Finally got my asus gtx590 :) from ebay,. California,. lol couldn't find a single GTX590 graphics card anywhere here in Europe,.. all sold-out or something,..

ihad ahve to try some other benchmarks,. Blingeye

also seems the clock speed is very low and its easy to over-clock wich i am not going to do,.

I imagine newer versions should favor me more. Dunno what's up with the slow 2nd pass. EDIT: actually, HT on the i7's (+30-40% I've heard) should pretty much erode the speed gain from architectural improvements (+20%) since Nehalem. Probably getting similar scores due to higher stock clocks.
Did some encoding for phone a few days back - got ~36fps for 720p slower preset.

'grats on the 3570k zinga! :D

Ok ran some x264 benchmarking on my laptop.

And I tried also with an updated x264

1st pass is significantly faster, 2nd pass slightly faster.

Both my results show a trend of deceasing speed on the later passes. I totally have no idea what's up with that :(.

Does HT really give that much bonus? I always thought it was more along the lines of 10-20%.

Either way, your 28fps average doesn't really seem right.... I mean my 2GHz (40% less than your 3.4GHz) laptop CPU, of an older architecture, can get 23fps....

Maybe thermal scaling? Perhaps the CPU's getting hot and scales back - IDK if CPUs do that, but maybe.

Assassinator Wrote: [ -> ]Does HT really give that much bonus? I always thought it was more along the lines of 10-20%.

For x264, closer to 30% - I recall Dark Shikari saying around 30-40%.
This page shows around 30%: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/288?vs=287
x264 is probably one of the best uses of HT actually.

Architecture is the same, Ivy is just a die shrink. 3570K is pretty much the same as a 2500K, just 100MHz higher stock clock, runs cooler & uses less power, but less overclockable than the 2500K.
2GHz » add HT and that's probably equivalent to around 2.7GHz, which is around 25% slower than 3.4GHz; 28/1.25 = 22.4 » close.

That's not too much of an upgrade then. I mean if you overclock your old CPU you can almost get that much.

You have heaps of money, why not buy something faster? Don't think you need it?

^ Fixed
Which is why some people are still getting the 2500K instead.

But +$150 for a 3770K (~$390) is totally not worth it. 2600K (~$320), maybe, but it feels kinda poo poo waiting for Ivy Bridge to get that. Also the better GPU in IB - am currently using Intel HD 4000, but maybe I'll plug my GPU back in - SC2 seems a bit laggy if I don't run at minimum settings. As you said, I don't really need it - I was quite happy with a Q6600 running at stock.
I probably would've gotten a 3930K if it could be gotten for $500, but it seems stuck at around the $600 mark.

Well, you're going to be using the computer for a few years. And it's not like a couple of hundred is really that much - you can work that up in 1 day of work.

I mean in the past I always bought budget parts and stuff (my old PC was around $600 all up, including box and PSU and HDDs and everything), but now that I think about it, it'll probably one area I wouldn't mind splurging a bit, considering how much time I spend on my computer.... So yeah the next time I build one, Ill make it good.

should be getting a x9100 in my laptop very soon heard it runs quite nice and cool at 3.6ghz and undervolted which my system is tested working with

then all i need is that quadro fx3700m

But how often are you fully using the CPU?
Quite rarely for me. An attractive factor with Ivy Bridge is the lower power draw, since the PC is on most of the day, but arguably idle pretty much all the time.
Apart from HT (i7) and more cores (well, only 2 more unless you go into Xeon territory), there actually isn't really any better CPU than mine. Only really video encoding currently benefits from >4 threads at the moment - something I don't mind running in the background anyway.
