Intel Core i7 4820K and 4960X Ivy Bridge-E processor review
In todays reviews we test the new four-core Core i7 4820K and six-core Core i7 4960X Ivy Bridge-E (IBE) processor. The 4820K 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.

Yes, but falls down everywhere else. Seem the i7-4770K would be the more sensible choice as it's faster in every other test. Of course, the ideal thing would be to couple the i7-4770K with (at least) DDR3-2133, and then overclock it
Really nice memory performance.

glad to see that my purchase of the 3770k is still holding up very nicely. Those memory speeds are incredible though.

I agree, insane is better word. Now 16xxx MB/s on my i7-920 OC'ed to 4.01GHz paired with 6x Patriot 4GB 1866 CL9 (Triple Channel) looks so f**king small

Oh boy! Finally an A-List product review.
While I wish the 4930k was included too, I will really enjoy this when I read it later on.
Thank you Hilbert.

Thanks, is 4820K review missing OC part?

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

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.

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

Yup same - there is absolutely no point in upgrading until X99.

Kinda expected. I still find 4770k best choice out there.

I dropped Sandra for memory testing, with each massive update the tool scores change as well. So that it unfortunately is not reliable/consistent enough.

So it performs as expected which is the same scenario since the 2600k.
10% increase in IPC with each release. 2700k+10%=3770k+10%=4770k
And now 4960X is again 10% over the previous gen.
Hitting some kind of a wall there? Where are the true advances in technology? But hey they need to milk us really good don't they.
Biggest competitor a 5 year old platform with a 3 year old CPU. Oh please...
Stop releasing every year and focused on providing something truly groundbreaking ffs. Oh yeah, we got Skylake. In 2 years....
I know my comment isn't exactly 100% spot on some things, but I had to get this out. I feel a bit better now.

Great review as always Hill.
Those Cinbench figures are off the chain!
