Abstract: Met de nieuwe Sandy Bridge-processoren introduceert Intel opnieuw een processorlijn welke garant zou moeten staan voor bijzonder goede prestaties, tegen een prijs vergelijkbaar met de vorige serie processoren, namelijk de Nehalem's. Dat Intel ertoe in sta...
Abstract: Hey all and welcome to the new year! We've mentioned in some other reviews that 2011 is going to be a very significant year in the processor industry as we'll be faced with two changes. The first being a new architecture for both Intel and AMD, chang...
Abstract: Sandy Bridge, this is the codename of Intels latest CPU generation which is based on an overworked Nehalem microarchitecture. We had the chance to test two of the upcoming CPUs, namely the Core i7 2600K and the Core i5 2500K. They both come with an imp...
Great compute performance, New 32nm GPU process, Very Low TDP, Improved AESNI,
No Hyperthreading
IMPORTANT: Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure...
There are a number of performance related aspects to summarize here, including CPU, graphics, and motherboard / chipset performance. First let’s focus on CPU performance relative to previous generation Intel processors. The Core i7-2600K is arguably t...
The Sandy Bridge architecture is very exciting as it incorporates so much into such a small package. While the architecture may not be revolutionary, it is a large step forward from the Nehalem/Westmere architectures, as it does almost everything a lit...
When the Sandy Bridge processors first entered our labs we were anticipating a substantial performance increase over the previous generation Core architecture, and to that end the 2500K and 2600K managed to not only meet our expectations, but also gre...
GPU performance greatly improved compared to last generation, Up to 4x AA support, 32 nm CPU, plenty of computation power, GPU fully integrated in the CPU die, Support for DirectX 10.1, Turbo Boost increases GPU clock, HDMI Audio bitstreaming supported, H
No support for DirectX 11, Limited GPU performance, Drivers not as mature as the ones from ATI or NVIDIA, No support for CUDA, PhysX, OpenCL
Intel's new Sandy Bridge IGP manages to claim the performance leadership of all integrated graphics solutions on the market. It offers nearly twice the performance of its predecessor within the Clarkdale CPU. This means that it can compete with the wea...
Very fast, Much improved power efficiency over last generation and competitor's processor, Runs really cool, Improvements over previous generation, Improved integrated graphics, Overclocks really easily with K models, Full hardware transcoding support, Cost-efficient
NonK models have limited overclocking potential
Today’s launch of the Sandy Bridge is an evolution in processor design. Clock per clock, Intel's Lynnfield already has a good performance over AMD’s current offering, and Sandy Bridge just made the gap even wider. Sandy Bridge is 10-40% faster than th...
