April 3, 201214 yr Wholesalers here already have Ivy Bridge CPU's, that will start selling next 23th 20 days to go!
April 3, 201214 yr Awesome.. I've been looking forward to ivy bridge for a bit now.. I skipped right over sandy bridge..
April 3, 201214 yr So what's going to be the "K" lineup? What will be comparable to the 2500K/2600K? | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
April 3, 201214 yr So what's going to be the "K" lineup? What will be comparable to the 2500K/2600K? 2500K = 3570K 2700K = 3770K At this point, there is not version comparable to the 2600K. There will likely be higher binned versions later on down the road.
April 3, 201214 yr Oh interesting... will the 3570K be much better than the 2500K? Are we talking 10% or 50% etc? | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
April 3, 201214 yr Oh interesting... will the 3570K be much better than the 2500K? Are we talking 10% or 50% etc? Depends on who you ask! I would expect to see about a 15% jump in performance clock for clock. Also, the IB lineup SHOULD be able to OC 5+GHZ.

April 4, 201214 yr Can anyone recommend a micro-atx Z68 motherboard compatible with ivy bridge? I was going to go with the ASRock (good value) but I'm not too sure if it will work with the new processors. Soarbywire - Avionics Engineering
April 4, 201214 yr I too have held out upgrading to Sandy Bridge to see what IB is like. At stock they will obviously be faster than their SB equivalents, but it's rumoured that it may not overclock as well. The switch to a 22nm process means the CPU die is smaller than the previous generation (to be expected), but people with engineering samples have had trouble overclocking them as high as their SB cousins went, and they're hypothesising that the smaller die is harder to cool. That's just rumour though, and with ESs, so we won't know for sure until proper reviews start coming out. I'm looking forward to their release. Cheers, Mike

I was going to go with the ASRock (good value) but I'm not too sure if it will work with the new processors. My mobo (sig) supports IB. Using IB instead of SB also enables PCIe 3.0 support. My bad, I missed that you were looking for a micro; mine is ATX.

No reason in buying something that will be obsolete in 3 weeks.
April 4, 201214 yr Looking forward to seeing how much this new PCIe, cpu and chipset increase performance with FSX.
April 4, 201214 yr Looking forward to seeing how much this new PCIe, cpu and chipset increase performance with FSX. It should be worthy of an upgrade!
April 5, 201214 yr Wait for the Micro ATX Z77 boards... No reason in buying something that will be obsolete in 3 weeks. Are Z77 boards compatible with intel srt technology? I would like to use a SSD cache. Soarbywire - Avionics Engineering
