| 1272449 | 2012-04-28 11:48:00 | The real difference im pretty sure is the intergrated graphics which support DX11 but anyway most people would get a descret gpu. | stratex5 (16685) | ||

I think you will find the "real" difference is the microarchitecture leading to about a 20% increase in performance and 20% less power. Additionally it has a higher max memory bandwidth (resulting in faster memory access) and support for PCI Express Revision 3.0. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1272453 | 2012-04-28 14:32:00 | To Add - and about the onboard graphics. Intel has made enhancements to the GPU engine to improve efficiency, but other factors help to mitigate the clock-rate differential, too. First, the new HD 4000 GPU contains 16 execution units, versus the 12 built into Sandy Bridge. Second, Ivy Bridge supports DDR3-1600 memory, as opposed to the Sandy Bridge memory controller, which officially supports only DDR3-1333. Ivy Bridge gains 25 percent more parallel compute power and higher potential throughput due to the added memory bandwidth. What we like here is that beyond all the wonkiness, the new chips have some big, obvious improvements for users. There are two levels of GPU, the HD 2500 and HD 4000. The latter will allow gamers to play graphics-intensive games like the new Metro 2033 and Just Cause 2 at playable framerates--definitely something that wasn't possible before with onboard graphics. Both the 2500 and 4000 support DirectX 11 From benchmarks I have seen, they still arent that wonderful. |

| 1272454 | 2012-04-28 16:13:00 | ^^ And to add to Iantech... Whenever you look at the benchmarks, also look at what CPU is being tested. Expect that HD4000 on a 3770K will perform substantially better than say on a 3470. Perhaps exponentially so. |

| 1272455 | 2012-04-28 21:11:00 | Computer lounge have some of the ivy bridge cpu's in stock (just not for sale). They are doing a midnight release: www.computerlounge.co.nz This is a bit late but the link icow gave was about a midnight release from 12am - 2am this morning at the computer lounge show room in Auckland. |

| 1272456 | 2012-04-29 21:49:00 | Just ordered a 3770K woohoo!! :) | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1272457 | 2012-04-30 02:17:00 | Me too :) except I went for the 3570K, I just can't see any real gain for the extra cash with my usage. gonna sell my media PC and my LAN machine and use this to replace both. Decided 3 PC's for just me is excessive. |
