Intel's Ivy Bridge vs. Sandy Bridge Benchmarks Leaked

[eddieroolz]

~15% performance boost over Sandy Bridge, at (probably) similar price points and ~20W less power consumption. That's quite amazing.

That 15% boost is something AMD would love to have at this point.

This seems disappointing for the desktop user.

For overall usage, which Sysmark is the all around benchmark for, is 7% faster.

For some multimedia apps it seems to be about 13-15% faster.
And then it is jus the special case within excell where it was 25%.
Seems like Intel digged deep to find something that had higher performance numbers!

But for the laptop users that also wants longer times on battery (narrowing it down two times since a lot of people just use them as desktop replacements) the new CPU;s may be a big deal.

But 7% for everyday usage is nothing for the desktop!

hey guys i have a quick question i currently have i7 950. i have about 4k budget on my next build. i was waiting on the ivy bridge buts its not really a big upgrade from sandy. my question to you guys are should i get a sandy- e 3930k and upgrade to a ivy-e when it comes out q4 2012 and use the same board. or should i wait till the ivy comes out in april, and after get the haswell in 2013. Im really waiting on pci 3.0 gpu cards.. thanks

im excited.

4k is a lot of money...............unless thats another currency.............

Repost this question in the "Hardware - CPUs & Components" or "Hardware - Systems" forums. You should get a lot of feedback.

Wait now, its 200% the performance of the HD 2000, not the 3000. The 2000 had half the cores of the 3000.

Then why bother with a 4000 to begin with for the 1%? Focus on CPU performance and TDP, not a sub-par integrated GPU solution that gives no benefit to people tying in word or excel.

[citation][nom]jsc[/nom]Me too. Is Ivy Bridge considered two or three generations beyond Yorkfield/Wolfdale?[/citation]

Yorkfield are Core 2 Quads, so 3 generations beyond.

[citation][nom]alidan[/nom]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 progressthere 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.[/citation]

?? Who is "they" and where's the link?

Maybe you confused AMD's Bulldozer "spouting off" with Intel's IB slides.. 😛

[citation][nom]Clonazepam[/nom]Idle watts from the wall of an i7-2600k at 4.6ghz, 1.33v and the gpus, comes in at 240-250ish watts. Turn on epu settings in the bios, and enable "green" power saving functions, and c1e, and everything, and have the cpu idling at reduced volts and a 1.6ghz clock brings the watt at the wall reading down to 230ish, despite hwmonitor indicating the cpu is using 70-90 watts less. I'm skeptical as to how much difference there will be in "reported" and "actual" power savings. So obviously, power savings won't mean anything in enthusiast rigs anyway, so I love the thought of this chip in a shiny new laptop when couch-surfing, if the price is right It's early, but I'm getting excited, even though I probably won't pony up the dough for one. I might. I really don't want to post on Tom's with the above rig. It's just gone online, so i'm nervously waiting for the next power bill. I think I calc'd a $25 / mo extra idle charge. A new tri-gate IB laptop at sub$1000 will pay for itself in power savings over time for a heavy Tom's fan / poster / troll like myself.[/citation]

sources noted that Intel has adjusted its Ivy Bridge processor capacity deployment and has increased the proportion for ultrabook and smartphone platforms. As for the traditional desktop and notebook segments, Intel will mainly supply high-end processors initially.

With vendors aggressively placing orders for Ivy Bridge-based ultrabook processors, some vendors are expected to be able to release their second-generation ultrabooks as soon as May with prices to also drop to around US$799-899.

Not very impressive improvements at all... the additional performance of the HD4000 caused most of the jumps the CPU is virtually unchanged. Just keep your current CPU & buy a Nvidia/AMD GPU...
