its 77 watts TDP for the normal Ivy i5/i7 quads and your Q6600 has a TDP of 105 watts.
Aida64 latest version tells me different 168watts max power.

When intel introduced the 3D gate there web site showed the next step in Intel evolution quantuam well. So I suspect will see that @ 14nm maybe 9 nm
60% better will play a lot of 'console'-class games at lower resolutions (think laptops here). Sure, not as good as Llano for GPU, but much better power consumption and superior CPU performance. Discrete mobile GPUs will start to be really only for high-end laptops...

And remember you can drop the multiplier as well, even on locked chips.Sandy Bridge's tying of everything to the bclk allows maybe 5% at best increase for overclocking beyond multiplier limitations. If rumors are true, Ivy Bridge is supposed to have something similar to Sandy Bridge E, meaning it might offer you coarse steps of bclk you can choose from, like back in the Pentium MMX days. Say 100/125/150MHz. Maybe + or - 5% from that.
once again you make me wonder how you had the ability to even build that pc. the official TDP for your cpu is 105 watts. that takes all of 5 seconds to find using google. heck right there in your own screenshot is a link to the official info for your cpu. http://ark.intel.com/products/29765/Intel-Core2-Quad-Processor-Q6600-(8M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB)Aida64 latest version tells me different 168watts max power.

At the worst it's going to be pretty damn close:

Here's the graphics performance slide:
On the Performance Preset, the HD 4000 in i7 3770 is 3x better than the i7 2600.
Note that both of the CPUs are non-K's. The regular i7 2600 has HD 2000, but with 1350MHz clock. Here, it's showing the HD 2000 in i7 2600 performs 20% better than the HD 2000 in i5 2500: http://www.behardware.com/articles/815-9/intel-core-i7-and-core-i5-lga-1155-sandy-bridge.html
The HD 3000 in the 2600K performs 35-40% better than HD 2000 in 2600.
In summary:
Crysis Warhead
HD 2000 in regular Sandy Bridge desktop SKUs = 1x
HD 2000 in i7 2600 = 1.2x
HD 3000 in i5 2500K = 1.4-1.5x
HD 3000 in i7 2600K = 1.35-1.4 x (i7 2600's HD 2000) = 1.6-1.7x
-HD 4000 in i7 3770 in 3DMark Vantage Performance config = 2.9-3 x (i7 2600's HD 2000)
While the top end performance gain(3770 vs 2600K) is only 60%, average gain will be greater because 2500K is the more popular chip for HD 3000 usage. In that case it will end up to be 1.9-2x.
3D xtors are not a 1-node solution.
Intel would not have spent 10yrs developing them to the point of being production worthy simply for the sake of the 22nm node.
In this industry everything is developed as a minimum 2-node solution. If it can't be scaled and used for at least 2 nodes then it simply won't be pursued in the first place.
3D xtors will be employed at Intel for a minimum of 22nm and 14nm. Minimum.
Then we have the 11nm and 8nm nodes. Personally I will be surprised if Intel does not retain 3D xtors and continue scaling them at least down to the 8nm node (making it a 4-node solution, if not longer).
Unfortunately, one cannot talk about graphics performance without talking about image quality. Assuming IntEl can get their drivers working, and provide image quality on the level of AMD and NV, given their history in creating graphics solutions, it's highly unlikely they'll be anywhere near competitive in an apples to apples comparison.

Ivy Bridge will generally inherit Sandy Bridge micro-architecture and will sport a rather significant number of improvements.
1) Firstly, it will have certain improvements that will boost its performance in general applications by around 20% compared to Core i "Sandy Bridge" chips (e.g., enhanced AVX acceleration).
2) Secondly, the forthcoming chip will have a new graphics core with DirectX 11 and OpenCL 1.1 support, 30% higher performance compared to the predecessor as well as new video processor and display controllers.
3) Thirdly, Ivy Bridge will feature PCI Express 3.0 x16 interconnection as well as PCIe 2.0 x4 controller.
4) In fourth, the processor will support a number of power management innovations.
The most interesting part for me is overclocking!!
Gotta give credit to Nemesis 1, he's a hellhound on tracking up very interesting information and a man with long memory, which means a good history afficionado. :thumbsup:
If you say so it must be true.
Intel's partnership with UK R&D company Qinetiq has borne further fruit: the pair this week said they had made a quantum-well transistor with a gate length of 85nm.
Quantum-well transistors are also known as high electron-mobility transistors, and they excite companies like Intel because of their ability to operate simultaneously at low voltages and very high clock speeds. They also dissipate far less heat than today's transistors.
The Intel/Qintiq quantum-well transistor is based on a material called indium antimonide (InSb), which Qinetiq has been researching for some time through is R&D partnership with the UK's Ministry of Defence. According to Qinetiq, transistors made from InSb would consume a tenth of the energy gobbled up by today's state-of-the-art transistors yet deliver the same performance. Or they could be used to triple performance for the same power consumption.
An 85nm gate-length may not sound impressive at a time when Intel and others are about to debut 65nm semiconductors before moving to 45nm in 2008, but it's a big improvement on the 200nm quantum-well transistor Intel and Qinetiq made last year. These are early days for the technique - Intel isn't expecting to be able to make use of it until around 2015.
The newest test transistor operates in 'enhancement mode', rather than the 'depletion mode' of the 200nm version produced last year. That means it more closely mimics the operational behaviour of the transistors found in modern CPUs.

Is this a quote from somewhere? Because 65nm has been out for some time now :biggrin:
It is going to be really interesting finally getting some of these 22nm CPUs in hand...

So your saying the 20% performance increase I gave intel on SB is a fact . So why all the hate when I said that . Why can't you people except things for what they are?
Yes it is a quote from somewhere but like you I don't know where I got it from . I pulled it from our research machine.
I agree with OneOfTheseDays. I am currently using an OCd Q6600. When I go to replace it with an IB model, I doubt I will overclock it at all. Time and stability are too important to me as I use it for a work computer. Funny thing is that I don't really need to upgrade as the Q6600 (at 3.34 GHZ) is enough processor for me...thanks to the Intel SSD![]()
