Ivy Bridge 3570K Testing, Opinions, Results, New Bios, 4.5Ghz At 1.236v

[JAG87]

Ok guys no more testing or benchmarks!

Chip is pulled and listed on Ebay!

Off to MicroCenter for a $199 2600k!

I really don't understand all this disappointment. You realize that a 3770K at 4.5G / 1.25V will perform exactly the same as the 2600K in your signature at 4.8G / 1.328V, and use around 30 to 40W less?

i.e. 4.8G 3700K vs 5.2G 2600K = 53W difference

Why anyone would choose a SB over an IB cpu at this point is beyond me. Except the $199 MC bait of course, but that's not accessible to every one.

You are assuming they are both running at same temps, when in fact they are not. the 3770k is running at a whopping 97C which makes it an epic fail compared to the 2600k. Power usage is all good, but you can't ignore temps.

Expectations were very high to a lot of people.

I think there was speculation of either the same OC as SB with less power or more spectacular OC than SB using the same power. Without one of those 2 things being the case some people were going to be disappointed. So far in the limited samples shown from China the numbers are not quite there, hence the disappointment to some.

I am happy that I should get my mild OC at less power than SB. Cannot wait for the end of the month.

TDP is 95W not 77W. This is not good.

Until Intel can repair 3d xtor leakage in new stepping, SB > IB. That simple.

Another data point suggesting the 22nm process has not quite delivered yet? I.E. 95W TDP instead of 77W and the adjusted for IPC OCability no better than SB?

Degradation, lesser overclocks, excessive heat which equates to more noise, there are 3 right off the top of my head.

18w difference between SB and IVB. And we can squeeze an extra 200mhz out of our overclocks while running cooler and manage to have the same performance as IVB's IPC increase. We are enthusiasts who overclock CPUs, so what is 18w to us?

 

[utahraptor]

Can some post a link showing that they changed the TDP?

 

[Grooveriding]

The chip is good. Run at stock as intended it is better than SB and has a much improved IGP. Even with a marginal OC it is better than a SB. Intel is probably happy with it for how it will be used by a majority of end-users. It's going to be particularly nice for laptop users.

For people looking to overclock their CPU to its reasonable limits, it's looking like a turd. :awe: At which point a SB looks to be the better choice. Considering how it needs voltage on par with SB at the higher clocks in tandem with the smaller process, these puppies are likely going to wind up degrading fast if people try running them at 4.8+ with loads of voltage - I would guess

 

[Vesku]

From Semiaccurate forums, but there is quite a bit of pics in general of this.

So either some models will have 95W TDP or someone set off a massive photoshop bomb targeting IB.

I am hoping for ~5ghz o/c at reasonable temperature/volts on IB so it is a clear improvement from SB. If this 4.6 ghz is as high as they reasonably go on good air cooling then its a sidegrade from a good 2600k, maybe comparable to SB at 4.9-5.0, which was not worth the time I've waited. I will be disappointed if this is the typical results come April 23rd but I am still keeping some doubt until I see all the reviews go up.

I will be buying it either way since even at 4.6 it makes sense over a SB and will be a nice upgrade over my q9550 (finally get sata3), although it would be disappointing for sure... Especially since I've been at 4.25 ghz already since 2008 :/

Their site may be getting hammered. I can't connect. Did anyone manage to copy said photo?

Ugh that "burns" my eyes.

 

[Rvenger]

Oh so the 3570k and under are the only 77w CPUs? Interesting.

 

[Vesku]

I saw a 3570 non-K pic that also had 95W. Will have to wait for some more reliable info to be sure, of course.

 

[n0x1ous]

This just keeps looking worse and worse.....already have the Z77 UD5....time to start keeping an eye on 2600k/2700k, but I will wait until official reviews are out. Want 4.6-4.7 with good temps on H100

So 95W TDP for 3770K and 77W TDP for 3570K?

 

[Vesku]

At least there's no rumor of PCI-E 3.0 or native USB 3.0 being broken. ;p

yet....they are saving that for launch day

 

[pelov]

That would suck. Three chipset oopsies in a single year would be quite a bad sign =P

 

[Vesku]

Shouldn't detract from the fact IB will still be a good general computer chip the same way Llano is a good general computer chip. Just enthusiasts who will have to think it over.

 

[Rvenger]

When the 3570k overclocks go into high heat mode when overclocked past a certain voltage, how does that affect the power consumption? Does that skyrocket as well I wonder...?

it wont. Will be a great notebook and OEM chip. Just disappointing for us (if these rumours prove accurate of course)

IDC made this thread showing the relation, although that was with the 2600K.
