Early Ivy Bridge Sample Tested

[M.Beier]

So what's the word on the street, 3770k going to be able to do 5.5GHz on ambient water? Last few "articles" I've read said the voltage has to be kept so low that 5GHz would be stretching it.

We listen at different streets if that is what you hear.

Well.... Ivy is around 10% more efficient than Sandy and uses around 10% less power doesn't it?

The world of OC is "Your mielage may vary." Intel have a viable product that is A/ better than their previous offerings and B/ introduces two major changes- 22nm and 3D transistors.

You're complaining about....what, exactly?

Nah man ~6% IPC
Consumption is about ~19-20% lower
Surface area is about 25% smaller

But wait on me buddy, posting an article on this soon, just been too busy last 40 hrs or so
