Through the comparison test, we again confirmed the results of the next-generation Haswell processors in the CPU performance does not widen the gap with the previous generation Ivy Bridge.E3-1280 V3 good efficiency in addition to the only video transcoding test part two CPU in the rest of the test items are not showing much of a performance difference.

AVX2 optimizations in x264:sneaky:

Bleh, looks like CPU improvements are seriously stalled. I bet this will be marketing-spun to the moon as well.

Take 30 apps, and the vast majority are the same speed or slightly slower clock for clock from Ivy. But 1-2 of them are oddballs that see some AVX2 gains, makes it look better than it is. 20% improvement claimed due to that + IGP gains. For those of us who wouldn't touch an IGP with a 1000' pole for our personal systems it's not an exciting processor release.

Given that Sandy-E 32nm hex-cores are pretty doable at 4.2-4.4Ghz, it doesn't seem impossible to ask for 5ghz 8-core (air OC) chips by now 😀

They're comparing a 3.6GHz Haswell Xeon to a 3.5GHz Ivy i7? I guess that's only 2.8% clock difference.

A 10.5% increase in Fritz chess is relevent to my interests... may be building a chess analysis computer for a friend around that time.

The V3 really should not be losing anything... That memory read score is a little disturbing.

I call bullshit. i7-3770k scores 7.97 in Cinebench 11.5 according to them. In reality it scores around 7.5 @default.

And we have seen a Cinebench 11.5 result with a 8-9% IPC advantage for Haswell here: http://www.futuredrift.com/showthre...-DDR3-3000-era-!-Check-it-out&p=7418#post7418

(although their i7-3770k result looks also on the high side, not sure why) Something looks fishy in this E3-1280 V3 review.

Could ECC slow the read speed but not the write, copy or latency speed? That does look strange...

They write in the article that the 3770K is autooverclocked to always run full turbobins on the MSI Z77 board. (Same as Asus etc). So the test is severely flawed. And pretty pathetic considering they could just disable it. Its not like they dont know.

Then there is the other issues of BIOS, platform, ES sample CPU etc. At the memory test the CPU is also limited to 3.6Ghz. Unlike the 3.9Ghz on the 3770K.

It could explain the i7-3770k result but doesn't explain the low E3-1280 V3 result. i7-4770k (which is 100 Mhz lower clocked than E3-1280 V3) scored 8.55 pts.

Another fake.

Wait for the real reviews before making conclusions.

I was driving around in my delorian the other day and said to myself.. why not go into the future and see what type of review/results Haswell has vs Ivy Bridge.
