Ivy Bridge Vs. Lynnfield

Selected applications can be up to twice as fast. Linpack for exmaple gives 51-52Gflops with a 3.6Ghz i5 750. While 100Gflops on a stock 3570K.
 
I happen to own both.

i5 750 is a Great Cpu still Faster then anything Amd has to offer in games using less then 4 threads.

How ever i would have to say IB is a good 20% 60% faster depending on the task.

How ever being able to grab a i5 750 for about 100$ and a mb for 50$ is the best gaming bang for your buck out there atm.
 
The 2nd generaiton Intel® Core™ processors are about 10% to 15% faster than the 1st generation Intel Core processors at the same speed. The 3rd generation Intel Core processors are about 6% faster than the 2nd generation Intel Core processors at the same speed. In the end you are looking at a 3rd generation Intel Core processor being around 20% to 25% faster than the 1st generation Intel Core processors at the same speed.

Thanks Christian for your response. To clarify when you say 1st generation processors do you mean microarchitecture Core (& Penryn), the 2nd generation Nehalem (& Westmere) and 3rd generation Sandybridge (& Ivybridge)?



Thanks

I think for Intel the current generation numbering starts with 'i' named chips, not the "Core" chips. Everything after Core2Duo and Core2Quad.

Nahalem is gen 1, Sandy Bridge is gen 2, and Ivy Bridge is gen 3. Hence the naming of SB i7 2600k and IB i7 3750k. SB-E is technically mis-numbered as 38xx and 39xx since it is based on Sandy Bridge. Haswell will be generation 4.

SB is like 10-20% faster than 9xx/8xx at the same speed but at times much more perhaps and sometimes a bit less. Ivy is another 5-10% faster than corresponding SB, same speed,

So clock for clock the difference will be 20-30%+.

But,
SB/Ivy oc a lot more
Raw fps isn't everything. You will get rid of a lot of stuttering/lag/crappy experience in case your present setup has such issues.

Thanks guys for clearing that up. Poor old Westmere. Going specific could I expect a 20-25% increase in games going for i5-760 to i5-3330s assuming the GPU isn't a bottleneck?


Thanks

If you can manage to run a i5-7xx at high clock speeds, it is basically indistinguishable from the latest generation, except for power consumption and for programs that use the new instructions. I cant run my i5-750 past 3.5GHz because it just gets too hot for my $5 xigmatek loki cooler.
 
for gaming. about 5% if that. (i5-760 and i7-3770k)

for everything. intelenthauiast hit the nail on the head.
