Ivy Bridge Pricing

I'm not interested in Haswell-E though, just wondering if Haswell would use an as of yet unknown, unnamed, socket.

Yes, with the Haswell we will get a new socket and a new chipset. I also imagine that Haswell will bring a lot more to the table then what IB is going to do. Haswell is going to be a huge upgrade from where we are now. Just like when the first gen Sandy's crushed the Yorksfield.
 
Im gonna wait til i see results from users with custom loops before i decide to upgrade to Ivy. I was all but ready to pull the plug on a Z77 mobo til i seen some of the early reviews of the 3570k.

My P55 set up might live to see another day................or year.....................or 2

Eh well I can't really hold off upgrading long enough to see Haswell come out, a teenager only holds on to £500 for a very little time before splashing it on something useless!

I have a ASUS Sabertooth P67 and i7 2700k @5,0GHz and was gonna wait for the high end IB to come out and I read somewhere that it will be at the end of this year.

Is it your opinion that I should wait for Haswell high end chips?

If so, does anyone know when they are said to be released? Next year or the year after ect...

i'd wait for haswell tbh you won't see a massive increase in performance from sandy bridge to ivy

any noticed the TDP's on those chips tho???? 77watts for the 770k i'm thinking that pushing these babies past 5ghz is going to childs play but we'll see.

Yup, I agree

Actually the transition to 22 hasn't been made as well as we expected. IB has been confirmed with a tdp of 95W and OC is causing higher temps when compared to an SB chip at the same GHz.

Take a look at these threads

Multiple threads going on so I thought I'd c&p this from here:

This is what I think:

Temps

With the top of the range air coolers/H100 or custom water IB will be fine running overclocked. I wouldn't be surprised if anything less than custom water cooling had trouble with the IB 3770k under stress conditions but very few people will be in that situation for everyday use so ultimately I can't see temps being an issue for most overclockers.

Performance

You will probably run IB at a lower clock than you would SB, but IB will perform better clock for clock so IB will probably win by about 5%. If you are running on custom watercooling then you will probably be unhindered and can take IB to its limits giving maybe upto 15% extra performance over SB.

Chipset Features

PCI-e 3.0. Meh, makes no difference for single gpus. If you sli/xf the latest gen then you will need PCIe3 support to avoid bottlenecking the cards. If you run more than 2 latest gen cards then x79 is the only way to go.

USB 3.0. If you use USB 3.0 then obviously this is better, if you don't then this makes no difference.

Lucid MVP. Can see some performance gain in games dependant on which ones you play and at what resolutions. Can make a big improvement in fps, none or make it worse. Can also reduce power consumption which certain uses might eventually notice on their electricity bill. Again, not a deal breaker for me.

Price Vs Performance

IB and the z77 are *slightly* better than SB z68.

It's all down to price for me, I'll willingly pay up to 15% more for a IB/z77 setup than an SB/z68. If it costs more than that then I will be snapping up SB. SB is still so very good that I have no issues with that at all.

You can of course mix the technologies, the most sensible way I think would be SB on a z77 if you wanted the z77 features but prefered the SB cpus for heat/money.

If you need more performance than an SB cpu and/or will be running more than 2 gpus then 2011 is still the only way to go.

From looking Aria's OC bundles that are coming soon, this is what i have worked out:

3570K Bundle

https://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Bundles/Intel+Overclocked+Bundles/Gladiator+Intel+i5-3570K+4.40GHz+Pre-Built+Overclocked+Gaming+Bundle+%28Ivy+Bridge%29+?productId=49478

After taking off price of board, RAM and cooler, the cost left is £186.19. After taking off cost for shop OC, the chip should be around the £170 mark.

3770K Bundle

https://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Bundles/Intel+Overclocked+Bundles/Gladiator+Intel+i7-3770K+4.40GHz+Pre-Built+Overclocked+Gaming+Bundle+%28Ivy+Bridge%29+?productId=49510

After taking off parts prices again, cost of chip is £302.42. Again, I reckon the price of the chip will be around the £280 mark.
 
Well if that's how it works out then I'll def be going z77/IB.

Choosing between the two really has come down to features and price and since I'm xf 2x7950s I will need pcie 3 support since z68 will hamper dual cards but is fine with one.
