Anything & Everything Sandybridge

Just as I was saying awhile back, 1365 socket FTL on us 1366 socket mobo holders. :(

its funny because there are more than one pin in 1366 that is literally there for nothing. Just a money grab.

wow thats a total bs move by intel... now I think Ill just hold onto my classy and skip getting the R3E

I heard that...

Think I am done investing into 1366 .... may grab a cheap 930 since this 960 I just grabbed is a total POS ....

But you have to hand it to Intel ...

They are holding all the cards and untill the AMD camp can bring the mojo

The new Intel boards will fly off the shelves I am sure .....

It will represent the only viable option for Global domination (Evil Laugh)

What about the rumors that intel plans on retarding the Sandy Bridge so it can't run as fast as it's physically capable of?

That would be a marketing disater and finacial suicide IMO

AMD would have the upper hand for sure ....

I doubt Intel would be that stupid , as we are not where the majority is, as far as overall sales, but we do represent a market share and dominate their Extreme addition sales ....

Its pretty retarded at the moment but the mobo manufs are working to un-leash that performance, fear not, it will be released! :good:

Though they are the performance leader but Intel is evil, :P

Yup the inital design of the X58 had safety features too to prevent it from passing the 130TDP envelope. I think we can all see that was a bust :)

I know I'm done investing in 1366. AMD out! :clapping:

I posted this chart somewhere else awhile back but it got lost so here it is again as some of the information has been updated. :D

God I wonder how much they will rip us for that 8 core monster!!!

wow could be some epic wprime quads

20mb L3 cache is just retarded, all those calculations instructions occurring on the cpu before reaching out for room.

Good stuff here.

anand fails to talk about the little stuff...

but heck this i5-2400 is almost as good as the 980x.....sheesh 200$ is nice...a toy to play with once oc is good with the k series...

Hmmmm, don't know what to think of this. Are they selling ES Sandybridge systems already or what?

Man take a look at the results with this 2600k. Hoping I have enough saved by the time it drops. Would hate to be on the sidelines when this drops. :(

Theres a bunch of es chips in the wild right now, plenty. A couple euro-friends have a bunch in circulation and for sale.

I would rather see 25x200 :)

i can wait till jan5 :D

I wonder if the 2600k will be launched that day or if we'll have to wait for it a month or two down the line?

I cant wait for sandy

superpi/pf/aq3/05? will be obliterated with the imc on these

Is this efficiency real or is my math off this morning? In win7 to boot. :eek:

its real...

crazy... Imagine proper XP/03 server with tweaks. :eek: It's kinda scary how fast SB is looking. They better really have something special with socket 2011 to make it worth buying.

2011 is quad channel ddr3....imagine how much bandwidth that is....

i hope 2600k is under 800$

intel for sure is doing a 580gtx move on amd............

amd will introduce the bullozer...next year....but intel like nvidia made a gorilla move:D

Is that that amazing? (I know very little about 32M)
Other runs at that kinda time are 5.2-3 Not that much of a clockspeed difference? :/

Considering the ram MHZ, timings and the fact that is was ran on a win7 install obviously used to run a ton of other 2d/3d benches..... yes I would call it amazing.

chuch show georgie the computation ...i forget :(

Well here is Windwithme's run on the Biostar. Looks like Win7 with aero even enabled.

6m 41.467s - so convert that into seconds which is 401.467. Then multiply that by the CPU mhz which is 5120mhz.

401.467 * 5120 = 2055511


Basically that is blazing fast. That is amazing efficiency on X58 triple channel with hypers. Keep in mind when I say amazing on X58, I mean on XP or server03 fully tweaked out. This is just on win7 with aero enabled. Sub 2mil eff should be pie on some good hypers and proper OS.

2600k Review:

Other than benchmarks, what will these really be of benefit to one compared to what we now have?

Native sata III, heavy increase in IPC imo, lower power, maybe more cpu mhz.....

No, I mean in real life utilization...will one be able to game, surf, ect. any better than we now do? Heck, if nothing ever improved from what we have now I would still be satisfied... :taunt:

Probably not much I don't think. Personally I think computers are so fast vs software that the only reason to buy new stuff is if you happen to be in the market for a new rig or benching. I just don't see a new cpu/mobo giving you a noticeable difference. Money could be better spent on ssd's or video cards.

I think game play will be like being in a movie one day ..... it is already getting close to that.

Hope Crysis 2 pushes the envelope ..... many new titles, it does not seem like they are really going after it ...

I'm buying Crysis 2 regardless if the game sucks or not. I'll buy for the sole fact that they are trying to push the envelope of PC gaming.


Back on topic, Sadly there are only a few new titles that really utilize more than two cores. This is where SB will shine in these games. I think when more and more games come out that support quads and above the advantage is taken away. Just like in the little review that was posted. BFBC2 taxes 4 cores and by doing that SB is no better than current 45nm s1156 quads.

HW development begets software development.

Unfortunately HW Development also begets sloppy code writers that can make up for a lack of sophistication in their software by throwing straight MHz at it. A la Java and Flash based apps. But some games as well.

Honestly there really is no need to upgrade yet, but who can resist!! A good AM3/X58 setup is smokin right now :) I am sure P55 falls in there somewhere as well.
