"but now i heard from u guys ivy got heating issues ...........8 seconds is not a huge + point ...performance wise sandybridge is more reliable than ivy cause ivy is not in original shape yet"
I wanted to reply in the thread, really did, but Hasan asked us not to, thus I refrained and brought it here.
Ivy has heating issues in theory and in practice. Look at the ES with Afaq and Ali Tayyab. Every Ivy has the issue. It's not any rocket science. I explained why it happens earlier on two.
As for the eight seconds part, it was merely to prove a point. I am NOT implying that the gain will be 8 seconds. It can be much more, or less.
As far as ivy is concerned, it's 99% in original shape, as its ES have been sent, and received too by our reviewers at hand. Secondly, it's releasing in a few days. How do you expect them to do the production in 2 days. Obviously, production has started!
By the way, I own a Sandy processor, just so you know.
