Sandy Bridge CPU Demo

[Jezza1685]

Sandy bridge is so fast! 13" MBP 2.7GHz i7 turbo boost to 3.1GHz. Plays 1080p video fine. Only problem is integrated graphics - Intel HD 3000 graphics are bad

[brdevans]

wow, windows/microsoft conferences are boring compared to the mac world... sorry for all of you out there that haven't been enlightened yet

[Randomkaoz]

yeah AMDs are shitty. I can't keep up with how many users call me to fix their computers or replace their CPU after 3 years of use. AMDs can OC their asses off but they get so fucking hot, it's almost impossible to cool them down. Even when they are idle they are hot, which of course shortens the life of the processor. I don't think paying extra of a cpu that can OC is fair when you have older chips that just have the potential naturally.

@Randomkaoz My Phenom II X4 955 OC'd to 4.2 GHz doesnt go above 46C. #FAIL O.o

[Randomkaoz]

@Anthony4378 ummm re-read what i said slowly so that you don't hurt yourself. I'm sorry for using big words like "almost" and "impossible" right next to each other. and like i said they run hot seeing how yours is at 46 and mine is at 36 - 43C 90% peak.

So yeah stamp a fail sticker on your forehead. Using a 3938 mark cpu that can't even stay under 35C is a shame, you obviously don't know how to shop.

[Anthony4378]

@Randomkaoz Intel = #FAIL

[Randomkaoz]

@Anthony4378 ok little one run along now.........

[Anthony4378]

@Randomkaoz #LOL

So this new sandy bridge cpu does not need the extra cooling when overclocked?

[LordSamuelJ]

Sure Sandy Bridge is fast, but kinda sucks for overclocking. They got an i7 (2600k 3.4 w/ 3.8 turbo) version to run 5GHZ on air... who cares? Core i5 does 5GHZ on air. Also, the lower end SB chips do not overclock at all without destroying computer components. Im a computer enthusiast, and I do not feel it necessary to pay more just to overclock... screw Intel im waiting for bulldozer.

[kyleglied]

This doesn't really prove much for this cpu.

A dual core could do this. A quad core could do it. 1156 platform can do this and 1366 platform can do this.

It just doesnt show the true power of the sandybridge.

[darkstar3x16]

AMD are fucking shit so is ATI or should I just call them AMD now? Nvidia and Intel ftw

[SonarWavePulse]

@darkstar3x16

O rly?

Bulldozer's rolling out next year, and the 6990 is too

[HDGURU100]

@SonarWavePulse 6990 i sallready out soon will come 7k series :D

[nobodypersonsomeone]

I hope bulldozer pwns sandy bridge

[jprincehouston]

amd fusion is gonna destroy sandy bridge. Thats why Apple is moving all their computers to AMD. Sandy Bridge GPU is pants and will struggle to handle HD 1080p.

[bumurcum]

@jprincehouston wow, never heard about that, amd must have something really good to be able to compete with intel current processors

[lizardmannnn]

@jprincehouston Yea well i really doubt it will be 32nm. Unless is it?

[leerman22]

@jprincehouston sandy bridge gpu can play 3d games decently on its own, let alone 1080p video.

[TheMoo1231]

@leerman22 no it can't ,mate, the Integrated graphics with SB will be shit. AMD's APU is going to be alot better.

[doive1231]

I'm glad geeks have found things to do in this technological world.

[Lupic1995]

Sandybridge RuleZ i will get an notebook
