Be advised, they’re talking in the 40 to 50% range. (Hell, as retired over clocker, getting 20% stable, 24/7, was Valhalla!) More importantly, transistor density does play a large part, and what densities they are!!!<br /> <br /><br />“Focusing on wattage, rather than temperature, paints a clearer picture of how Ivy Bridge’s increased thermal density plays out in real life. Focusing on the chip’s thermal paste obscures the larger trends. With bus-based overclocking having largely gone the way of the dodo and AMD unable to offer an enthusiast challenge to Intel, the days of buying a low-end chip and ramping the clock 30-50% to compensate are well and truly gone. Intel’s desktop products are now largely differentiated by core count, Hyper-Threading, and cache sizes rather than clock speed.”<br /><br /><br />The article reaches same conclusion ITK did, from the technical side, and my conclusion from the less technical side (LN2).<br />In any event, it’s what I’ve been saying for years, just buy the best and fastest Intel has to offer, live in bliss, and be done with it. After all, what’s couple of hundred bucks spread out over the course of two or three years?<br /><br />Peanuts, I say.<br /><br />http://www.extremetech.com/computing/129300-physics-ivy-bridge-and-the-slow-death-of-overclocking?print<br /><br />SPARKSSPARKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535419513995195852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602471396566186819.post-7073382987608862682012-05-23T18:58:36.874+00:002012-05-23T18:58:36.874+00:00I was an avid overclocker back in the pre-Pentium ...I was an avid overclocker back in the pre-Pentium 4 days. Back then, a seemingly small boost in clock speed could deliver significant performance improvement at a considerable cost savings. I can remember OC'ing an AMD 486 chip from 120MHz to 160MHz. It was a pain in the ass having to configure dip switches on a motherboard, but the payoff was worth it.<br /><br />And boosting a Pentium chip from 133 to 166MHz or 166 to 200MHz might not seem like much, but the price differences could be pretty big at the time. You really were getting extra performance and saving some money. Not long after that were the glory days of the Pentium II and III and Celeron chips that would OC from 300 to 450 (or even 500+)MHz. You were still getting a good boost, but RAM and hard drives and video cards were having a greater impact on performance at a lower price point.<br /><br />These days I don't OC very often. Usually just to see the fancy numbers on the screen. But performance... eh. It's nice to know that Photoshop filters are being applied in 3.2 seconds instead of 3.22 seconds, but it's no longer such a big difference. If I was still dabbling in 3D I guess I'd get more out of overclocking. And I can run my video games at 1920x1200 with every last option cranked up to 11 without any problem.<br /><br />It's kind of sad in that I don't get that thrill from overclocking anymore. But at the same time, it's nice that I don't have to. I am paying less for hardware that does more than I could even dream of back in those days.Tonushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082528970434639776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602471396566186819.post-67890902104824486602012-05-23T00:40:48.420+00:002012-05-23T00:40:48.420+00:00“Energy efficient overclocking (an oxymoron anyway...“Energy efficient overclocking (an oxymoron anyway) was not the target for Intel's 22nm process.

I doubt it. If you did, and understood what you were looking at, you wouldn't be surprised. <br /><br />The slides show gate delay vs voltage. Speed vs. power if you prefer. Note that switching speed does not decrease as fast as operating voltage increases for the 22nm process when compared with the 32nm process. I believe it is safe to assume the gap continues to close until the 32nm process actually shows better power/performance values than 22nm (assuming you stay below a critical voltage and don't fry your transistor). <br /><br />Bottom line, Intel's 22nm process was designed for maximum power efficiency at low voltages. So higher temps on a overclocked part shouldn't come as a real surprise to anyone who takes a moment to think about what they are looking at. Energy efficient overclocking (an oxymoron anyway) was not the target for Intel's 22nm process. Improved performance at low voltage was the target and they hit that very well, thank you. <br /><br />What a deal. Make a snarky comment, get an education.

HardOCP teste...Looks like NVIDIA is out for blood. HardOCP tested the GTX 680 and in general it is faster than the Radeon 7970, though either card seems like overkill for single monitor setups. I was impressed that the 680 was as good as the 7970 on triple monitor setups, though. And with an MSRP that is $50 lower, they're looking to make up for lost time.<br /><br />The real battle looks as though it will be in the second or third tier of cards, since the top level does not seem practical for anyone running 2560 x 1600 or lower resolutions.Tonushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082528970434639776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602471396566186819.post-17272723728064806362012-03-06T22:17:30.711+00:002012-03-06T22:17:30.711+00:00Anon: In any case, this is a win/win for AMD and S...Anon: <i>In any case, this is a win/win for AMD and SeaMicro. AMD gets the technology and a foot in the door to the fastest growing server market out there, and SeaMicro investors get a lot of cash.</i><br /><br />Considering how soundly the SB-EP Xeons trounce Interlagos in the various articles around the web today (Anandtech, Tom's, etc), I wouldn't be surprised to see AMD continuing to use Xeons in their high end servers and maybe continue with Atoms in the low end, esp. with the 22nm node. <br /><br />However I do find it funny that AMD is now an Intel OEM :).A Nonny Moosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602471396566186819.post-31853858327547679992012-03-06T02:39:02.680+00:002012-03-06T02:39:02.680+00:00"and SeaMicro investors get a lot of cash.&qu..."and SeaMicro investors get a lot of cash."<br /><br />Jeez, that’s right up AMD’s alley! <br />Let’s see.<br /><br />They sold the idiots in the EU on Dresden,……cash…. cha ching!<br /><br />They sold the idiots in my home state on investing billions in Luther Forrest, ….cash… cha ching!<br /><br />They sold Middle Eastern investors on the semi business,…..cash…. cha ching!<br /><br />Now they see a company with wealthy investors?<br /><br />CASH….CHA CHING!<br /> <br />You can’t make this stuff up.<br /><br />SPARKSSPARKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535419513995195852noreply@blogger.com
