Intel's Ivy Bridge vs. Sandy Bridge Benchmarks Leaked

[clonazepam]

The charts show the Intel Core i7-3770, which is a has 4 cores (8 threads) at 3.40 GHz, with 8MB L3 cache going up against the current Core i7-2600 with similar specifications.

The first chart, far right, for Excel 2010, has a bubble with "faster, larger cache can bring added performance". Unless I missed something, they both have 8MB L3 cache. Is the L2 cache increased on the i7-3770, and they just failed to point that out? The link for the i7-3770 points to another article with a chart that states "total" cache at 8MB. I'm not researching beyond this... dinner's ready lol

It's certainly not a leak but part of their marketing schama.

[citation][nom]danwat1234[/nom]According to that chart, it's nearly 3x the performance, graphics wise compared to Sandy Bridge.Sandy Bridge can do about 4K on 3dmark06, and so think of 10K on 3dmark06 with Ivybridge, pretty darn good. Better than my Asus G50VT gaming laptop. Who knows if it really is that much better but that's what the marketing shows.[/citation]


compared to intel hd2000 not hd3000... I bet any amd apu can do better graphic wise... but again... if sandy bridge is not a big leap in cpu performance... there is a hope... that the next amd cpu will at least compete with them...

3DM Vant. P GPU
Intel HD Graphics 3000 1329
Intel HD Graphics 2500 950
Intel HD Graphics 2000 763

So based on these numbers the HD4000 would score ~2841 which would put it around a NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M or AMD Radeon HD 6680

Edit. used HD3K for math instead of HD2K... fixed

"Stay tuned as hopefully more details trickle out on what type of gaming performance can be expected with the new Ivy Bridge processors."

Cuz thats what all us nerds really care about in the end.

It has a chance at competing with Intel in highly thready performance, but it will surely lose in single threaded performance. The next AMD CPU will also not stand a chance in its performance per watt. It will likely be 125W vs 75W TDP. That's a huge difference in power consumption for something that likely won't give as much performance.

Didn't need to see the article. I was already sold on Ivy Bridge. :-D But it doesn't hurt. I'm looking forward to seeing some gaming benchmarks and "Best CPU for the Money" articles once Ivy Bridge comes out. I'll be interesting in seeing if Ivy Bridge offers anything about the 2500k with respect to a similar price point and needs of games, today. I would love to see benchmarks on these games: MW3, BF3, GTA IV, Metro 2033 and Alien vs. Predator. Not sure of other games off the top of my head.

 

[de5_Roy]

yeah, i'd like to see some cpu-intensive games benchmarked with ivb vs sb vs fx as well. games like gta iv, rage (the mega texture benchmark), skyrim, starcraft, civilization, bf3 multiplayer, and how old dx 9 and 10 games play with hd 4000 and 2500 at 1650x1080 and 1920x1080 res and any other game that uses cpu resources a lot.

Looks like i need a upgrade from my old phenom if the prices are same as current sandy bridge and gaming performance is better than current cpus

Think you need to fix your score again the score should be around ~2228 not 2841 which would put it a bit under average performance of a 6620G on 3Dmarks web site. Which means AMD is still doing better than the HD4000 right now and Ivy Bridge has not even been released yet.

So it'll be a nice upgrade for laptops, but not really necessary for desktops. I'm alright with that, My next computer upgrade is going to be a laptop anyway. I'll probably wait till the next gen comes out after ivy-bridge for my next desktop.

 

[yesitsmario]

It might be worth the upgrade going from a SB i5 to a IB i7.

that made me laugh

and yet they compare intel vs amd gamewise when they shouldn`t ... talking about irony ...

Where is Pi calculation!?

 

[iceman1992]

errr yeah the improvements are not as much as i expected

Have you got any source or a link with more info about that? Thanks!

 

[jowunger]

I still use my old Q6600 Quadcore (clocked to 3Ghz) with a GTX570 GPU and no game does use the full potential of my CPU. Sometimes people could save a lot of cash by checking their hardware, whether it really needs to be replaced. In Games, GPU works the hardest and any quadcore does the job imho.

 

[Guest]

not much cpu gain only gpu it seems...

 

[paidbyhalf13]

I don't think the performance will be significant enough for people with 2500s/2600s: you guys should know that with cpu's there seems to be the pattern that its better to skip a generation or 2 for gaming. For business is different since time is money. But kinda seems obvious that performance jumps a steady 20-30% everytime. So why are readers from this site surprised that it wont justify an upgrade from sandy. 1st gen i7's maybe. Please stop with the whole "it's not worth getting over my oc 2500k...etc) cuz frankly i dont think intelthe will purposelybe or evennot accidentally realease something thats leaps and boundsa from previousthe generation likeor that sincefor the i7swhole have startedto especially. this will be good for ppl like me that with a core 2 duo still lol

 

[kartu]

In other words, GPU sucks less now.

 

[alidan]

cpu alone, this is kind of pathetic, when they were spouting off 33% and they didnt come close even in the best benchmarks for them, im completely disregarding the gpu, as its inconsequential to anyone who would really use it, as they have a real gpu or a pro line.

its nice that its progress
there may be a great deal of overclocking (remember trigate is new, may not be very ocable)

i want to see a single thread bench, multi core bench, a program made for multi thread and compare it to a bulldozer, if intel didnt drop single core preformance, thats great, but i want to see how close the bulldozer can come to it.

 

[ojas]

Intel talked about a 15% CPU improvement over Sandy while a significant increase over the IGP. They've delivered, as far as i can tell. They've lowered the TDP too...So i don't see any reason to complain about "not improving by much", because they've not fallen short of their promise. They asked to expect this, so...(why did you think it would be something more?)

Me too. Is Ivy Bridge considered two or three generations beyond Yorkfield/Wolfdale?
