Core i7 4820K processor review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/03/2013 08:52 AM [ 61 comment(s) ]

In this review we test the new four-core Core i7 4820K Ivy Bridge-E (IBE) processor. This is the only quad-core IBE processor that Intel will release. But it is unlocked and as such direct competition for the Core i7 4770K. That alone is interesting as X79 as a platform offers more PCIe lanes. But how well will this processor fare against Intel's own pride and joy the 4770K ? let's go check it out.

hm i7 4960x is very hot at only 4.6Ghz @ 1.45v, makes me wonder did they really use proper soldering or not.. Also power consumption, I thought it would be much lower on IB-e

Edit: i checked anadtech and he couldnt even get it to 4.6ghz :grin:

I think it's time to retire FarCry2 and Crysis2 from the benchmark suite. (review says "New in the CPU benchmark suite is Crysis 2.")

Crysis3 is about the only title that would've shown the potential of a 6core so really needs to be there instead of Crysis2.

BLEH!

There's some disparity on the AIDA memory readings. Sandra seems to give a better figure, which is missing for some reason.

Well, as far I as I can there is absolutely no point in me upgrading from my 3970X as the performance boosts wouldn't even be noticeable when gaming. Think i'll wait for X99 and Haswell E
