Do you guys think we can see a performance improvement like the one of Sandy Bridge compared to Bloomfield / Lynnfield?
I've currently got an C2D E8500, HD 4870 and 4 GB DDR2, and I'm thinking of an upgrade for better gaming performance. Sandy bridge looks awesome from what the benchmarks show, and I'm wondering whether I should upgrade now or wait for Ivy Bridge. In addition, I have no need for a hex / octo-core, a quad will be just fine. I've so far gotten the impression that the next launch will feature mostly high end parts with 6/8 cores ...?
Some advice would be much appreciated.
Yeah, and first post. Hi
