Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge Processor Review @ HotHardware.com

One of the great things about Intel's "Tick, Tock" release cadence is that it gives us all an early glimpse into the company's future plans and potential product offerings, especially since they've been able to execute so well over the last few years. Seeing Conroe eventually evolve into Penryn, and Nehalem into Westmere has given us all an idea as to what to expect with today's official launch of Ivy Bridge, the "Tick" to Sandy Bridge's "Tock", otherwise known as Intel's 3rd Generation Core Processor family. Of course, if you haven't stayed on top of Intel's plans since announcing their "Tick, Tock" model, you could have just read the myriad of leaks that have plagued this launch, but that's a discussion for another day.

Today is all about Ivy Bridge and its official launch in both desktop and mobile flavors. We have had Intel's flagship Ivy Bridge-based Core i7-3770K desktop processor humming along in the lab for a while now and have the full scoop on microarchitecture and the new capabilities it brings to Intel's processor line-up available here...

Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge LGA1155 Processor Review @ Pc Perspective

Because of this long-tail release of a CPU, we already know quite a bit about Ivy Bridge, the new 22nm processor architecture from Intel to be rebranded as the 3rd Generation Intel Core Processor Family. Ivy Bridge is the "tick" that brings a completely new process technology node as we have seen over the last several years but this CPU does more than take the CPU from 32nm to 22nm. Both the x86 and the processor graphics portions of the die have some changes though the majority fall with the GPU.

Intel Core i7-3720QM Ivy Bridge Mobile Processor Review @ HotHardware

You might say Intel has been absolutely killing it as of late. Whether you consider their recent earnings announcement beating Wall Street's expectations, the Ultrabook craze, their re-entrance into the handset arena with their Medfield platform, or the proliferation of their 2nd generation Core i7 Sandy Bridge processor in the market; it's perfectly clear the company is in an execution groove that will fuel both their own growth as well as industry growth for some time to come.

As if that weren't enough, the company is obviously champing at the bit for the launch of their 3rd generation Core series processor known by the code name Ivy Bridge. From full-on leaks of NDA classified information and performance results, to the official, blessed unveiling of Intel's companion 7 Series chipset platform, it's as if we've been hearing about Ivy Bridge for what seems like an eternity.

In any event, today is the day that Intel's long rumored and hyped Ivy Bridge 3rd Generation Core processors get real and we've got the full lowdown for you here.

Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge CPU and DZ77GA-70K Motherboard Review @ MissingRemote

Last year Intel’s Sandy Bridge “TOCK” married the graphics processing unit (GPU) and CPU on the same die, making it a first class citizen in the system and introduced a true integrated processor graphics (IPG) solution. With HD audio bit steaming introduced in the previous generation, full hardware acceleration of VC-1, AVC (H.264), MPEG2 as well as 3D Blu-ray (MVC) and reasonable refresh rate accuracy already offered; Ivy Bridge’s 22nm die-shrinking “TICK” could have easily rested only on improved process technology for frequency gains or power efficiency, but instead promises a little bit of raw performance with significant reductions in consumption. Most importantly for the home theater PC (HTPC) enthusiast significant improvements to the GPU are also included - offering greater flexibility in playback software selection as well as improvements to the existing media consumption experience.

Testing Ivy Bridge: Intel Core i7-3770K Reviewed @ Techspot

Today the company is unveiling its full new line of Core i7 and Core i5 processors, accompanying chipsets and Centrino wireless options. Ivy Bridge is a 'tick' release, but Intel is calling it a tick+ due to the more significant overhaul the graphics side of things is getting. The new chips are set to provide 20–50% better GPU performance over Sandy Bridge, the kind of jump we'd normally expect from a tock release.

Having already discussed the new Tri-Gate transistors in great detail, the new 7-series chipsets, and some of the motherboards that use them, we are going to focus primarily on the Core i7-3770K processor in this review.

Intel Third Generation Core i7 3770K Review @ OCC

Is Ivy Bridge all it's cracked up to be and well worth the wait? It seems so. With measurable performance improvement in just about every benchmark, it's hard to make a case for sticking with a Second Generation Core series processor for a new build. With performance improvements anywhere between 3 and 10+%, it's just simple math when you look at the price point between the $313 Third Generation Core i7 3770K and $339 Second Generation Core i7 2600K.

Core i7 3770K & 3750 & Z77 reviews @ Guru3D

We review the Core i7 3770K and 3750 Ivy bridge processors alongside Intel's Z77 DZ77GA-70K motherboard. Will Ivy Bridge be the processor series everything you expected? Performance wise the all new Ivy Bridge series is not going to stun and shock like the Sandy Bridge series did. In fact clock for clock it is all roughly the very same, with a +0.8% performance offset in favor of Ivy Bridge.

However -- with Ivy Bridge comes increased overclockability, the platform comes with native USB 3.0, we get PCIe Gen 3 for the fastest graphics cards and overall just a really fast processor series.

Intel Ivy Bridge Processor IPC and Overclocking Review @ HardOCP

The new Ivy Bridge processor has already been well covered across the Internet due to leaks of Intel parts into review sites' hands. So at this point there is little to tell in all honesty. But today we work to tell you what you most likely already know; Ivy Bridge looks to be a very solid product but offers little in the way of an upgrade from Sandy Bridge.

Undervolting and Overclocking on Ivy Bridge @ Anandtech

In the past, overclocking a processor for free performance involved taking a cheap model and pushing it past the top end model.  In the land of Intel, overclocking by any significant margin has been limited to the more expensive processors – with Sandy Bridge is was common so see a 3.4 GHz processor overclocked to 4.6 GHz with very little effort for those with overclocking experience.

However, Ivy Bridge is now released and behaves differently to Sandy Bridge, in perhaps a couple of alarming ways that we think you should know about.  We always want to be thorough here at AnandTech with our analysis, so this article is all about our results from Ivy Bridge overclocking – especially in terms of what to look out for.  Ivy Bridge overclocking is a different beast to Sandy Bridge, so we want to make sure there are several clear correlations implanted in a users mind when it comes to a stable Ivy Bridge overclock.  For our other readers, we also have some notes regarding some undervolting results on Ivy Bridge.
