[NEW STUFF] Intel LGA1155

[saaya]

I'll go even further and say IF intel manages an average of ~15% increase in IPC over same clocked(same turbo ability) clarkdale,than it's a success as far as the "significant IPC increase" story goes. Intel claimed,back in February,a 20% increase on unnamed workloads(may very well be a mix of computational and 2D/3D GPU heavy application),over same clocked arrandale/clarkdale chips.

pff, they claimed the same for clarkdale over wolfdale, actually way more, they claimed ~50% performance boosts back then... and for nehalem they did the same vs yorkfield... those are all best case scenarios...

come on, its not gonna happen... whats the last time we have seen a 20% ipc boost over a previous gen cpu? the original a64 did it and conroe did it, and they only managed that because the previous gen they used was outdated and sucked and the new arch was doing above average. and in both cases it was a mayor effort from intel and amd to get those new archs out. sandybridge is a small stepstone for intel, its not a mayor new arch...

...

wow, so many temp probes... and it can display the current power consumption? neat!!!

65W tdp? must be because its ES...
no turbo boost? same i guess... or maybe early bios?
lowest multi is 16x? and it cant drop every second clock to get down to 800mhz?
why are there two 3.3v readings?
whats vccp2? uncore?

I'm confused.
Is sandy bridge just a tweak/core upgrade from nehalem? With minimal clock/clock performance increase?

Like i7 was to Yorkfield, no improvement in realtime single core apps.

My emulators demand something newer than the performance levels of 6 year old chips. We are WAAAY overdue for a real increase.

itll have better turbo modes, hopefully, so that will help with single threadded apps... somewhat...
the next real ipc increase will be haswell, 22nm... thatll be a mayor step... and bulldozer from amd, which will probably come out first, but itll be on 32nm so even if its good intel should catch up pretty fast with haswell on 22nm...

on intels latest public roadmaps it shows sandybridge as the next step on 32nm right?
after that comes ivybridge at 22nm and then haswell at 22nm.
haswell is a really revamped architecture... sandybridge and ivybridge are just that, bridges, to that revamped arch...
they are all tweaks of the original Yonah archicture that replaced netburst.
