Sandy Bridge vs Nehalem vs Bulldozer vs Piledriver {BENCHMARKS!!!}

[Frick]

I've just searched through the net a found a pretty impressive comparison between a Core i7 920 @ 4200 ΜΗz vs Core i7 3770 @ 4200 MHz

The processors are amazingly neck to neck in gaming! DK if it's year old, it's a must see!

They are mostly GPU limited there, and it shows the 920 is faster. Not sure i trust that.

Interesting. Not much of an advantage in gaming

Just wanted to chime in and say, great work.

Got any of these to test out FX8350, 3570k, 3770k, 4670k & 4770k

Have 3570K and 2500S. The point would be to OC both of them to 4 GHz and see how they compare from the architecture point of view. Perhaps i will do that soon.

i love that thread xD im glad i didnt took the option of a I7-3820 over my I7-920 not much an upgrade in the end

Actually it's a pretty good sweet spot price wise for a gaming CPU, even a budget one. More and more games are very CPU intense now too, and the sheer volume of i5 2500k chips sold tends to indicate many others feel the same.

I guess everyone has their own opinion though. There's always people looking to spend less, then they wonder why their cheaper chips don't perform as well as they'd like them to.

You have to add a little wiggle room for the oft embellished benches that are so common on CPUs.

indeed 200$ is a sweetspot for the price of a CPU, its just the double of the price i paid for a ASUS Rampage III Extreme, i7-920 and 12gb 1600 ram.
