Ivy Bridge gets 95W TDP, worse overclocker than Sandy Bridge

Oh I didn't see that thread, sorry, it is pretty disappointing, i'm still drawn to IB just because it's native PCI-e 3.0 and USB 3.0, the QuickSync with Intel HD 4000 is another good reason to get it, but I could just get a 2700k now instead of waiting.
 
I would just get the 2600k/2700k and be done with it, as even though IB may be better than sandyB at the same clocks, that will be short lived as SB can overclock to 5ghz easy but IB max 4.4 due to high temps.

So I'm pretty sure a 2600k would be as fast of not faster @ 4.8ghz than an IB at 4.4ghz, not to mention, cooler + cheaper!
 
Not impressed as I was going to swap to a I7 Ivy Bridge but don't see the point if it won't oc further while having the same temps as sandy at a higher speed.
 
Hmm, 4.5 Ghz is a high enough clock for me. IB is faster clock for clock, brings us VirtuMVP, native USB3, PCIe3, SATA6.. not worried here. Besides, I'll be cooling it with the massive Phanteks TC14PE ;p
 
i was mainly gonna get a 3570k for the 77w they said it was gonna be and the ease everyone made overclocking out to be

But then this article could be total Bs, we won't know until next month(:
 
I never take these articles into consideration unless they're published by either rawz or tom or from anyone contained within OC3D.

i will wait for the paper release and NDA lift to make up my mind as i have the money for either SB or IB.
 
I'll most likely get one anyway, even though my 2500K does 4.9GHz stable on Air - something else new to have a dabble with.

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]I want to see how a 3770K compares? surely it will clock higher by an average of 100 to 200Mhz... hopefully.[/font]
 
These chips won't be any problem under water, I wouldn't worry to much about the overclocking seen as IB is faster than SB clock for clock. A 3570k from what is floting around on the web at 4.5ghz is equivalent to a 2500k at 4.7ghz.

If you have a D14, Phanteks, Dark Rock Pro or similar temps are not going to be a problem, they seem to run as hot as 1366 chips (when overclocked) and non of the above coolers have problems with those.
 
Damn, that's a shame. I haven't used a desktop in so long and have been waiting around for the release to build a new rig. I was really looking forward to overclocking but now it's kind of a kick in the teeth to know you'll underperform older generation processors.

I'll still be going for an IB even with less overclocking though just for pcie3, usb3 etc, leaves a little more room for upgrading in the future I believe.
 
well rawz's bench of the i5 was pushing temp limits at 4.6ghz on an h100 which is comparable to the best air coolers. I have a feeling the 3770k OCd with HT running is going to be more than they can handle.

But that is all under stress conditions.
 
I kinda thought this was gonna happen!! The SB transisters are stacked like this: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _, and the IB are stacked like this, I I I I I I I I I I, whick lets you put mre in the same area

while this is great for open air heatsinks, not so great for solid blocks of silicon, I probably makes less heat, uses less power and does have better clock to clock perfformance, Is just the heat can excape as well. No matter how much cooling you put on it The heat will always be traped in the silicon.

This is why I liked the idea of 2011 SB-E

It could also be problems with early samples, maybe Intel is having problems properly bonding the heat spreaders on such a small die CPU.
