4GHz Quad Core i5-570 Screenshots - [H]ard|Forum

**Steve** · #1 08-07-2009, 05:50 PM

The crew at Coolaler have posted pictures and screenshots of what they claim to be a quad core 2.67GHz i5-570 running at 4GHz on air. There are plenty of pictures so a translator is only required if you plan on reading the accompanying comments.

The MSI board he used looks like a production board. I wonder how close LGA1156 launch is.

Sob.. If only I had the cash to keep up with technology.

WTF, why does the US always get the shaft? We always get the new shit last...

**Trimlock** · #6 08-07-2009, 08:01 PM

Any idea how the i5 compares to the i7? I'm looking for an upgrade over my 9450 and have some fun OC'ing with out breaking the bank.

looks nice
like to see some prices on boards and chips if it has HT i may just go with i5 over an i7

Pic shows 4 cores 4 threads, you have to small of a monitor to see that?

**Blazestorm** · #9 08-08-2009, 04:04 AM

Er what... I'm running my I7 920 @ 4.0ghz on air... with HT...

**Astronomica** · #10 08-08-2009, 04:08 AM

Yeah but it's not an i5, so we aren't interested.

**Blazestorm** · #11 08-08-2009, 04:14 AM

What makes you interested in an i5 then? Cause it's supposed to be cheaper?

**Trimlock** · #12 08-08-2009, 04:38 AM

That and this thread is about the i5, if it out performs my 9450 by alot and ends up being cheap (same with new boards) then I'm moving up to the i5 myself.

**R0N1** · #13 08-08-2009, 05:07 AM

Nice, I assume we will see more results soon. That Intel boxed heatsink looks quite tiny. These will be 95w if I remember correctly.

Or maybe it's just that other companies fail at honoring NDAs...?

**messerchmidt** · #15 08-08-2009, 05:19 AM

if they i5 (and 1566 i7s) are cheap enough, AMD is in trouble...

**Smiththers2** · #16 08-08-2009, 05:54 AM

i thought even the i5 was supposed to be HT with the exception of the entry level one? curious...

im taking a shot in the dark here, but did they turn HT off for overclocking?

**vertigomhs** · #17 08-08-2009, 06:00 AM

according to this: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1438188

no, the i5 750 (not 570) doesnt have HT.

No, they renamed alot of the i5's with HT to i7's

Now theres the i7 8xx series which are LGA1156 based chips with HT and i5 7xx series which are LGA1156 chips without HT

Newegg just priced the AMD Phenom II 955 (chosen 2x popular award winner) at $199 and just announced they sold out, unlike the Core I7 920 which supposedly sells at $199 at some Microcenters and never sells out.

AMD is probably reducing the price of the Phenom II 955 to make way for the new and faster 965. The release of the 965 is expected next week, unlike the Core i5 (which won't be released until Intel gets the bugs of the CPU and the supporting chipset).

For performance comparisons, people previewing the Phenom II 965 are reporting they can get it to 4.3 to 4.4+ Ghz on air without problems.

Other AMD CPUs that unlock and overclock like the Phenom II 550 (~$100) and X3 720 are also going to undercut the I5 because of a good selection of low priced motherboards and the ability to use either DDR2 and DDR3 memory. The Core I5 and I7 lacks a DDR2/DDR3 memory controller and with DDR3 memory starting to rise, a lot of buyers who already have DDR2 memory are very likely to chose an AMD Phenom II system instead of yet another incompatible motherboard and CPU "upgrade" from Intel.

**Benjus** · #20 08-08-2009, 08:52 AM

Just because the Phenom can clock to 4.4 GHz isn't close to telling the whole story. There's a whole lot more to performance, so it's unfair to compare the i7 to the X2 955.

The main reason the X2 is a popular winner is mostly because of the price on X58 boards, independent of the price of the i7. IF X58 boards were as cheap as AM2 then the story would be much, much different.

Don't forget also that with 1156 gone are the restrictions on the OEM manufacturers of motherboards, and the price will dramatically decline over the current x58 line. The i7 is a very good overclocking CPU, regardless. If only the MBs just weren't so damn expensive...
