| 1278468 | 2012-05-30 07:20:00 | Best one I can find so far is this. INTEL CORE I7 3770K IVY BRIDGE 3.50GHZ 8MB 95W LGA1155 Compared to the best Sandy Bridge this seems a little low specced. Can I get a better Ivy somewhere? |

| 1278469 | 2012-05-30 07:35:00 | Nope that's it, and it's really no better than the 2700K because it doesn't overclock as well. At stock speeds ivy has a small advantage but that's all. Maybe there are faster models on the way. |

| 1278470 | 2012-05-30 07:38:00 | I don't care about overclocking, never done it and probably never will I don't want to get a Sandy as that is now old tech and the Ivy has surpassed it in every way except availability of higher end chips. How frustrating..... |

| 1278471 | 2012-05-30 07:45:00 | In that case don't buy the "K" version because it just adds overclocking support to the normal 3770. I have a 2500K in my games machine and a 3570K in my other machine, there is no noticeable difference in practice. |

| 1278472 | 2012-05-30 09:03:00 | The 3930 and 3960 are now available overseas, so they won't be far away. The 3960 is ridiculously expensive, though. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1278473 | 2012-05-30 09:30:00 | Heres whats on ebay. The price is around $960 + tax to come to nz. So it'll cost about $1200ish(i think:)) ( www.ebay.com) | stratex5 (16685) | ||
| 1278474 | 2012-05-30 09:34:00 | 3930K goes is basically toe to toe with the 3960X. Isn't the 3960X sandy bridge anyway? | icow (15313) | ||

| 1278476 | 2012-05-30 09:44:00 | There are some significant technical enhancements in Ivy Bridge that are not in Sandy Bridge. | DeSade (984) | ||

Yeah that's what I wasn't sure on. Both the 3960K and 3930K use the 2011 Sandy-E socket so I wasn't sure at all. Apparently Intel has already got the 2012 socket sorted for early next year. Ivy-E? I assume. |
