Whos getting Ivy Bridge?

[Maximilian]

I might... haswell is so far away

me me me me me me me me

 

[Kristijonas]

If I have enough $ - absolutely.

 

[Barfo]

Me

 

[dma0991]

Definitely me. It is a long overdue upgrade after wasted time waiting for BD.

 

[gevorg]

I will get it, mainly because I already have a mobo for it. If it won't offer at least 20% performance increase over my current 2500K (by better IPC and higher overclock), I will probably just wait until the first round of price cuts though, so maybe in Q4 2012 / Q1 2013. It will be a smooth road to Haswell.

 

[sangyup81]

I plan on it. The 1155 platform will be more than mature and I can feel the pride of owning 22nm parts!

 

[OVerLoRDI]

I probably will, depending on the price. If the ivy bridge equivalent of the 2500k (3500k?) is around 200, I don't see why I wouldn't.

 

[GTRagnarok]

I'm gonna get an Ivy Bridge laptop. Add a 28nm GPU to that for awesomeness.

 

[Dadofamunky]

I'll do a drop-in upgrade. Might even break down and get a MacBook Air with the Ivy variant.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Not me. My Core i7 960 at 4ghz is still doing just fine. I will wait until haswell.

 

[Piano Man]

If there is a sub 300 dollar chip, that'll have my name on it.

 

[LondonBurning]

SandyBridge-E or bust

 

[StinkyPinky]

No, probably not. Unless it surpasses expectations. I'll upgrade my GPU in 2012, and my CPU in 2013.

 

[Concillian]

I will probably just wait until the first round of price cuts though

Price cuts?

When was the last time Intel had price cuts on a CPU people in these forums would buy? Q6600?

Usually they stay the same price and just go EoL.

maybe $5 cheaper than it was a year ago? Then it was probably called the 750, but 750 never got cheaper, it just got called a 760 and replaced at the same price.

 

[john3850]

Cant wait to try out IB with Tri-Gates.

 

[nemesismk2]

I can't say for sure until I see some reviews but I am confident I will have an ivy bridge

 

[amenx]

I may. If it shows a worthy jump in performance over my i5 760 @ 4ghz.

LOOK AT HIGHLIGHTED AREA

Probably, depends on how it turns out. My arrandale laptop is getting a little long in the tooth. I'll be watching for Trinity as well, but IB+28nm gpu is looking to be my replacement.

To hold over my urge to get a 2500K I took my mild overclock on my i7 920 from 3.8Ghz to 4Ghz, then to 4.21Ghz It's doin fine. I think the only thing holding it back is the memory. I'll be happy with it for a while. I've forgotten about the 2500K upgrade consideration.

Apparently the Sandybridge E series doesn't offer much more over the first iteration AFAIK and I don't plan on using a platform that will cost over 300-350$ next time. I went all out on Rig2 and I think that got me the experience I was looking for.

 

[Keysplayr]

With what I have in my sig, would I need to buy Ivy?

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

I'm sure you can overclock that thing to atleast 3.8Ghz

 

[Eddie313]

I want the Intel Core i7-3960X

You'd think...(see my thread)
