Intel Core i7 3820 Review & Sandy Bridge E Recap

[warwith1n]

This Cpu sucks , Not much of an upgrade from a 2600k , I ended up going with the 3930K so much better for overclocking ,

[iamextremelyawesome]

@warwith1n of course you shouldn't upgrade if you already own a 2600k lol you need a whole new mobo only a fuckin moron would upgrade from a 2600k what the fuck is wrong with you faggot *punches you in the face*

[ZEZgamer]

this is very interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing all the facts.

[aminuk23]

i fell sleep, boring as fuck mate.

[supajive]

your balding is so distracting, i couldnt pay attention to your review. ewwww, ur hair plugs seems like they are alive

[salamuun]

this is so boring

[EpicSwedishGuys]

@anandshimpi shoud i get i7 2600k or i7 3820 for gaming

[VenatorFX2012]

@EpicSwedishGuys You Guys Want Heterongeneus GPU's go AMD Fusion Man, free tip to the Swedish Clones teams with Eurotyphoons!

[4Th3Truthful]

@EpicSwedishGuys I just built a rig for under $1500 with 3820 for gaming.

[asus3571]

glad i found ya u look just like the cartoon version of you in cpu mag

[VenatorFX2012]

@asus3571 Let me know where that is I'll out that Nintendo 3DS?

[VenatorFX2012]

Is that including a GPU with the Six Core Solution? Don't tell me Intel is going Teamster Jimmy Hoffa we are a Traditional CPU Based Company, GPU's are not our priority vs. Cutting Edge Union Jack with AMD Vishera FX!

[asus3571]

@VenatorFX2012 it doent matter what amd puts out it seems to be a disapointment compared to intel look at bulldozer

[VenatorFX2012]

@asus3571 That new A-10 Trinity Looks to Maybe Even hit an ICore-7 Maybe no Haswell Until 2013! Level 3 Cache with an APU looks interesting with Vishera-VX, Faster CPU with all specs than A-10Trinity Pile Driver's Core CPU!

[asus3571]

@VenatorFX2012 even though im an intel guy i hope ur right ive been wanting to do an amd build but their lackluster performance compared to intel has me on the fence

[VenatorFX2012]

@asus3571 That A10Trinity Looks Sold to me verse an I-Core 5 or I-Core-7 maybe? Intel's Haswell looks interesting with that Clark Network Proccessing Unit, but AMD has Arm Processors Rdy in 2013 with their new APU units! Maybe Intel Needs to Sell Intel Haswell with Clarkdale NPU with Clear Wimax2 for Dell-Alienware after problems with ATI 5770 and Dell WiMax Rollout early! At least Gets Seatle, WA to throw a 4890 in there or scared of Lucid Logix Hydra hitting Bios of ATI!

[asus3571]

@VenatorFX2012 yeah lucid hydra prob is worried but the fact of the matter is amd has a hell of a lot of work to dothey havent really had a good platform since athlon although the 1090t was pretty good i belive their memory controllers are jacked u seem to really know what ur talkin about but clarkdale is old news

[VenatorFX2012]

@asus3571 What Sounds Old News Man is that Asus didn't Put that Xonar NPU and SPU on an Orochi FX proccessor if no GPU or PPU? Not Sure why Asus Doesn't want to Help Visiontek Killer HD 5770 put those cores in a Vishera FX Chip, no need for ARM in 2013, Put that as a Northbridge Chipset that does Multimedia Proccessing Unit similar to Nforce 2 ultra Asus has experience with that? Laptops have Afterburners On them man don't let MSI steal your sales with that 5670 or 4890 Die Shrunk with Vishera

[asus3571]

@VenatorFX2012 bro im not sure what ur sayin but it was interesting (lol)

[VenatorFX2012]

@asus3571 You speak Jive than you Asus Tahiti XT, not Cypress Middle Eastern 5770, you MS ATi 4890?

[asus3571]

@VenatorFX2012 yeah thats what she said

[VenatorFX2012]

@asus3571 Sounds like Windows Virtual Laptop Dancer DX10.1 MSI 4890 I take it!

[asus3571]

@VenatorFX2012 please brother make sense

[VenatorFX2012]

@asus3571 I'd keep taps on Asrock with CreativeLabs Blaster Fusion vs. Asus Xonar seems their the New Gun on the Market with the Letter A, on Vr-zone Asrock & Creative Blaster Fusion!

[VenatorFX2012]

@asus3571 I'd Tell Asus to get Back to ART-X not AMD why no Lucid-Logix Hydra Fusioned with Orochi-FX makes sense! Question is to Asus why Intel Icore-7 has An Ati 5830, While Dell-Alienware ICore-5 is missing a 5770 inside during 2010 preemptive strike Clear Wimax4G with Dell & ClearWire!

[lionhart3001]

im looking at replacing my c2d e8600 setup to a socket 2011 asus rampage iv extreme board, would this 3820 be good for gaming? i like the price and the support of 1600 ram and 4 channel

[spykerv]

And this is a reason why all product reviewers need to have at least a BS in computer engineering/electrical engineering. Fantastic analysis Anand.

[irkutsk2mailru]

бла бла бла.

[chrlsmcmstr]

please slow down the tech market! my system was mainstream for like... 1 hour??? T_T

[KoosSpee]

Awesome. This is good usable info.

[ugzz]

thanks for this guys, but saying its a "review" as well is pretty misleading. this was more of a history lesson and tech talk. which is fine, its just not what i thought it was.

[zach1912XD]

What he didn't mention was the 4.75 GHz was on stock voltage. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that pretty much means this will do ~5.5GHz on ~1.5V

[SirCrest]

Anand is such a fantastic website.

This video is sort of a video version. In-depth, easily consumed, really simple examples and explanations.

[SammichThyme]

If this is cheaper than an i7-2700k? why bother getting one? I plan on gaming mostly and saving a few bucks would be great, especially considering i'm getting dual 7970's. I don't want to wait for Ivy Bridge either. This can be overclocked so whats the big difference?

[ButaChicken]

@SammichThyme dual 7970's would be fine on LGA1155. If you want to save a few bucks, dont get SNB-E. Because the motherboards are more expensive for LGA2011 as he said, so you wont save yourself any money.

[wsbygt]

Another meticulous review from Anandtech's site. Keep it up! :]

[SonsOfHateSphere]

Great video. Sub'd !

[MumrikDK]

Anand is surprisingly awesome at this type of video content.

[Pabula]

Really enjoyed this video, really well presented, hope anandtech starts doing more videos like this, really much more appealing than reading.

[kishorshack]

Amazing man :)

[holdtheonionsplease]

Can I rub your head Anand, pretty please, can I?

[jon780]

loved it, thumbs up. please post more pictures/videos to support your discussion using the green screen. it really can help a lot to solidify certain points.

[error415]

That was so cool and nerdy

[Voidward]

Thanks for the video Anand, highly educational. I haven't been keeping up with the nitty gritty of hardware architecture over the past few years, I feel like you give me a good summary of recent history in a quick 15 minute lesson and do it often with these videos. It's a shame these videos don't get more views.

On a side note, I hate how that shirt contrasts with your face. It's distracting and it feels like it's fighting for attention in the frame. Maybe a slightly more subtle color?

[THOR2029]

loved the video but i got confused, is it good for gaming? thanks i'm not a techy but like to use it alot. thanks

[davidesacco52]

Great video, a happy 2012 for all...

[Mixroulette]

Anand is a sex machine <3

[AORNOfficial]

I really hope that you get paid for the quality content you provide!...

[bossingkokey]

I really like the in-depth reviews as always anand I hope you can get more views. Cheers!

[phimac10]

Good video.

[nosfed360]

PLEASE keep doing these, and more often. Great info, summed up very well....easier to wrap my head around the current status of CPU's now than reading 8 pages. (which I read anyway, this just helps tie it all together)

[ScunnyUK]

Wonderful overview, Thankyou :)

[RenegadeFury]

u have 1337 knowledge skills

[SolidCopy1]

Anand is a legend! Thanks for this. You need a hardware show with Leo on the Twit network!!

[svallam]

I usually 'like' your video even without watching it

[iThaosTM]

Very informative, :O

[MercenarySlick]

Your reviews are insanely detailed.

[anevmann]

Great supplement/summary for the written review Anand!

I get the feeling you really know what you're talking about :)

More of these movies from you and keep up the good work :D

[Tortelli2]

I still think the old i7 920's are one of the best launch cpu's of the last years. With a little overclock (3.4Ghz) it can still compare with a stock 2600k or 3820. My 920 is 3 years old right now!.

The 3820 is dissapointing. When you want a X79 platform the only intresting cpu is the 6 core 3930 witch is pretty expensive @ >€500.

[exerexerovic]

Good video!!!

[top2percent]

I've been waiting for this. Huzzah!

[dougalsmoutain]

Good video Anand...

[tubester4567]

Very average performer, very disappointing compared to the 2600K. I can see why Intel didnt release this CPU with the launch of SB=E

[SunsetNova]

great analysis

are you the founder of Anandtech?
