    Summary

    All the data we've gathered provides real insight into how AMD and Intel CPU architectures compared over the past decade for gaming. We've seen AMD come from nowhere to often beating Intel, while the latter has made smaller steps in pure architecture term...

    techspot.com
    Pros

    Intel keeps delivering the best desktop processor money can buy. Great efficiency and features. Overclocking is well supported on the 'K' processor. Backward platform compatibility is a big win for

    Cons

    Integrated graphics handle well most tasks but are not fit for gaming, perform behind AMD's A8 APUs

  • 08/06/2015

    Summary

    Since then, despite the perseverance of (or soon to be mildly delayed) Moore's Law, performance is measured differently. Efficiency, core count, integrated SIMD graphics, heterogeneous system architecture and specific instruction sets are now used due to...

    Summary

    The advantage of Hyper-Threading makes the Intel Core i7-3770K the most powerful processor of the Ivy Bridge series. With its larger cache and Hyper-Threading, it was able to win this comparison against its smaller brother. It also ran cooler than our ...

    Pros

    High performance, Includes HyperThreading technology, High overclocking potential, Good price based on performance, Low power consumption under both idle and load

    Cons

    High temperature under load, Low performance iGPU

  • 10/16/2012

    Summary

    Our measurements show that under heavy load, the maximum power of Ivy Bridge processors is up to 40% lower compared with Sandy Bridge. Reducing the load reduces the difference between the platforms down to the minimum of 8% in the idle mode. At that, ...

  • 08/29/2012

    Summary

    When Intel launched Sandy Bridge in January 2011, it received a very favourable welcome but what was a ‘Tock’, which is to say a new architecture, was in fact also a sort of ‘Tick’, ie a new engraving process. The 32nm engraving launched a year earlier...

    Summary

    I told you up front that the story on Ivy Bridge was relatively straightforward. Now that we've conducted enough analysis to bring down a healthy adult bison in its prime, let's boil things down to a simple scatter plot showing price versus overall perfo...

  • 08/09/2012

    Summary

    I think that the Intel Core i7-3770 has a lot of merit. First off, it is less expensive than the K variant and I do think that it offers enough performance for the vast majority of users. $35 these days is enough to upgrade from a 64GB to 128GB SSD or to ...

  • 05/10/2012

    Summary

    Intel’s delay of Ivy Bridge did stir some debate but it made business sense seeing Sandy Bridge rules the roost over their rival AMD’s Bulldozer platform. Most of the time we tend to look at new introductions with hype and look forward to major perform...

    Summary

    Maybe we've got complacent. Maybe we've got greedy. Or maybe Intel knocked the Sandy Bridge range out of the park and it's a tough act to follow. However you look at it, the Intel Core i7-3770K is most definitely the Sophomore Slump. Don't get us wrong...
