Sandy Bridge: Preliminary Clocks Revealed?

**~~OhNoes!~~** · 07-09-2010, 06:10 PM

XFastest has posted preliminary clock speeds for the upcoming sandy bridge processors from Intel. Clocks are interesting; the i7 2600 at 3.4Ghz seems rather interesting if one takes into account the aggressive turbo I'm sure Intel would implement in sandy bridge. 4Ghz, anyone?

**Johnny87au** · 07-09-2010, 06:15 PM

Would be around 3.5 not 4ghz though.. the i7 2600 is that high end or low end cpu's? Any news on how it scales to say a i7 920 or 930? its obviously faster at default but how many cores?

**~~-Sweeper_~~** · 07-09-2010, 06:20 PM

this chart is purely for reference

the core i3/i5/i7 brand is starting to become strong, of course they'll keep it...

anybody saw SB running CB 10?

do all of these have integrated graphics?

the LGA1155 CPUs (2-4 cores) will replace clarkdale/lynnfield (LGA1156), not the higher end bloomfield/gulftown i7s

Is it known yet how much faster they will be?

**Johnny87au** · 07-09-2010, 07:21 PM

Hmm i swear i've read somewhere that sandybridge will replace the i7's ..hmmm "scratches head"

That's what I thought too.......

an hexa/octo-core version of SB will replace the current i7s, not the dual/quad-core models expected for early 2011

Minor speed improvements over Lynnfield clock 4 clock, but it will have an improved memory controller, AVX and should have better stock frequency (which should translate to good overclocks too).

A little info here, but plenty more if you look around.

Sandybridge is a micro-architecture and Core i7 is a brand. If Intel is happy with the current naming scheme they are not required to change it. The "Core" branding that started with Merom in 2006, changed to Core 2 and then Core i7. The i7 branding isn't even two years old. Certainly Sandybridge will replace the Nehalem architecture, but it doesn't require Intel replace the i7 branding. The certainly can if the need to, but it doesn't mean they will.

My confusion lies with the current socket situation, not the branding which I don't think will change.

This may be obvious to everyone else but I like to think type out loud.... after looking more into it, I think Sandy Bridge on the LGA1155 socket will initially replace LGA1156 and then probably down the line replace LGA1366 with LGA1356. My basis for that reasoning is the motherboards that have been shown off so far. The P67, H67, Q67, etc. that we have seen so far with the LGA1155 have been dual channel with onboard video yadada so just like the current LGA1156 stuff. I would expect X68, or whatever replaces the X58 chipset, for the new enthusiast level stuff to have triple channel memory setups. Since we have not seen that yet, therefore Sandy Bridge is just LGA1156 replacement for now.

We shouldn't exchange these CPUs with the high-end.

We get performance and mainstream CPUs in this round, but high-end Sandy Bridge is expected much later, in Q3 2011 according to current info.

**PatRaceTin** · 07-10-2010, 01:30 AM

1155 = BCLK 100 = more multi = expect more fun overclocking

any news of 1366 replacement? (1567?)

**FlanK3r** · 07-10-2010, 01:53 AM

4c/8t 8MB l3 cache and the "same" 4c/8t 6MB ???? Disabled some cores in 8MB l3 version???

disabled cache*

Intel does this a lot, nothing new here, move along.

**informal** · 07-10-2010, 02:49 AM

These things have the iGPU right? The TDP should be 95W,even for the 3.4Ghz 8T model?

**haylui** · 07-10-2010, 02:52 AM

SB vs fastest i7 on market and it could render CB10 30 seconds faster?

fastest i7 refers to i7 980x or i7 975?

**informal** · 07-10-2010, 02:55 AM

We have been over that topic before...

The 720p version of the video shows a time of 44 seconds an apparently
a score of 19641 for Sandy Bridge. This puts the Sandy Bridge in the
range of an i7 975 / i7 965.

The 64 bit version of Cinebench 10 is used.

just wonder how could it be faster than the other demo machine by such a huge margin
according to the Coolaler leak of SB early benchmark, it is about 10~15% faster than Nehalem

**mAJORD** · 07-10-2010, 03:26 AM

Possibly may have been a Performance / Watt comparison using a core i7M chip @ something like 2ghz, Vs SB at 3ghz or so

**informal** · 07-10-2010, 03:35 AM

Mobile chips is a good guess since their "top of the line i7" doesn't score anywhere close to the actual top of the line i7 in CB10(and I mean QC not Gulftown)...

**IDANPE** · 07-10-2010, 03:42 AM

the video is on a mobile platform SB vs 920XM...
