Great comparison, thanks for the effort

Good job intel on the die shrink, I know we shouldn't expect much but im surprised they didnt manage to get a little extra performance

Question I have a Gigabyte P67A-UD7-B3, unfortunately just got it but do not think I can keep it as few things came up so I may have to stick with my CHIV and 090T a little longer

BUT using the GB P67A UD7-B3 which is the better route at this time
2500K
or
3570K

They are pretty much the same price of $215 cnd (where I am), for all round use. I am guessing 3570K? I would love to figure a way I could keep the board just don't think I can at the moment... But if I can which is the better pick of these 2 alone as that's budget max

Performance-wise the 3570K is the best pick, if the price is ignored / the same. Overclock-wise you'll need good cooling to pump Ivy to the same level.
