Sandy bridge vs Ivy bridge 2700k vs 3770k

What I see is that the large difference in the 3770k is in the graphics chip!

My advise is to all those who will build a new rig to buy the 3770k. Those who have the 2600K or 2700k not worth changing!

I have a P4 and I'm skipping Ivy bridge, putting all my money in Sandy bridge-E, wait 3-7 years and repeat with whatever is out then.

Who knows...slight performance increase on less power at stock = better OC? That's what I'm guessing.

Tom proved what I always suspected, that not always a reduction of power and size means it will be better to do overclocking!

Therefore no one (Including me!

) in this topic hit with the bets results of the percentages that ivy bridge would be better than sandy bridge!

lolololl

I think now was the time for INTEL to make the same mistake as AMD when they released the Bulldozer chips, or can we think that perhaps the economical crisis is also affecting the production and architecture of new processors!?

There is no new architecture , IB is the exact same CPU as SB. It does have 40% more transistors in the GPU which none of us will use.

The only thing you could technically call new architecture is an Improved Memory controller and small improvements in the I/O hub.

memory controller on ivy is improved giving debatable increase in performance. also the video improvements on ivy will be worth it to someone that uses a lot of quicksync. though overclocking will not be as good as with sandy and temps are crazy high with oc. if you have sandy no way its worth upgrading unless you use quicksync like 5hrs a day.

While you are partially correct and there is not much difference in the cpu itself, it is there as shown by this review:

Where a 2600k and 3770k are both overclocked to 4ghz using otherwise identical hardware. In the real world benchmarks the ivy showed between 2-7% performance increase, so while it wouldn't be worth upgrading if you already have sandy, it still makes ivy the better option for a new purchase (unless of course the 2600k can be gotten for 2-7% cheaper and price is really that much of an issue)

True but SB looks like it will continue to clock slighly higher and balence that IB advantage even on high performance cooling. The chip is so small that it can't rid the heat from itself. I think it is more important to decide on features and price as you suggested.

A 3770K at stock should walk all over a 2600K , It should be compared to a 2700K the chip it replaces.

3770K 3.5Ghz/3.9GHz boost

2700K 3.5GHz/3.9GHz boost

2600K 3.4GHz/3.8GHz boost 3% lower clock

Yet you say it beats a 2600K by 2-7% when it runs a 3 % higher clock

That means at worst it loses out to the 2600K running the same speed and at best it's 4% better which is mostly because it's higher clock, Memory controller and I/O hub latancy improvements
