Benchmarks :
Here I have tabulated overclocked performance from Overclockers Club. We see here that the much hotter 22nm i7 3770k @ 4.7 ghz is in a dead even tie with intel's older and much cooler 32nm 2600k @ 4.9 Ghz.
Final thoughts :
IPC looks like an average of ~5-7% better
with ivy bridge. This isn't very impressive at all in my opinion, and I
am absolutely confident AMD's next generation Vishera processor will be
a larger jump from current FX processors, than this Tick-'Minus' bump
from intel.
Not
only do these chips generally overclock less, and run hotter than
current sandy bridge offerings, The performance does not justify an
upgrade from current Z68/2600k/2700k systems.
If you were thinking about upgrading from your current 2600k/2700k, and overclocking to the max, this chip is simply a big fat side-grade.
i7 3770k is not worth upgrade ! 2600k ftw.
i7 3770k worth to buy, i7 3770k is cheap.
