It's either going to be Ivy 3770K or Sandy 2700K.
Things going for Sandy:
- Runs cooler while overclocked.
- It's able to reach higher overclock speeds.
- Cheaper. Can get one for $289 on newegg right now.
Things going for Ivy:
- Latest and greatest
- Runs faster than Sandy at stock speeds.
- PCI 3.0 support
Although the logical choice would seem to be Ivy, it costs $60 more and I'm still not convinced that I'd be better off with one. I do intend on overclocking, but it's really not a deal breaker for me. My current build is a AMD Phenom II 940 3 GHz so either one is a huge upgrade. Overclocks aside, is Ivy $60 worth faster then Sandy?
Opinions?
