Rumour: Ivy Bridge 20% faster than sandy bridge??

This could be really interesting stuff. With a expected launch date around early 2012. Amd has really got there work cut out!!

if it is true then it will be worth the wait, and i will keep my i7-920 until then.

It should just be a die shrink to 22nm. Extra performance would also be great! Lets wait and see though.

1 year and only 20% faster?? not worth itfishing666

This is for Nahelam owners, thats 3yrs old by November 2011, a big boost.

Meh, I doubt it ocs very well.JigglyWiggly_

Looks like the gap between Intel and AMD widens. At 22nm, Intel can release some super low power CPUs to replace Atom, hopefully.

That sounds awesome, but I don't think I want to wait that long. I'll probably just go with sandy bridge/bulldozer from my conroe :)

thats why we chose i7' 920's and 930's at our house. 8 threads, 4 cores and apparently easy to OC. i figured programs were going for multicore instead of faster and faster cores. still i doubt i'll be upgrading by 2012 anyway, maybe 2013 (might have to be paying for kids by then ;)!!!!)

by then i still won't have kids lol, But as far as upgrading goes i'm most likly going to upgrade to an asus board and maybe get a gpu waterblock/Bay res for my system ;)

Very cool. That may be the tech that makes me upgrade from AM3/Phenom II. We shall see!

Thats if they can get working sandy bridge solutions out on the market by then.

IMO that doesn't count as "working."

Exactly. I am pretty sure that this Sandy Bridge fiasco is sending ivy bridge back a few months.

Where is all the uproar? Remember when the radeon 6970s were released it was "discovered" that there was a corner cut off of one of the power connectors as a design decisionand everyone here was disgusted yet, to date there have been no issues with any of these cards because of that.

Intel messes up so bad that they have to stop all sales and recall all these parts, and everyone is giving them a pat on the back.

I'm having a bigger problem with sandy bridge... my i7 2600 k only goes up to 4.44ghz stable, regardless of voltages :(JigglyWiggly_

This surely is a problem. lol

Asrock p67 extrem4, thermalright ultra 120x.

It's not a heat issue, it just won't boot into the OS at too high clocks. It also sometimes appears stable for LinX(Intel burn test equivelent) and stays stable for an hour, and running furmark at same time it's stable. Then like 15 min in BC2 BSOD.

At 4.44ghz it seems the most stable, 101 BCLK * 44

The auto settings in the BIOS for an auto 4.6 ghz did not work for me, but they did work for anandtech with ease.

OFC I am not really complaining, it's redic fast, my games run so much better than my old qx6700. BC2 used to be 30fps, now it's like 100fps. (My 2xgtx 460s eats my CPU, in some cases I got worse fps than my hd3870x2 because of that)

Jiggly, try these settings:

CPU multiplier: 48x

BCLK: 100

CPU Voltage: 1.35v

CPU PLL: 1.9v

VCCSA: 1.1v

VCCIO: 1.106v

Set you RAM voltage and frequency to whatever it stated on the RAM modules sticker.

Update your BIOS to the latest version and the clear the CMOS.

Turn on Load Line calibration (max setting if possible).

Turn off CPU & PCI-E spread spectrum.

Considering your reccomended multiplier is 48, I can't even get into Windows at 46, with 1.4 volts on the CPU with load line calibration at level 1. I have tried all those, except I never adjusted the VCCIO/VCCSA, will try that, maybe it'll do something.

looks promising but not waiting on it, unless bulldozer is terrible. Also, do you have a brother called Richard?emperorzhang66

Is that question to me?? If it is, no i don't have a brother called Richard. :)

I hope that I don't have to spend $1000 on the CPU to get one that is 20% faster.
