  • plz what good sandy bridge ore i7 2600k ? plz send me message ?

  • @shirake100 i bought a i7 2600k 3 weeks ago it works great i have it oc'd at 5ghz with water cooling, although as of right now the i5 2500k preforms just as good in gaming modes, but in a year when more complex games come out the i7 2600k will have better performance. if u buy a i7 2600k at new egg right now u get a free copy of battlefield 3 which i missed out on :(.

  • AMD/ATI is cool

  • Sandy bitch ftw

  • Sandy Bridges perform better by 10% clock for clock and the have newer instruction sets which kill the 960 in video decoding. In gaming no real benefit. Either processor will handle anything with ease but each have advantages, like 960 has triple channel support, sandy bridge don't!

  • So What Is Better ? INTEL Core i7-2600K (Sandy) 4x 3,4 GHz or INTEL Core i7-960 4x 3,2 GHz

  • If the algorithm is the same, the picture outcome should also be … this is marketing shit :/

  • ok to all you retards who thought the second gen encoded that 1080p file ON ITS OWN without any help it DID NOT it was using quick sync which essentially reduces the 1080p to like 360p to get it done faster without quick sync it would have taken the same time as the 1st gen i7 sorry intel u dont fool me and the second gen is obviously underclocked i expect a pentium 4 to perform like the first gen i7 did BS INTEL

  • Sandy Balls anyone?

  • @LakoonPlay Yes sandy with no balls.

  • the new sandy bridge isnt meant to compete with x58 i7, the new processors coming in later this year (lga 2011, sandy bridge- extreme) will be better than the old i7 x58. 2600k is competitive against everything up to a 960x, the ones above that are 6 cores and are better in every way, except price

  • @dirty1smelly1turban how is it not meant to compete. in gaming the 2600k sandy bridge OUT performs a 980x and 990x. by a small and sometimes 25% margin. the ONLY things the 980x 990x beat the 2600k in is encoding and transcoding video. to me..even if it DOES win in encoding a dvd to my ssd or hdd. im still NOT going to spend 5 or more hundred on someting that gets beaten in gaming performance. to each his own. and unless you're doing massive multitasking. no need for 6 cores yet.

  • @chronofusion you didn't understand what i meant. i meant that INTEL didnt make the sandy bridge series to compete to the i7 extreme series. irl, it does, but intels plan was to make sb competitive to anything up to i7, then the sb-extreme to compete with the i7 extreme. it is better, but it isnt on the same level of designated usage (as in value, mainstream, premium and extreme). and you are right about the fact that we dont need 6 cores YET, AS OUR SOFTWARE IS NOT USING ALL OF THEM. CONTINUED

  • @chronofusion comparing the sb platform to the x58 with the 990x (which if you search around you will find that 2600k ISN'T better, and the 990x is slightly faster but still not worth it due to price), you have more options. the processors (generally) arent as fast and cost a shitload on the x58 platform, but the motherboards, gpu and ram is better. more ram, more sli, and better options/ stability for the mobos. i right now have an i7 950 on asus rampage 3 extreme. planing to build a 2600k pc

  • @dirty1smelly1turban except the 975, that'

    s 4 cores

  • @lostny11 true.

  • is the 2nd gen intel core i5 a dual core or a quad core?

  • @d4rkfuzion all quad

  • @d4rkfuzion both i think

  • Before I start thinking about putting together a new system I am going to wait for the 2011 SandyBridge to come out.

  • @cfcreative1 same :D

  • Yup.

    One core from i7-2600 has almost twice the amount of processing power than the i7-920 to i7-960 - 80ish single core. Yet the i7-2600 wont ever support quad-core with 12 threads.. (Correct me if I'm wrong) whereas the latest i7-980X and i7-990 fully support 12 threads, 6 cores (I think) and the i7.2600 cant only ever reach 4 cores MAX...pity

  • @PCGamer21stCentury not twice the ammount!! clock or clock its only like 10%!

  • @PCGamer21stCentury all 2600 are 4 core 8 thread CPUs and the 1155 socket can't handle a 6 core CPU anyway so you just have to wait for the 2011 socket CPUs expected to be released alongside Sandy Bridge-E in Q4 2011

  • @6h0stshadow 2011 IS sandy bridge-E

  • @dirty1smelly1turban "...just have to wait for the 2011 socket expected to be released alongside Sandy Bridge-E in Q4 2011" that is how it was supposed to be... sry

  • @6h0stshadow np. from what i understand is they are referring to the socket as a socket, not the name of the cpu. the cpu will be sb-e and the socket will be lga2011

  • The difference in colors makes no sense, bunch of crap. But yes, they are faster.

  • @Novinte that is just probably an issue withe the projectors...

  • Amd processors are gays!!

  • what a load of bullshit

  • @FluidViscosity101 dude its true...so true the intel core i7 (2010) was clocked UNDER 1.3ghz and the 2nd gen chip was clocked at 2.8ghz+...intel must think that we're stupid source: i was there

  • Soo is this processor out know?

    Does the i7 2670 have the sandy beige tech ? B/c I want to buy a laptop, should i get one know or wait a year to get the next best thing?

  • It is strange that i7 2600k price is 280 euro, and i7 980x price is 800 euro, but 2600k is faster and better, so i7 980x really suck, twice and half more expensive that i7 2600 but sandy is really better, only idiot buy 980x with suck in price, really i dont understand this in intel that cheaper things are better, but i am verry happy, becouse i have i7 2600k oc to 4,6 ghz, which is best CPU in the world !!! SANDY BRIDGE RULE, BEST CPU OF ALL TIME, AMD REALLY SUCK TOO!!!

  • @TheQARK Core i7 970, 980x and 990x are 6 core CPUs and if u think a 2600k will beat any of them clock per clock... well yeah they just won't and this stupid LGA1155 socket is such a bottle neck, making it impossible for intel to roll out the big guns like CPUs with 6 cores and even 8 cores =/

  • @6h0stshadow WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! CORE I7 2600K PERFORMS AS MUCH AS THE 980X AND IN SOME CASES ITS BETTER AND IN SOME CASES A BIT SLOWER BY LIKE 1-5 SECONDS. ALSO INTEL IS MAKING A 6 CORE VERSION AROUND Q4 2011 AND BESIDES INTEL SAID THE 8 CORE AREN'T FOR CONSUMERS AS OF NOW SO SHUT YOUR MESSED UP AMD BRAIN!

  • @FsimulatorX whats with the all caps?

    anyway I know that intel will be selling the 6 core models at the end of the year.. but those will be launched with the 2011 socket supporting a lot higher bandwidth and 4 lanes of memory...

    and about the 2600k intel isn't ****ng stupid they wont sell you a CPU that out preforms a 1000$ CPU for 300$ if you run a 980x and a 2600k at the identical clock speeds you will see that the 6 core will easily win in performance

  • @6h0stshadow Wtf dude are you retarded? 2600K is much better even than 990x !!! So yeah intel is so stupid that create 300 euro cpu better than 1000 euro, but its good that is so stupid, very good !!!! So intel is competitor himself not amd !

  • A 990x will OC much further than a 2600k will, and be a heck of a lot stabler while it's at it.

    The 2600k is barely stable at stock speeds with its stock cooler, so I would go for the 990x if i had the money. Unfortunately I don't :)

    If you're only planning to game though, the 2600k will provide roughly the same performance. If you want to use it to render, go with the 990x.

  • probably the pictures is photoshop-ed... so its different

  • I need to amd laptop ; P

  • Esto si es velocidad !

  • combining the cpu and gpu only makes sense in mobile devices

  • Sandy bridge are awesome processor, but Intel really pissed me off with sandy bridge sata 2 flaw !!!! Otherwise are SB best procesors ever !!!

  • I decided to buy AMD no matter what... because of intel endless sockets... fuck off intel

  • This clip reminded me of my friend who is a salesman, he was selling water saving shower heads that had really shitty pressure, so he took out the restricter on the water saver display head and restricted the drain on the regular heads tub to make the display appear to be using less water on the water saver head wile having the same pressure.. never trust a salesman, I'm sure the new i7 is good but this presentation seems unrealistic of the 1st gen i7. But Wow if true, it's unbelievable.

  • can't believe it. its true, the speed difference is insane. I checked out the spec sheets on AnandTech, and the 2630qm can turbo boost up to 2.6ghz in quad mode compared to my 720qm 1.73 O.o

  • Yea its a strategy to get people to buy this 2nd gen cpu.. Its better to upgrade your haddrive to SSD. Don't waste your money people!!

  • @nicksworld25 its tru i've done benchmarkin and the 1st gen came ahead of the 2nd gen in many cases..its just a gimmick

  • @simranjeet36 not it isn't, the processors that were just released are only the consumer-end of the first half of the Sandy Bridge Microarchitecture, it allows what we consider high end performance to be approach at a much cheaper price, the i7 2600k has been shown to go toe to toe with the best stuff out there and it's only $329

  • @Salanmon dude...im just saying that any re release of an i3 i5 and i7 e.g. sandy bridge are not a worthy upgrade over a 1st gen i3 i5 or i7 (i dont want to fight)

  • @simranjeet36 your notion was that 2nd Gen was a gimmick which doesn't make sense, if you're trying to upgrade from something like a i7 960 then it isn't worth it, but anything from the i7 800 series the difference should be fairly clear. Sandy Bridge just got started, if the value CPUs can approach the high end stuff of 1st gen imagine it's higher end stuff late this year and all that is just the 1st half of this generation.

  • @Salanmon dude my friend had an i7 800 series and he upgraded to a i7 2600k and saw only a increase of like 10-15% he returned it and the money he got a new gtx 580 :) but i wont upgrade my i5 760 for a long time

  • @simranjeet36 I admit I got the numbering system confused, a high end i7 800 series does beat out a low end i7 900. so granted something like a i7 870 wouldn't need an upgrade. that said the i7 2600k almost always is on the top 3 in benchmark tests out of all of intels CPUs despite being a value Cpu

  • @Salanmon Benchmark tests are not the same as real-world application usage. SB might be good for me who is still stuck on Core 2 Duo but for i7 users, not worth the money. And the on-die GPU that is so hyped up can't be used on desktops if you have a discrete graphics card installed.

    That is so stupid. This means that if I want to use SB's GPU, I can't use any ATI or Nvidia cards. See the problems here. I also can't overclock on H67 motherboards that use the on-die GPU.

  • @pratt123 what good would SB GPU be when you have a Geforce 400/500 series GTX or Radeon HD 6950 installed? the SB's GPU is meant for somewhat competent video processing without the need for a dedicated

    card which does have some appeal, remember these are mainstream processors

  • @Salanmon First of all, it doesn't have to be a HD 6950 or high-end GTX card. NO discrete cards can be used with SB GPUs.

    Second, you don't care about switchable graphics? I would love the option of switching between the SB GPU to save power and back to the discrete card for games and heavy media processing. Short-sighted for Intel to not include this option.

  • @pratt123 your monitor will probably connect the GPU some power is gonna be need to display an image, is the power usage between a decent GPU while doing normal web surfing and intel's GPU doing normal web surfing plus the separate GPU doing display that big a difference? hardly anyone switches between their GPU and on board video/graphic processing anyways, IMO not an option wroth slamming Intel over

  • @Salanmon Actually, yes it is. There is a significant power difference (and noise difference). Not to mention the card will last longer if you only use it when you need it.

    And SB's GPU is supposed to be good enough to replace entry-level graphics cards. So it should have a switching option. If a key feature is the awesome on-die GPU, then don't force people with good GPUs into making this feature useless for them. Damn stupid of Intel.

    IMO I don't think you know what you are talking about.

  • @pratt123 it's still a feature most won't use i'm not saying it wouldn't be nice, I would love line out on my Sansa Fuze (Mp3 player) but no ones gonna use it, does that make sandisk stupid for not putting it in? The GPU isn't hyped to be anything more than a competent GPU on the CPU

  • @Salanmon Says you. Lots of people would love to use switchable graphics. The power modes can be integrated with turning on/off the dedicated graphics card so the Intel GPU can be used. There are LOTS of uses for switchable graphics.

    Your MP3 player example is deceiving. Not enough people demand that feature but this is a state-of-the-art CPU from Intel we are talking about. If they are going to brag on and on about their GPU (and they did), then it should be usable for people with GPU cards.

  • its all relative...;P

  • It's not a GPU based encoding, it's a built in HW h.264 encoder. Btw. try to imagine the entire CPU with only 1 core and no GPU...sooo small...they have to sell you something...

  • Pluarel are tricky hard to tame... I dont care and I detest this commercial. Shut up.

  • No me creo la diferencia que muestran en el video 

  • he also didn't mention what 2nd gen processor was used.

  • @ vckollavidura ok, that changes things then. I don't even think most BD disk have a 30mb bit rate. But he didn't mention the file size. Right off the bat I can tell you I can encode a 13gb (18mb bit rate) 1080p MKV file to say the original video except in avi in like 2 hours and a few extra minutes with my 720qm (remind u this is a mobile processor so the desktop i7 should blow the doors off mine). I find it hard to believe the 2nd gen i7 has that much of a speed difference.

  • Yea, I don't believe this at all. I have an i7-720qm in my laptop and I can convert 30mb in no time at all. I think this is just a strategy to get more people to buy the 2nd generation i7s.

  • @Xellon100 its not 30 mb

    its a vid wit a bit rate of 30mb/s

  • faster yes but im sure they always compare video encoding, one with a gpu on chip and the other without it... so of course it makes the i7 look slow and yes it is that much slower at encoding/transcoding but who would do that without a gfx card BEFORE sandy bridge?

  • Look s like ssd on right and a regular HD on the left

  • @Bands1999

    I know right? LOL!

  • what will happen to nvidia and ATI then?

  • I really dont like the integrated card thing. I invision a future where people are forced to upgrade their cpu in order to get a better gpu as there will be no more discrete graphic cards. This would mark the end of my game rig building hobby.

  • how does the sandy bridge run against nvidia geforce 320m?

  • @xdbuix

    Sandy Bridge IGP versus a 320M?

    It can beat it.

  • when you want to make a tv look better in the store you push the blue up a bit and if you pull the blues back you see more red which is hard on the human eye. Can anyone else see the sales team at work here

  • somethng is skewed here... i bet my i7 will slap this sandy bridge around in the performance dept..

  • @racingisfun I guess this means you are using a Westmere-based Gulftown CPU, such as the Core i7 980X. Please tell me I am correct; the Core i7 2600K pwns all the previous i7s, except the six-core ones.

  • @skydragon8525 6 cores running at 4.5ghz... i doubt a cheap sandy bridge will have any competition on it =/

  • @racingisfun sandy bridge beats i7 950 and all the D0/C0 Based i7 even if clocked equally at 4ghz, and and sandy bridge is only behind the 980x by about 2000 points in most bench marks

  • @skydragon8525

    The 2600K can beat the Core i7-980X quite a few times actually, it truly is an incredible processor.

  • I havent even moved to core i anything little lone second gen. does this need a different mobo to first gen i7?

  • ppl wouldnt need new cpus if they just ran linux >.>

  • I pitty my i5 now :\

    But still i'll hold to it for quite a while!

  • Sorry Intel, but you'll never replace my nVidia graphics.

  • @Galastin Nope, but ATI will ;)

  • @incredibad1 ati doesnt exist, amd bought it:0

    Say amd will.

  • @Galastin ATI/AMD will

  • This is how Intel became greedy, they want the whole market - both cpu and GPUs!

  • @SuperEvilSquid

    LGA1356 was canceled. LGA2011 will replace LGA1366 and LGA1567.

    LGA1155 will be announced on the 6th Jan, and released on the 9th.

    From Wikipedia: The land grid array (LGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging for integrated circuits (ICs) that is notable for having the pins on the socket rather than the integrated circuit. An LGA can be electrically connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) either by the use of a socket or by soldering directly to the board.

  • intel, there is something call CUDA core from nvidia.... dude

  • @altu892

    CUDA isn't as fast as Quicksync, no where near.

  • wow  faster

  • WTH?! It looks like 2-year-old Core i7 is getting older....

  • The war against the GPU has begun!

  • @Capeau No. These chips and the AMD "Fusion" chips are targeting business users. They're not designed, nor will they be designed, to match a discrete graphics solution. You have been the victim of advertising.

  • @mhaneline

    actually they do. you'll see, no need to start another useless discussion about this... time will tell ;)

    peace

  • @Capeau No. This is specifically designed and targeted for business users to enhance business and design applications. It's not for gaming. The gaming performance will always be tailored to match the low-end discrete market. Anything you think you might know on the contrary is simply marketing and advertising.

  • @mhaneline

    @Capeau

    off course off course... thats why they demoed it running starcraft2 (at idf 2010) and some other game i dont remember at computex.

    Wanna talk false marketting and advertising then have a closer look at nvidia.

    bye

  • @Capeau Having trouble using the internet?

    Off course? Yes, you are way off course.

    The fact that you're defending integrated graphics proves you know just about dick. It's going to be great when you buy your fusion chip and you're forced to run low settings on any game that is gpu intensive (starcraft 2 is not gpu intensive in the slightest. it's a blizzard game, duh?).

    I don't want to talk false marketing and advertising. I want to talk about you being brainwashed by it. Actually no I don't

  • @mhaneline

    dude... sc2 not gpu intensive? i own the game and its VERRY gpu intensive.

    It is even pretty well know that it fries your gpu if you dont watch out.

    You clearly are the one who really does know nothing about this subject.

  • @Capeau No blizzard game is GPU intensive. That's what they're known for. That's a big reason why World of Warcraft is so huge, you don't have to have a good video card to play it. This is where I shut you up with facts:

    128 MB PCIe NVIDIA® GeForce® 6600 GT or ATI Radeon® 9800 PRO video card (notice how old these cards are?)

    "We've seen that StarCraft II is a CPU-limited title.."

    "True to Blizzard Entertainment form, StarCraft II doesn't need a lot of horsepower to deliver attractive visuals.

  • @mhaneline

    Have you actually played starcraft at lowest settings (needed for those cards you named)?

    I guess not because it looks awefull and the intel demo was AT LEAT running at medium settings.

    But hey dont take my word for it, i've only been working in the 3d and visual effects industry for 10 years. So what do i know eh.

    

  • @Capeau What do you know? Nothing, if you think fusion chips are going to compete with discrete graphics. 3d and visual effects don't have anything to do with computer hardware technology, sorry.

    Go to the newegg channel and listen to the Intel rep tell you that the integrated graphics are designed to accelerate business and design apps. Then, come back here and tell me how revolutionary fusion/sandy-bridge is and how "the war against the GPU has begun", you fucking lemming.

  • @mhaneline

    you're an idiot.

  • @Capeau Your opinion of me doesn't change the fact that I'm correct. Sorry.

  • @mhaneline

    man you must be really frustrated. educate yourself before trying to sound like a smart ass. Youre making a fool of yourself, really

  • @Capeau I've given you facts. You've given me nothing. Just the fact that you think integrated graphics will take over discrete graphics is funny as hell. It shows just how little you understand about hardware. The fact that you haven't gone over to the newegg channel and listened to the Intel tech specifically tell you what the chips are for only proves that you're an ignorant and stubborn person who doesn't care what the truth really is. Me, frustrated? No, I'm laughing at your ignorance. Nub.

  • @mhaneline

    whatever, i have better things to do than wasting my time with clueless kids like you

  • @Capeau Attacking me won't make you less wrong.

    Apparently, you haven't looked at the benchmarks yet (3dmark scores lower than a 6600gt, which is 7 generations old!!). It's amazing how you talk and talk without knowing the facts. You simply refuse to acknowledge that you were wrong. Man up, stop being a little bitch about it. Just say "ok fuck, I was wrong my bad".

  • @mhaneline

    you need a shrink really

    no more replies from me... time will tell ;)

  • @Capeau benchmarks, read them. attacking me is childish, and only serves to discredit your position.

    This quote from Anandtech pretty much destroys you.

    "Sandy Bridge's graphics perform like a low end discrete part, not an integrated GPU. In this case, we're about 10% faster than a Radeon HD 5450".

    End of story.

  • @Capeau

    off course off course... thats why they demoed starcraft2 (at idf 2010) and some other game i dont remember at computex.

    bye

  • @Capeau seriously.. with what? entry level of sb against discrete cards, won't even pinch

  • @Capeau

    how so cus it can encode video ? its still going to suck major on games. not to mention its going to eat into your system ram, for video ram.

  • @ScopedMach1ne

    read all my comment.

    It using system ram and not video ram is a GOOD thing!

  • @Capeau Not really. The fact that you can't use this GPU with dedicated GPU cards means that people will continue to require demanding cards for intensive applications (games, anyone?). If you can't use both at the same time, then the dedicated GPU is always preferred.

    As for this "war", it started years ago when Intel put the GPU on package (not on-die) with the CPU.

    When both GPUs can be used at the flick of a button, that is when lower-end graphics cards are doomed. Not before this.

  • @pratt123

    I didnt say the gpu is doomed (yet). I sayed the was has started, not who has won!

    Btw, the war against the dedicated gpu has begun indeed years ago (when intel started to work on larrabee), but it is only now that intel is making important steps forward.

  • @Capeau i7 2600: under 150 Gigaflops; Price: about $300

    GTX 560ti: over 1200 GFlops; Price: $250

    :D

  • @BadButNotSad

    And your point? :|

    Try running windows on your gtx 560ti, or even notepad, or word, or .... ;)

  • @BadButNotSad

    Theoretical performance with certain types of code, thank you.

  • That use different Software Version that Software in Sandy bridge is Never than in i7.

  • i am pc gamer i have i7 950 now theyre making it look slow fail? i think my gtx 570 beats shit out of their integrated gpus

  • @JooJoniJoo thats on a laptop for your information. So its compared to an i7 mobile not desktop.

    Also Desktop CPU's and GPU's are rebranded and given slower clocks and put into laptops.

    Therefore desktops always turn out powerful than laptops. So don't ever compare them!

  • I have a friend in youtube PWANMENT or something and he sad that he did a benchmark of i7 875k vs i7 2600k and the i7 875k almost won all the games!!!and in here they did i7 875k vs i7 2600k not even i7 920!!this is suck for desktop and gamers!!!the LGA2011 That's going to be beast but for now this i7 wont make a different!

  • My Gaad.. That's FASStttt

  • So....if i want to buy core i7 980x dont wait for SandyBridge?!

    just buy i7 980x?! does the sandybridge will performe better?!HELP!

  • @dani41396 sandy bridge is most useful for a laptop because it doesn't dry up batteries like i7's do

  • @dani41396

    In Q1 of 2011, Intel will release the 990X model. This will be the last LGA1366 processor. In Q2 or Q3, Intel will replace it with the Sandy Bridge version. It will require a new motherboard as it uses LGA1356 socket. (No, it is not backward compatible!)

  • what a load of bs theres no way core i7's currently are this slow there just trying to sell there new chips ..............

  • does this new chip have a gpu on it also ?

  • @j7x54

    There are two major versions of Sandy Bridge.

    * Budget/Mainstream/Workstation and Notebook => Has IGP.

    * Enthusiast/Performance/Server => Does NOT have IGP.

  • Bullshit... Everybody knows damn well the current Core i7's aren't that slow. No proof as well. You know for sure they were using a Pentium Dual-Core on that shit...

  • @SimplyCarLo No, even with an i7 it will take a while encode an 80Gigabyte sourcefile. Nobody ever said that the Sandy is that much faster btw, it's just a lot more efficient at certain tasks.

  • @noxure: So, you're saying it's pointless to upgrade to the Sandy Bridge?... Ok! Done deal. I'm sticking with my current i7 then. That's all I needed to hear...

  • i dont get it... helppppp! is sandy bridge gonna be faster? is sandy bridge the new name? or is it still called core i7?

  • @johnchen0213

    They'll still call a lot of them Core i7s and Core i5s.

  • @johnchen0213

    Sandy bridge is going to be called i3 i5 and i7 like the current models.

    However, you can tell the difference between Sandy and the current processors, but the model number. Model number of Sandy-bridge is 2xxx (like i3 2120, i5 2500 etc). In other words sandy-bridge uses 4-digit, and the first digit is 2

  • Where they using an old Core2 chip and crappy GPU? It's way too obvious something was crippled on purpose because the i7 line is NOT that slow! >:C

  • hey how does that laptop really come with sandy bridge CPU? u guys got idea what that laptop brand is?

  • Dont do this to Core i7, it's not slow.(They show Core i7 in this video like super slow;how can they =.=)

  • @xxxxxls2 fast is sh!t compared  to faster!!

  • @xxxxxls2 yea.. 30 MB does not take that long on a stock core i7 920.. bs!!!

  • @xxxxxls2

    Sandy Bridge has two major advantages over the current Core i7 series.

    (1) Supports AVX instructions. => Shown by the photo app demo.

    (2) Built-in transcoding hardware. => Shown by the video transcode demo.

    Overall, its 10% faster than today's Core i7 series. (Using non-optimised AVX software or transcoding software.)

    Of course, Intel is also working on the successor called Ivy Bridge. This comes in 2012 and doubles the execution units of its IGP. (Supports OpenCL/DirectCompute.)

  • @aussiebear22 well i upgraded my pc a year ago to lga 1156 socket to i7 -860 and know this it makes me kill my self seriously this huge performance differance its make me sad i hope good ol core 2 duo days come back when one socket was used for 5 years or less the intel lynfield just came in and know this this really bull shit

  • @najibbakr

    Unfortunately, Sandy Bridge uses new CPU sockets that aren't backward compatible with any of today's current processors.

    LGA1155 => Budget to Mainstream market.

    LGA2011 => Enthusiast/Workstation/Server market.

    If you've already got a LGA1156 setup now, then upgrade in 2012 or 2013.

    2012 = Ivy Bridge (Continues to use LGA1155 from Sandy Bridge.)

    2013 = Haswell (Very likely to use a new socket.)

    There's no harm in skipping a generation if your current system suits your needs.

  • @aussiebear22

    Great guide man, however.. do you think a purchase of a

    LGA 1366 i7 950 today is such a good idea - or should I

    wait until ''LGA2011''?

    Thanks in advance

    Mathias921

  • @mathias921 Well it really depends on if you are willing to wait. remember that tech always changes and even if you get the new CPU now, it will be old in a few months. So if you cant wait just buy and if you can wait for a little longer for the new LGA1356 then wait.

  • @mathias921

    It all depends on what you have now. LGA2011 comes at around Q3 (July to Sept) or Q4 (Oct to Dec). If you really CANNOT wait because your current PC is too slow, then consider the LGA1155 version.

    But if you CAN wait, then lean towards LGA2011. Intel will want their Sandy Bridge-E (LGA2011) to stomp on AMD's upcoming "Bulldozer" processors.

    Forget about LGA1366 its a dead-end.

  • @aussiebear22

    Sandy Bridge-E = LGA 2011?

  • @mathias921

    Yeap. Sandy Bridge-E will use LGA2011

    => No IGP and supports up to 8-cores with Hyperthreading (16-threads in total).

    For high-end enthusiasts, workstations, and servers.

  • @xxxxxls2

    Its not superslow its just that the next generation seems to be alot faster :D

  • @xxxxxls2 you didnt under stand it? they are not showing how slow the i7 is theyre showing fast the new cpu is ;) cause the old i7 aint slow ;)

  • @xxxxxls2 because the 2600K is like mega faster than the i7-920 which is what I believe they're using. The 980 extreme or w/e is still up there.

  • @xxxxxls2 laptop

  • @xxxxxls2 hahaha , you have no idea what's going up, right there, do you??? sandy bridge its going to be part of the next generation of intel inside prossesors, so !!! this is NOT a WAR its just an upgrade , that's going to take intel inside company to the top !!! REMEMBER !!! ITS NOT A WAR !!!

  • @xxxxxls2 Core i7 isn't slow... it's just that the 2nd Gen i7 is much much faster.

  • interesting

    Thanks

    

  • They combined the CPU and GPU in one Chip. Can the GPU overclock.

  • They probably cheated by using Cuda on the faster one

  • @nobodypersonsomeone

    Hey i see you know somethink about CUDA

    i have nvidia and i'm intruasted how does CUDA cores improve my performance

  • @MrErjavec Cuda is a technology by Nvidia that some programs can use to process data, using your graphics card like a CPU, therefore speeding up a process. You need an 8600GTS card or better to use Cuda, and only some applications support it.

  • @nobodypersonsomeone

    AHA, thx

    Do you mybe know wich apps are this, and does ati redaon gCards have this-like technoloy?

  • @MrErjavec From the top of my head, I know that Cyberlink MediaEspresso, Movavi video converter and Badaboomit all support Cuda, there are many others though. And I think Ati has a technology that is similar but not exactly the same

  • @nobodypersonsomeone

    Thanks

    Sry for disturbing

  • @MrErjavec Nah thanks glad to help
