Its just a mild massage of sandy bridge as expected. Some of the early samples werent particularly reliable overclockers. The sandy bridge parts often managed 2-300 more mhz stable which was enough to make the ivy bridge speed improvements virtually nullified. Still you are better off buying the new chips but no point upgrading from Sandy

Yep sparty is right.. If u already hv sandy nd upgrade to ivy, u wont see much difference..

only thing ill upgrade is my mobo maximus 5 extreme :) and 680's just for lucid,but keeping my 2600.ivy was focused more on its gpu that the cpu,which doesn't apply to people with dedicated gpu

TheGTX680 not worth its Money if the GTX680 is gonna be 50percent faster, i'll be sticking with my Sandy until 2013 maybe 2014 n see how much Processors have Advanced by then

I seem to recall a lot of sandy bridge products were recalled at launch. The technology site tech radar claims that ivy bridge will offer improved graphics but that is only really going to benefit those who have intergrated graphics

those with expensive graphics cards are not going to see any real world benefit according to tech radar. It will be good for budget laptops that usually rely on intergrated graphics and despite what some people on here might think shops sell more budget lines than any other, that is where the money lies with the majority.

the recall was only for the motherboards,the cpu's was fine. hence the reason everybodya wanted a B3 revision motherboard

Yup had to wait 3 months to get a B3 Rev Mobo, but was worth it, my Current RIG is the best Pc i've ever had and Super fast, just 2 more upgrades and i'll be set for another year or 2

Haswell is what i am targeting now for 2013. Between then i'll STILL stick with what i got and maybe buy a new GPU, depends on what the consoles are like
