"Core i3 3240 remains fastest i3 until Q1 13"
http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/28884-core-i3-3240-remains-fastest-i3-until-q1-13
so... for single player offline gaming with a strong gfx card, this is the cpu to beat.

what ? faster i3 other than 3.4ghz version
are they planning for a limited unlocked i3
10x.multipliyer unlocked i3 will blow away many amd

Not really... There are Core i5's you know. Besides, the Core i3-3240 is not a good buy. The 3220 is only slightly slower but significantly cheaper.

in short, i said.... the gaming cpu to beat... geddit?

looks like ivy bridge core i3 is doing just fine

ivy bridge core i5's are also doing fine
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i5-ivy-bridge_7.html#sect0
strange thing in the core i5 roundup, in the app perf section, the core i5 3570k could keep up with the fx 8150 in the second pass of video encoding. although archiving and encrypting scaled with the number of integer units....

overclocking the partially locked i5 are good. downsides - higher vcore on load, higher temperatures. dunno if using lower vcore is possible.

Looks like it's the Core i5-3570k that is the gaming CPU to beat.

ultrabooks still suck... 😗

The CM GeminII cheats a little by cooling on the sides as well, but it's an overall good HSF. I had it before the TT Frio and when pushed near the 140W my PhII can produce, it's really not enough. I wasn't able to go past the 3.7Ghz and power saving, whereas the TT Frio is at 3.9 with power savings and 1.45v.

Anyway, thanks for the Microcenter tip, bro. I'll go check that out right away.

Cheers!

Load temps are the ones that matter.

I know, it's just the start of comparing...
relax.

it can be a pc based on i7-3960x + maximus extreme + hd7990 crossfire 😀
or maybe 😀 😛 (you already have the idea 😉 )

i am pleased, i was going for a 3450 but this was looking at me in the store with those "take me home" puppy dog eyes . .

as much as i love the i3-2120 for general purpose and gaming, i got this to edit and encode videos for a web site. i'll admit i am impatient; i'd rather not wait 5-10 minutes to see if i made a mistake in fades and transitions or the audio out of sync if i can cut that down to 3-5 minutes.

i under volted it and doesn't go past 1.0 volts @3.4Ghz while testing in prime95 with the temps just hitting 70c on the stock heatsink; wondering about getting another aftermarket heatsink but i don't think it is an issue ATM.

it screwed up my upgrade strategy of getting a gpu first than cpu, but it opened the door of talking a guy at work into buying my 550ti and i3 to upgrade his kids' box; putting that towards a gpu might end up a better way to go

thanks for asking.

no posts past 10-20-2012, yet the index say there are additional posts?

 

[-Fran-]

It because of recent spamming bots posting here. They've been deleted so it messes up the board.

They're a pest.

Anyway, I think I'll post some numbres once I get the i5 3570k home.

Cheers!

 

[skitz9417]

hey what intel haswell what socket will it use

 

[skitz9417]

ok thanks proffect

 

[Overy1970]

i think it is good enough for studying matrial

 

[Overy1970]

thanks to all of you friends for share this nice information

 

[-Fran-]

Well, some initial numbers for the i5 3570k:

I'm pushing Guild Wars 2 at 140 FPS (i7 2700k 4.4Ghz + GTX670 + Lucid) and GF is pushing it at 180FPS (i5 3570k 4.4Ghz + 7970 + Lucid).

Cheers! 😛

 

[wh3resmycar]

anybody here who has an i3 3220 ? compared to a q6600, it has to be faster right?

 

[-Fran-]

Well, I disabled the Virtu software and made a little run in Guild Wars 2 to get some numbers.

With: 100-122 FPS
Without: 108-110 FPS

I ran in the same area, so these numbers should be under the same conditions. I don't know why the Virtu numbers are more spread, but that's what I saw. They were jumping all around, but never fell below 100. The area had lights (sunshafts) and a lot of grass. For those with the game, this is the Charr newb area (Plains of Ashfor), in the camp to the left of the Catacombs instance/waypoint.

I'll see with the GFs PC in a few hours, since we gotta go out in a few minutes.

Heh, this is fun 😛

Cheers!

Lucid doesn't reduce the framerate. It actually increases the reported framerate (by cutting short calculation on some frames, which are still counted), but the real performance isn't really changed.
