Guys, I must say I dont know whether to be dissapointed yet. I realize there is a SLIGHT possibility that the Retail Boxed Stepping will have slight improvements in tri gate voltage control and temps. I AM PRAYING bc honestly I was very excited for my next Ivy Bridge build seeing how I am one of those few that skipped out on Sandy Bridge. I am kinda kicking myself for not building SB when I wanted to last year.
But something small that I noticed in the TweakTown article on OC'ing IB.
We all saw the infamous skyrocketing 98*C temp on the 4.8 GHz es stepping 3770k, but if you look at the same chart, the 3570k CPU @ 4.6 GHz only hits about 76*C on the same cooling. Any ideas here? Hyperthreading? Would HT cause 20*C differential??? I am so confused as to what to do right now. Buy SB, buy IB, wait another year for Haswell. If I wait another year I wouldnt have upgraded my rig for almost 4 years now, and that is a record for me. What are your thoughts guys? Another small thing I noticed was a gentleman on xtremesystems with a 3770k retail chip (he wouldnt release details bc of NDA) but he said the Tweaktown article is potentially skewed or glitched possibly because of the difference in ES and retail stepping, and his 3770k is about 20*C cooler on high end air. So many different results here but I am still a little dissapointed with the initial results on tweaktown. I also understand the clock to clock performance will make up for a slight 10% of clockspeed differences but that is not enough to satisfy my needs. I guess it is all just a waiting game for NDA lift and retail reviews.
Current rig is i7-920 @ 4.59 GHz.
