In this section of the review we compare the i7 2600K to the i7 3770K in direct CPU computational performance so you can see just what types of performance levels there are between Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge. These tests are designed to stress the various aspects of your CPUs total computing power and how they perform under a full load. We ran the i7 2600K at its stock clock speed of 3.4GHz and the 3770K at both its core clock at 3.5GHz and at an overclocked state at 4.6GHz.
With the release of Ivy Bridge, Intel did not reinvent the wheel, but they did make a better tire to grip the road you're on. Ivy Bridge breathes just enough new life into the desktop environment to at least keep things interesting through the summer season and show a positive direction for the future of embedded graphics.
