i7-3770 Vs i7-2600, the Sandy Vs Ivy official performance leaked

The giant of processors maker Intel release an official comparison result of the next generation Ivy Bridge processors with the current Sandy Bridge CPUs and promise an improvement in performance from 7% to 25%, thanks to the new 22nm processing and a sandy bridge more improved architecture .

The comparison also show that when we come to graphic performance we found that the performance is up to 199% comparing the Core i 3000 series with the Core i 2000 series with support of the DX11, this will make it the best choice for HTPC so no need to buy another graphic card extension for your HTPC, and all that with an improved power consumption over the Sandy Bridge

On to the benchmarks, they compared their new 3.4 GHz i7-3770 (4 cores + HT) with the current 3.4 GHz i7-2600, also with 4 cores + HT:

• +7% higher overall SYSmark 2012 score
• +14% higher overall HDXPRT 2011 score
• +15% higher Cinebench 11.5 score
• +13% better ProShow Gold 4.5 result
• +25% faster performance in Excel 2010
• +56% faster performance in ArcSoft Media Expresso
• +192% higher overall 3DMark Vantage score
• +17% faster performance in 3DMark Vantage CPU benchmark
• +199% faster performance in 3DMark Vantage GPU benchmark

The key architectural enhancements delivering these improvements are:

• Intel's new 22nm 3D Tri-Gate technology. More on this here
• Enhanced AVX acceleration
• IGP performance improved by 30% compared to its predecessor
• IGP supports DX11 and OpenCL 1.1
• PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface, including a PCI Express 2.0 x4 controller
