2600k@4.8. is it outdated yet?

nikoli707 · Aug 22, 2013

just curious if the newer ivy bridge and haswell cpus are giving up a 15-20%+ performance increase(once overclocked of course) over a 2600k running at 4.8ghz (stable for 2 years now). room temp sometimes gets to about 82f(on 100f+ outdoor temp summer days) which pushes the cpu up to about 82c. but that is rare and usually room temp is around 59-65f and cpu usually stays at 75c max.

i thought i read somewhere that a sandy bridge @ 4.8ghz = ivy bridge @ 4.4ghz = haswell @ 4.0ghz. but i didnt know for sure if this is true.

No, that's not really outdated at all. And if temps are the issue, Haswell is not the solution

Your CPU is just fine, especially at 4.8GHz. Even overclocked Haswell will be only slightly faster, and most of them won't go past 4.5GHz. You won't notice the difference.

IB and Haswell do not overclock as much as SB so you are unlikely to see more than a ~5% improvement over your 4.8GHz SB.

Most people who are happy with their SB overclocks skipped IB and will most likely skip Haswell.

It will likely take another 2-3 years for SB to genuinely start feeling outdated.

nice oc btw, i would like a 4.8 oc on my i5 2500k, getting a custom loop so i can keep my temps down, wish me luck lets hope i can get there ;D if not il be happy with 4.6-4.7ghz

Hasfail blows. (Keep in mind if you see me with a Haswell chip in the near future, I only upgraded because I got a good deal) Keep the 2600K. It's too beast of a OCer to not keep. And who ever told you that, was off by about 200Mhz. Lol.

griptwister :

so your saying its more like SB@4.8=IB@4.6=HW@4.4

I've heard Sandy are the best overclockers. Ivy and Haswell are heat magnets.

The gaps are slightly wider but you got the general idea.

Between architectural enhancement and lower average overclocks on newer CPUs, you will not see much net difference.

In general, the performance increase from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge is 6%. From Ivy Bridge to Haswell it depends on who you ask; ranging from 6% - 10%. For argument sake l'll just use 8%.

That means on average Haswell is about 14.5% more powerful than Sandy Bridge. That in turn means a Haswell CPU running at almost 4.2GHz will be equal to a Sandy Bridge CPU running at 4.8GHz.

Oh not at all. Any CPU hierarchy chart on the internet will tell you there's not a lot of difference in performance from one generation to the next.
