Is there going to be more cpus after the i7-3770(K) for the socket 1155?
 
Possibly will be, much in the same manner how the 2700K came along, but we'll just have to wait and see.
 
Tweaked Ivy Bridge processors with different clock speeds, TDP, etc, probably. As for architecture updates? No, Ivy Bridge is EOL for 1155.
 
I see you currently have a 2600 at 4.2 ghz with P67. Absolutely no reason for you to upgrade until Haswell or later.

I do, as well. But to each their own. IB is not much of an upgrade over SB, but it is an upgrade nonetheless. It's up to each of us as individuals to determine if that kind of upgrade is worth our money.
 
So I got a 2600k that is everyday usage at 4600mhz 1.275 volts, load temp 55c which means I can probably sit a round of new CPUs out? If so that would be nice considering I only paid $169 at microcenter for this thing many months ago. It's funny that I dropped $1500 on 3 video cards and only spent a tenth of that on the CPU.

Buy server motherboard with 4 sockets LGA 2011 and you will pay $3500 on CPUs solely.

And it has been said here several times already that if you already own a sandy bridge based PC, you wont upgrade to Ivy Bridge because there is very small increase in performance and benefit of doing it is low.

Ya.. funny how the cpu/gpu delta has changed over the years. :p You can probably sit out at least 1 good round of new CPU's. I'm planning on it for a change. I'm planning on sitting on my P67/2500k for at least another year. Got my setup at MC as well. Paid under $300 out the door for the mobo/cpu combo.

why Ivy bridge then? Aww... still waiting to pull the trigger for a new cpu my 955 kinda getting old but dont want to be stuck with lga 1155 if next year there's a much better platform :/
 
There will always be something better next year. That's the way CPU cycles go. Intel seems to have switched to a model where backwards compatibility is no longer a big concern of theirs, while AMD still retains backwards compatibility as a major focus.

everyone say ivy isn't a big leap but haswel will be, plus new lga platfrom that will have few more cpu down the years on it (while lga 1155 will die right?) so meh
 
I have a AsRock pro3 gen3 board sitting idle. I was looking for a 2x00K to use it as a second rig, but thought to wait for a IB 1155 (Maybe swapping it to my main system at pushing the 2600K to the pro3). It seemed a good idea, perhaps I have been wasting my time.
 
I upgraded to a 2600k this year from my old Q9550 running at 3.7Ghz and my son still plays every game on the planet with it. You can go A LOT longer then 1-2 CPU cycles before an upgrade and still have a very good system. I highly doubt I'll upgrade my CPU for 2-3 years, if that. A Sandy Bridge Quad will still be a very good chip 3 years from now and run everything under the sun just fine.

Haswell is vaporware at this point in time. We have no idea how much of a performance improvement it will bring, although, in general, each architecture change has brought about significant improvements. However, Intel has been focusing more on iGPU performance lately than CPU performance (due to pressure from AMD's APUs), which is why Ivy Bridge is called a tock+ rather than just a tock (architecture improvements + die shrink, specifically on the iGPU, rather than just a die shrink), so Haswell may not bring as much as a performance leap in the CPU department as previous launches.

Worry about Haswell when it's actually here. Upgrading from your 955 to an i5-3750k or i7-3770k will definitely be worth it.

Yes and this is purely business reason, never a technical one.

Try rocking along with an E3300 ;-) I have been planning an upgrade for ages now, but I have still not found a really good reason to shell out for a new CPU.

Although I have to admit Starcratft 2 does not run smoothly during big battles.
 
No, it's not subjective, it's actually pretty good advice.

Assuming you have a 2600 at 4.2 ghz with P67, then no, you absolutely do not need to upgrade until Haswell.

First of all, yes, I totally agree, it's his pocket, and his money in his pocket and he can do anything he damn well pleases with the money in his pockets. No one is trying to take that away.

But, seriously? ... c'mon .... what he has and what he would replace it with is basically, at the end of the day, 1 or 2 more frames per second, or 10 seconds or less, IF THAT in encoding time. The only real difference is money. It's a lot of money for almost zero performance gains. The person that told you to wait to Haswell is spot on. Take his advice and just save your money.

Truth is, a lot of kids here see these big marketing words and or new chipset tech features and just start "assuming" there is performance to be had. And they buy into all that noise and use the hype to justify the purchase of all that expensive hardware. The truth is, no, there is hardly any real world gains. Not if he already has an Intel 2500 / 2600 / 2700 etc

Want a real upgrade? Get a HD 7970 or a GTX 680 or if you already have one, get a 2nd video card. That's where the REAL performance gains come in.

Don't want to upgrade or add to your video? Fine, cool, then spend the money on a new bad ass display. The new 27" glossy IPS LED displays out of Korea, the Catleaps and other assorted brand names are really hot right now. Check out the thread in displays for more information.

I've wasted so much money in the past always staying on the bleeding edge of performance and looking back, I really really wish I had someone there at that time giving me the advice I'm giving you now. I could have saved thousands of dollars.

Forget the background noise here about it being ok to upgrade from your 2600 to Ivy Bridge and a new x77 motherboard, and all that other jazz. It's just hot air being put out by rookies with more cents than brains. Trust me, I just to be one of those kidz.
 
Im thinking of doing an upgrade, and SixFoot Duo is right its not really gonna give a huge upgrade. But I am building my rents a computer and they are getting my old 2500k and im gonna throw a 3770k in my Z68 board. It is nice that its pin compatible and keep me upto date as well as giving my folks a computer that is useable! the old Opteron170 isnt cutting it anymore lol
 
i kind of regret getting an H67 motherboard a few months ago... i was being cheap with my non-K i5

Great post, full agree with you. I understand it`s a hobby, so if one is itching to spend some money, look at other peripherals that impact your computing/gaming experience: bigger/higher quality display (most important IMO), keyboard (mechanical?), mouse, EyeFinity/Surround, 3D etc.
