Wonder why they didn't launch the i5 first like they did with SB.

They have it in stock...

Note that the price listed above is Canadian Dollars as I yanked the screenshot off the Canadian NewEgg site. It's $20 more than my estimate.... I was hoping for $229.99, not $249.99...

microcenter is the place to go to if there is one near you.

$190 for the 3570k $290 is for the 3770k and 50 bucks off combo deals on 3570k and z77 mb's
I'll get there this week some time for a 3570k or two plus a mb,hopefully they got a ud3 or ud5 in stock

Was just going to mention this. Microcenter always has the crazy deals on processors, although you usually have to go to the store to get them.

i got those emails, was tempted once again to get the 3570 to replace my 920 but, i think i wait for now, a better gpu would go farther for me

Yup in your case i'd spend $300 on a vga before the cpu.

I really want to test ib on my p67 ud7 i hope i can get the unlocked multi to work.The 3570k ud5 combo i got wont see much time on air cooling till i get another mb and chip.

Btw
i went with the 3570k because i have alot of cores on my 3930k rig so the ht was not needed.

that is one expensive lil processor for me :/

cowie · 04-29-2012, 18:20 | posts: 10,864 | Location: new jersey

Yeah they do ....BUT i ordered from td 3570k ud5 and new kb/mouse $570 not bad.
Still cant find a buyer for my p67 ud7 and sb chips thuo...

gonna take a big price drop to sell SB chips now. Lots of people are gonna jump on IB...

I have a confession you guys, this is my first intel chip since i mistakenly bought a pentium 3 1ghz chip.
Still have a bad taste in my mouth after that one.

What was wrong with it? PIII was a great chip, anyways I'm gonna wait before I take the plunge I think, as I just upgraded my monitor, and to SSD's.

Don't feel bad....we all make mistakes....lol

Tons of BSOD issues and i was just overall unimpressed especially when each of AMD's chips were killing them on performance.

That sucks man.

Its all good, i think IB can salvage those wounds and i look forward to my new partnership.

P4 williamete. Back in the day

I was considering Ivy-Bridge, but, I'm not in a hurry right now to get a new CPU, so, I was thinking to wait till Haswell, what do you think guys? is it worth waiting?

fr33k · 04-29-2012, 22:42 | posts: 1,784 | Location: USA

the speed jump from my 1090t i feel is completely worth it, if anything i'll get the current IB then exchange for IB-e later.

Haswell may be a very expensive upgrade because of DDR4.

That's not for certain. Even when DDR3 rose, Intel still stuck with DDR2 until prices dropped to acceptable levels. I believe Intel will only require DDR4 with its enthusiast class CPUs and DDR3 will still be used in Haswell mainstream/performance CPUs.

It makes no sense to mandate people to buy super expensive memory just for their CPUs. Especially since mainstream users will not want to invest a lot in peripherals just to support a CPU, they won't jump at it.

It wouldn't make sense for Intel to shove it down people's throat. I don't expect DDR4 to go mainstream until 2015 the earliest.

So you think it's worth the wait? I know the performance boost in the 1090T -> 3770K is huge, but, if I can wait, wouldn't it be a good idea?

I'm not desperate to upgrade, so I don't mind waiting, but with the money I'm planing other things. Thinking on a dell U2410, a pair of good speakers and a open Headphone, upgrading to the 3770K pretty much suck my money in the process, so, unless the 3770K would be a complete game-changer in comparison to the 2600K, which it doesn't seem to, I would probably wait till early 2013/haswell.

If you can wait, then wait for Haswell. For me, I'm in the middle of my upgrade cycle and I did promise my bro that I will give him my CPU, so that's why I had to upgrade during this summer and give him this CPU before he starts university in the fall.

That and I want new toys ... duh

I clearly understand you, good luck with your new rig. I just entered graduate school this summer, in March! Best wishes for your brother
