CURSES!!! Looks like im just going to have to get that 2500k before Skyrim... Maybe I'll just wait a LITTLE longer...

nuts

didnt think Ivys would be that far away...

Bulldozer or Sandy it is then!

When did you think it was coming lol? I think most people expected it 1H 2012

Sandy Bridge E was meant to be Q3 2011, so at least the delay wasn't major

Games very rarely use/need more then 90% of my 2500K, Will these new processors actually increase your FPS that much to be worth the money?

I was originally planning two builds:

1)A server/ media center PC

2)A high end gaming PC

I decided to build my server with the 2500k and a P8P67 PRO but then overclock it and stick in some 580's so it could service my gaming needs until the replacement to 1366 come out and my server could become a server and I could build my gaming rig.

I've been so surprised by how good the 2500k is that I don't know what to do. I've already purchased two cases (600T and 800D)

Guess I just carry on enjoying what I've got and see what I impulse buy later on this year

I know I keep saying it in other posts, but I've found my CPU becomes a bottleneck after a while with Total War games (solider detail and individual shadows for 1000s of soldiers, then the environment shadows, ambient occlusion et al), I mean that's one hell of a demanding games. But most games will use the GPU a lot.

Some games are very heavy around the CPU and other use the GPU mroe, sometiems it can be hard to balance

So the i7 3960x will be more powerful than the i7 995x? Because I'll wait to get it before starting my rig lol.

Update: Wait why are there so many 3960x's? I'm a bit confused.

990X ? Yes from what i've seen on benchmark claims it's about 30% quicker clock for clock, And lets not forget you'll be able to overclock the living hell out of it with a decent WC setup.

I'm going to get a Case labs TH10 with two 480 Rads for my new build

Cool

. i7 995x is coming soon. It's the last of the series for this I think. Least that's what I've heard. Looks like I'll wait for the 3960X.

This is just stuff I can only have in my dreams, though I do look forward to seeing what people do with it

i7-3930K give!!!

i need NAOW

 

[Excalabur50]

Im looking foward to these chips i think i want the 3960 too

 

[nothingspecial]

Anyone know if we're expecting anything else than PCIe 3.0 and a couple of native USB3.0 ports from the x7x series chipset/mobos for Ivy Bridge?

Current plan for a Christmas build is get a Z68X-UD7 and a £50 1155 Pentium chip, then switch it out for an IB in the new year. Bios upgrade allows for PCIe 3.0/IB.

Plus I'll have a spare CPU kicking about for a mATX/mITX rig to shove somewhere else in the house

 

[dipzy]

i7 3930K is perfect for me. My first 6 core cpu, cant wait

 

[Natashaful]

I can't wait to see what thease chips are like, I will try hold off till second gen if i can, it's not like the 9xx core i7's are struggling even now..

Certainly going to be keeping my eye on all Sandy Bridge E developments and articles out there. I am looking to build my "proper" rig when the real high-end chips are available. My current rig was intended to tide me over, but actually proved to be far better than expected.

Looking to put the new build in the only case it deserves - the Casecom M8, along with a pair of water-cooled GPUs - hoping both AMD and nVidia's latest and greatest offerings will be available to choose from at the time.

I had originally thought I'd wait until the high-end Ivy Bridge chips are available before commencing my build project, to benefit from the shrink and all the advantages that should give, but I expect I'll not be able to wait.

As things stand I'd have to go for the 3960X primarily because this is planned to be my uber rig, having built mid to high-end systems for myself in the past balancing cost and performance, I want something high-end cooled with water

With the above in mind would anyone like to put a deposit down on a previously owned kidney? Maybe and arm, a leg perhaps? I'd need to hold on to the arm until the build is complete mind

Scoob.

cant wait for these want a 6core
