1
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:14,960
welcome to my belated Ivy Bridge coverage so in front of me here I have a

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,600
few different processors uh some of the processors that we've tested are

3
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:23,519
represented by boxes here some of them are not but I want to start with outlining the overall Ivy Bridge lineup

4
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:30,240
so we have everything from the lowly 3450 so this is a core i5 that's a dual

5
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,960
core that has uh no k at the end so that

6
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,559
means this is not an unlocked overclocking processor although you can

7
00:00:33,879 --> 00:00:40,120
still overclock it a little bit but n very very very limited it also has a 50

8
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,200
at the end of the part number and what that means is that it has HD 2500

9
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:48,600
graphics and that'll be important for one of my other videos where I'm going

10
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:53,960
to do an onboard Graphics Roundup where I compare the 2500 the 4,000 the older

11
00:00:51,719 --> 00:01:01,920
last generation 3000 that was on sandybridge as well as AMD's 3 870k Apu

12
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:04,920
that has their onboard radon Graphics so let's hold on let's keep going though uh

13
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:12,000
so for the rest of lineup so what all this means i7 means you have hyperthreading I5 means no

14
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:13,920
hyperthreading the uh 30 whatever seems

15
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:21,000
to have some sort of indication in terms of the rank within the product stack a

16
00:01:17,479 --> 00:01:23,079
50 versus a 70 means um 2500 versus

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,040
Intel HD graphics 4000 which is significantly more powerful from our

18
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:31,360
testing and then the K at the end means

19
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,079
that you have uh an unlocked processor

20
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,399
that can be easily overclocked and in this case the 3770k sample that we were

21
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:44,399
working with was able to easily achieve 4.6 GHz and that's 24/7 stable in fact

22
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:49,240
that is the setting that we used for our Max overclocking result so you know what

23
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:55,479
I guess we might as well just go with uh here I'm going to hide The igp

24
00:01:53,040 --> 00:02:01,640
Showdown actually no I shouldn't yes I'll hide these ones for now there we go

25
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,560
so let's let's just go through this you guys let's do this as like a one take so

26
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:10,160
in terms of the tests that I ran my timing was fairly limited so with a

27
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:16,120
single GTX 680 I ran most of this other stuff so PC Mark 7 cine bench as well as

28
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:21,560
using either quicksync or no quicksync to quickly convert a video using arsoft

29
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:25,560
media encoder 7 so I took a 1 gig file and then I outputed it in an iPhone 4

30
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:30,120
compatible format and timed how long it took so I'll do that as sort of round

31
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:35,480
two through all of the tests so PC Mark 7 wise we can clearly see that the max

32
00:02:32,519 --> 00:02:38,440
overclocked 3770k you know what I'll turn these into graphs all right so

33
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,800
we're just going to do these one at a time here's PC Mark 7 basically this

34
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:47,440
doesn't benefit as much from multiple cores as you might expect so our 8 core

35
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:52,000
processor the 8150 from AMD as well as our six core processor the

36
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:55,680
3930k don't actually do that well I mean the 3930k scores a little bit better

37
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:59,440
than it's Sandy Bridge Brethren remember this is Sandy Bridge e but the 8150 just

38
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:02,920
yeah doesn't doesn't do that well in this test you can see that it does

39
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:08,239
however benefit from significantly higher core clock speed so once we

40
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,519
overclocked our 3770k to 4.6 GHz the

41
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:13,920
score dramatically improved and we do get a slight Boost from hyperthreading

42
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,640
here you can see however though with Sandy Bridge we were pretty much within

43
00:03:15,799 --> 00:03:21,440
margin of error on these two processors so yeah all of this take it with a bit

44
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:25,640
of a grain of salt remember this is still a synthetic

45
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:29,879
Benchmark here's our cinch test so you can see this was run in two different

46
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:34,720
settings single-threaded as well as multi-threaded so you can see the single

47
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:37,200
threading runs according to uh you know

48
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:41,560
increasing down the graph so that's the order it's sort of set up in however the

49
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:46,400
multi-threading is where some of these processors really differentiate each

50
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,720
other from each other so the 8150 gets

51
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,200
pretty much destroyed in the single-threaded test Falling by about to

52
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:59,200
about half of the score of the 3770 with the max overclock on it um however due

53
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:04,799
to its eight cores it does sort of make up some and Falls pretty in between the

54
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:07,360
2500k and the 3570k which is appropriate

55
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:12,079
given its price point uh the New Generation IV Bridge processors beat

56
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:16,479
their last generation Sandy Bridge equivalents by about 10% so this is

57
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,040
pretty much to be expected and then you can see here that the Sandy Bridge core

58
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:25,080
which is the same as on Sandy Bridge e the six core 3930k scores about the same

59
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:28,440
in the single thread however just sort of Stomps all over everything when it

60
00:04:26,919 --> 00:04:33,639
comes to multi-threading because this is six course 12 12 threads you have to do

61
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:39,479
some serious overclocking that is about 4.6 GHz on ivybridge in order to get it

62
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,600
to catch up to Sandy Bridge e um in a

63
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:45,639
multi-threaded test like the cin bench test for Battlefield 3 guys remember

64
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:49,960
this is a custom run through so the results might not have the same kind of

65
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:54,080
consistency but I believe them to be well real world accurate so Battlefield

66
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:59,000
3 seems to care about multi-threading you can see here our 3930k performs

67
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:03,759
extremely well even running with the big dog in this test which is the 3770k at

68
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:09,720
its maximum overclock and remember a 3930k is good for at least you know a

69
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:13,600
reasonable overclock to 4. Mid GHz as well so there's more performance to be

70
00:05:11,479 --> 00:05:17,639
squeezed out of it now unlike some CPU reviews I've gone with realistic

71
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:20,360
settings 108p High details so that's why you're not seeing much difference in

72
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:25,039
terms of the performance of these processors let's face it they're all

73
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:29,280
pretty close everything here uses Sandy Bridge everything here uses Ivory bridge

74
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:33,639
and this is the lone AMD CPU and the test you can see the FX 8150 doesn't do

75
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:37,039
that well but everything else is pretty close when it comes to the max FPS with

76
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:42,240
the 3770k max OC winning and everything else

77
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,360
here is pretty similar when it comes to the minimum FPS as well did I say Max

78
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:49,919
cuz I meant average so the red bar is average and the blue bar is the minimum

79
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,919
so this is all sort of within margin of error and this is the one that's really

80
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:58,639
lagging behind in this case if you want to see those numbers a

81
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:03,000
little bit better there you go running with my usual Witcher two

82
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,800
settings you can see again there's not much separation here in terms of

83
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:11,120
performance with the exception of the 393 6 uh

84
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:14,160
3930k which shows its prowess again with

85
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,680
its multi coreness as well as the 3770k

86
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:22,120
being the clear winner again and the 8150 being the uh lesser performing part

87
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,759
out of all of the parts in this particular

88
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:30,440
test I'm using yeah my usual settings I think I

89
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:34,199
already said that now it should be noted that while I am using realistic settings

90
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:41,400
for the games I'm using maybe a bit of an unrealistic configuration these are

91
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:46,520
dual 797s overclocked at 1.07 5

92
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:50,720
gigahertz um 8 gigs of RAM MSI z77a gd65

93
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:54,400
board I used an MSI x79 something or

94
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:58,800
other gd65 for LGA 2011 and then I used

95
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:02,039
a Crosshair 5 formula for the AMD test

96
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,720
bench I'm using an SSD for my boot Drive

97
00:07:02,039 --> 00:07:10,479
Patriot wildfire and that's pretty much it let's get into the Skyrim results so

98
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:15,759
skym uh as you can see doesn't really like the 8150 very much and really

99
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:21,120
benefits from better IPC and higher clock speeds as you can see here more

100
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:23,960
than it benefits from multiple cores so

101
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:30,840
the clear winner in this guy is the 377k due to its overall faster than the other

102
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:37,800
stuffiness so guys actually I changed my mind about the uh the quicksync and uh

103
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,319
media encoder media converter 7 results

104
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,199
I'm just going to do a general overview of what's special about Ivy bridge and

105
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:46,919
we're going to wrap this one up as just a performance overview so Ivy bridge in

106
00:07:44,599 --> 00:07:50,479
general what's special new 22 nanometer manufacturing process reasonable

107
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:56,400
overclocking although it does get pretty toasty you're going to want something like a Corsair h100 or an h80 to keep it

108
00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:02,000
pretty cool if you want to go over around 4.5 GHz um performance wise yes

109
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:08,400
it's better than Sandy bridge I don't have a Sandy Bridge box to represent

110
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:10,240
here it is better than FX however FX Has

111
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,120
uh you know some pretty aggressive pricing going on and considering how

112
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:19,000
many cores are included there's something to be said for that and oh

113
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:24,759
yeah right other stuff Lucid virtue MVP is supported on the uh on the similar

114
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:30,919
time frame released z77 chipset you've also got support for overclocking

115
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,479
hyperthreading turbo boost as well as um

116
00:08:30,919 --> 00:08:37,360
better onboard Graphics so the better onboard Graphics not only affects um if

117
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:43,159
you're using onboard Graphics but also affects if you are using uh media

118
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:48,480
converter 7 and you're using the igp in order to convert your media uh which is

119
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:51,920
like way I'm not going to spoil it but it's way way faster than any other way

120
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:56,279
of doing it especially with the new ibridge processors using the

121
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,480
hd4000 graphics uh virtue MVP basically is just

122
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,519
a way to use used the onboard Graphics to improve performance in games although

123
00:09:02,079 --> 00:09:07,279
in my experience it didn't make that much of a difference and the spotty

124
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:11,920
consistency of the results of that particular technology made it not that

125
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:17,760
appealing to me the z77 platform with an ivy Bridge also supports PCI Express 3.0

126
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:23,480
which means your latest generation 7900 series 7800 series and 600 series

127
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,880
graphics cards are going to be able to really stretch their legs even if you're

128
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:33,360
using a mainstream platform that only supports 8X 8X bandwidth that is you

129
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:35,079
equivalent to PCIe 2.0 16x 16x so thank
