One more month and IVB will be here! Who is getting what?

[Rvenger]

I think I will start off with a 3570k since I only single GPU game anyways. As long as I get a healthy 4.4 - 4.5ghz overclock with decent temps, I will be happy.

 

[Puppies04]

I will be keeping my 2500k until IB is shown to clock higher on air

 

[lehtv]

I will be keeping my i7-920 until it bottlenecks my graphics card

 

[LOL_Wut_Axel]

Not much of a step up. Max a 10% boost in performance going to the 3770K, so meh.

 

[Phynaz]

I voted other...Keeping my Lynnfield.

 

[Edrick]

I will be keeping my i7 3820 until Haswell.

Haswell is going to be the one worth upgrading to. People moving from SB to IB are the ones with money to burn (or need the IGP boost).

 

[Arachnotronic]

Keeping the 980X until IVB-E.

 

[Edrick]

Keeping the 980X until IVB-E.

With IB-E cancelled (rumor), does that mean your keeping your 980X forever?

 

[LoneNinja]

Can't afford a new PC right now so I'll be sticking with Phenom II for the time being, if I can afford to later this year I'll probably be building a new gaming rig around the IB I5.

 

[Ajay]

Other. I'm not upgrading to 2013. Either to a IVB-E (if Intel actually releases these and they don't suck) or I'll wait till Haswell (so I would at least benefit from two 'tocks').

 

[Idontcare]

I'm going to get the 3770k but not because of performance needs over my 2600k; rather, because I'm really curious to play around with an IC that has new 22nm 3D xtors under the hood.

 

[Munky]

I'll be keeping my i7-860 until... who knows. I suspect for a long while.

 

[Destiny]

I'll be getting the i7-3770k... and giving my i5-2550k to my brother.

It all depends on the Anandtech reviews though in regards to heat, performance, and stuff...

Will you be moving over to Z77? Or sticking with Z68?

I am pretty certain I am sticking with the existing Z68 unless Z77 merits some better power saving/consumption and/or heat reductions. In any event if IVB turns out to be a flop on the overclocking side, I will certainly keep my 2500k or go to a 2700k.

 

[blckgrffn]

I'll throw this down - whatever I deem to be the best bundle @ Microcenter

This will be for my "prod" ESXi box, actually...

 

[badb0y]

3770k and a z77 board. I don't like MSi boards I just got a good deal on this one.

 

[Joseph F]

I've got a 2500k, and unless I find a killer deal on a 3570k, I'm keeping it.

I will be keeping my i7 3820 until Haswell.

Haswell is going to be the one worth upgrading to. People moving from SB to IB are the ones with money to burn (or need the IGP boost).

If I ever saw someone shelling out $220+ to upgrade their IGP, I'd LOL.

 

[offandon]

moving from my 3 year old i7 920 to the 3770k

 

[Coup27]

I'll sit this one out. I use a dGPU and my mobo has USB3 so there's little benefit this time round.

 

[guskline]

Keeping the rigs below for awhile.

 

[dma0991]

Probably a Core i5 3570K paired with a MSI Z77A-GD65, Core i7 3770K if I have some extra coin to spare. Have yet to finalize the cooling, probably somewhere between a Corsair H100 or a XSPC RS240 but availability of the XSPC unit is scarce. Hopefully the H100 will hold up and keep the temps at an acceptable range(=<5.0GHz), only if I could not get my hands on the XSPC unit first.

 

[vshin]

Keeping my i5-750 @3.8 till Haswell.

 

[TuxDave]

I'm going to get the 3770k but not because of performance needs over my 2600k; rather, because I'm really curious to play around with an IC that has new 22nm 3D xtors under the hood.

Looking forward to the results

I'm looking at the possibility of purchasing something like the Samsung Series 7 Slate for the entire company. I want 2 cores and 4 threads, turbo up to 2.9 at least. I want 4GB of RAM. I want 128GB SSD. I want twice the GPU power of the HD3000. And a 1080p display. And at least the same battery life as the current series 7 slate. And the ability to easily dock into a full 2-3 monitor workstation. So USB 3.0 is a must. All for under $1500 including 2 docks. The first tablet that can do that has me sold.
