3770k retail review up

Meh, nothing ground breaking. Most of their effort clearly went into the IGP. So what, 5-8% increase on the CPU side? And we have to spend another $300 to get that?

I am happy with my 3820 until Haswell I guess. Unless IB-E bring some more performance.
 
Edit: Ops there is more than one page 😀

i have to get one now.
[redacted] i knew they would be like 5-10% improvement but OC > 5ghz no problem.

-so much for the sb \z68 to ib as still being recommended today on many sites . hahaha.
-looks good for us 920 users
-but a 3820 holds it own.

Conclusions based off what exactly?

Z77 is going to offer better performance per clock than P67/Z68 with the same exact chip?

I find that highly "bulldozer", and would really like to see it before assuming anything.

I run my i5-2500k @ 5GHz 24/7, max clocks are around 5.3GHz. As an overclocker this still interests me, if I was an average joe who already had an i5-2500k @ 4.5GHz probably not so much.

Also while this isn't a must have upgrade more than likely for people already on SBe and SB, it's even more lucrative than SB to those folks who are on older hardware and found to courage to wait a bit longer.
 
Volts look awesome for 5GHz. But what is the IB stock voltage like? Is that within the 'easily safe' range for IB? People say 1.35V is the SB limit before you start lowering chip life, but I'd imagine IB would be lower given the smaller die. Anyone know?

Mythical made up voltage is made up.

I've been running 1.45v for over a year, same clocks, same voltage, no problems at all. Never had to increase voltage, or lower clocks at the same voltage.

I've also benched it countless times at 1.525v to 1.57v. There are several people I know who fold 24/7 @ 1.5v for 5GHz and have not had a single problem in over a years time with more stress placed on the chip than most people around here put on it in three years time.
 
I'm going to pick one up if I can get enough money for my 2500k.
5GHz OC sounds awesome.

Watch your language on this board. I've been banned a few times for dropping f-bombs here.

My thoughts exactly. Looks awesome if it was a 32nm chip but its not and it wont be able to take the same volts SB can.
 
So what, Z77 bios comes with a 1 click 5 GHZ OC @ 1.27 volt?

aka SB becomes irrelevant for any OC'er?



Meh, Haswell better be damn damn good intel.
 
Well at the very least stable enough not to crash while using the computer and running benchmark programs, I'd imagine they wouldn't have even bothered posting the screenshot of that OC if it didn't meet that level of stability. If it's IBT stable at that speed and voltage, though, even better. 🙂

Long story short:

They used a z68 motherboard for testing

Even on z68 power use is better than 2600k or 3820

Conclusion:

May see, if in the overall performance 2600K is 100%, then 3820 pieces are 104%,3770K are 107%. Too has not promoted, but in the frequency is the same, the construction has not changed in the situation also calculated that was qualified. But the 22nm might polysome present power loss improves, and has brought the more fearful ultra frequency ability.

The performance aspect speaks i7-3770K to compare the i7-2600K promotion is not many, the weak superiority important source in the 100MHz basic frequency difference. The present Z68 motherboard possibly cannot very good support i7-3770K in the low voltage, the low power loss and the excellent frequency ability aspect superiority, believed when official issue, the Z77 motherboard will provide the most perfect support, the solid 22nm+3D transistor's superiority will obtain completely the release.

Pretty much as expected, no difference in games, slight boost in synthetics. Surprised idle power consumption/temps are the same as SB, maybe that is a Z68 issues. Load temps/power consumption and OC voltage look great.

Not sure why anyone on SB would consider IB unless they just like to tinker with CPUs or have a purely CPU bound user case. Zero impact on gaming (as expected).
 
I might just get me a 2600k or 2700k... going to be lots of sales in the FS/FT forum here soon.


Edit: What am I saying? Everyone knows that I will buy an IVB 😛 I just won't be able to resist, but I can try!

That pretty much confirmed my suspicions; they tested IB on a Z68 chipset..

Everyone's been saying that IB on P67/Z68 is only going to be 'slightly' faster. However its not using any of the new stuff that Z77 (and P77?) would bring to the table - power reduction (20%?), increased IPC, IGP upgrade...
