So....a lot of people was asking me for a comparison between 3570K and 2500K so here it is...... Setup 1 2500K+Maximus V Formula Setup 2 3570K+Maximus V Formula let the graphs do the talking.... point to be noted: In Aida benchmark Suite Higher is better In SUPER PI and Wprime Lower is better again in X264 and Cinebench Higher is better First up the Aida 64 CPU and FPU results... not much to say except CPU HASH and FPU VP8 gets a good boost. Next up the super PI and Wprime the boost somewhat small is expected. Next up some encoding stuff X264 And Cinebench Not much of a difference..and i am disappointed...Intel was better off not releasing this and working on something better...
while performance might be a bit iffy.. it was expected. Ivy Bridge wasn't going to be the major leap anyway. Thats for Haswell. Anyways, in the broader perspective, IB is more efficient with better power consumption than SB so all things being equal, that would be a pretty good reason to choose the IB over the SB .. if of course you were jumping from a much older setup any way
