Early Ivy Bridge Sample Tested

[Andrea deluxe]

Ivy Bridge gets 95W TDP, worse overclocker than Sandy Bridge





earlier rumoured TDP was 77w: Source

Is it true that the i5 3570K comes with 8Mb cache like this tab?If true I must grab one.

6Mb for the 3570K

[Nicklas0912]

To bad they hit 96c at 4.7Ghz with a Corsair H100

at air/water they cant oc that much, only on Dice/LN2!

Thx, I was wondering if that could be true because all of misleading information receveid earlier.
In the end for a gamer is useless changing it's 2600K.

Might wait for second revision CPUs/Haswell then! >.<

Can Sandy + Z77 = PCI-E 3.0?

No, you need an ivy bridge cpu to get PCI-E 3.0 on a Z77

No, I don't think it can. I was going to upgrade my X58 gaming rig to a Z77 rig with a 3770K, but not sure about anymore if Ivy Bridge is this hot. I would go for a 2600K right now, but I don't think you can have PCIe 3.0 with a SB CPU, so that kind of screws it up.

Do you guys think PCIe 2.0 x8 x8 would be a bottleneck for high end cards like 2 x GTX 680 or 2 x GTX 580? Would my current CPU (i7 920) at 4Ghz be a bottleneck for those cards?

I'd be OK with an Ivy Bridge setup at 4.5Ghz if it didn't run too hot, but I usually use Air Cooling, so I'm not even sure if that will be good enough at 4.5Ghz if the temps are reaching 96 degrees at 4.7Ghz with a Corsair H100.

[st0ned]

Mind something, only in one of this 3 situations IB is hotter then SB in the other two they have around the same temps ( if one is cooler then the other that should be IB ).

-Gaming
-Idle
-Full load

[El Mano]

So if I got it right, IB is hotter than SB because of the smaller die size.
Will this affect Haswell too? It's supposed to be even smaller, isn't it?

[st0ned]

Nop Haswell should have the same 22nm that IB has.

[RPGWiZaRD]

Please some1 tell us Intel can't have failed this much with Ivy, that people are concidering going with Sandy Bridge instead of Ivy (for those not owning a SB yet) is not a very good sight.

[bamtan2]

odd that 3770k TDP is higher than all the previous documentation. I wonder if the e3 xeons will also be hit.

it is possible that there is a lot of voltage variance in these chips, and the low volt ones will be e3 xeons. I doubt it, but I guess it is possible. so we may see 77W tdp ivy bridge chips yet. just not overclocking ones.

[eXa]

For a 24/7 OC machine i would easily go IB... It may run abit hotter but power consumption will be lower.

Will it really be lower though when starting to approach 4.5GHz+ clocks is the question as it seems that's whereabouts the temps also starts to climb quickly.

[paulbagz]

Thanks for replies above.

Sounds like we're going back to the hot old days of the Q66 with low OCs lol

The Virtu MVP feature looks usefull for increased FPS can the 2600K use Virtu MVP?

[radier]

Virtu MVP is just marketing stuff.

This can only be sad for the ones not having the chance to test it

[radier]

Some have test it:

[st0ned]

I'm not talking from the top of my head either

[c22]

radier would never get any sample from Intel as his prescience is very limited. He *thinks* he knows something, but it's a long way from there

He's the best at copy-paste the links to the publications of other's, but never get a chance to touch the hardware with his own hands, therefore lack of his own opinion

LOL if you guys can't wait for retail 3770K at local store

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Ivy-Br...item3f164e8f7f

maybe this 3770K is special one with 77w TDP that's why it's priced that high

Special?I don't think so. It also has 6Mb cache, it' the seller that doesn't know what he's selling

The stronger the igpu the stronger the boost
