From the reviews i've been reading these seem incredibly disappointing. No faster then Sandy Bridge, overclock worse and get much hotter

At stock clocks they seem a fair bit better.

Has anyone seen any comparisons between a 3570k and a 2500k both at around 4.5GHz? I'd like to see that.

Yes but nobody here is going to leave it at stock.

They are a bit more power efficient and cooler at stock, however at the same voltage and overclock as Sandy Bridge they run much, much hotter and have virtually zero gain in performance.

Tim from OC3D did a nice review on their youtube channel.

Time to wait for the Tock next year!

I'll be grabbing a 3570k as long as they are below ~$240, if they're too expensive I'll go with the 2500k

Thanks for the pic mate, I'll give them another buzz on Thursday and see if I can get hold of something.

Hi guys.
Still running on a Q9400 here, building new pc soon.
Got the motherboard yesterday cause price dropped, got asrock z77 fatality pro.

I'll probably be the only one here when I say I won't be overclocking (never got into it, don't understand it, too lazy). Will ivy 3570k be worth it, and be a better option over 2500k? Or will 2500k dominate? (keep in mind stock speeds).

Cheers.

Go the ivy 3570 (non-k) if you're not going to overclock. When you're not over clocking, ivy bridge beats sandy bridge hands down.

If you want to get into overclocking this is the best set up for it, it is incredibly easy to get a big but nice, safe and easy overclock on Ivy/Sandy bridge.

If your not going to overclock then I would still suggest going for a 3570k, although the k-series is strictly useful to overclockers they have a much higher resale value (literally $30-$40) so it is worth it if you see yourself upgrading in the next two years. Plus it leaves the option of overclocking open if you do decide to give it a go

*BUT* if you are on a tight budget don't sacrifice anything to go for a 3570k over a 3570.
