not lying , IB chips do preform better!! at stock clocks, they do the same work as a SB chip, using less power which brings less heat, so performance is greater, just not the kind most of us are interested in.
For most of us when pushing the chip, more gates is more surface area that heats up, on a smaller die, physics laws dictate it has to run hotter!! It's gonna take a new arch to take advantage of these new transistors to get what we call more performance out of them. Wait for the TOCK!!!
