2500K vs 1100T

what about en/decoding with the 2 extra cores? and with the 1100T you can use a 8150P or 8170 next year, but 2500K is I7 2600K and whatever the Ivy version is, like 3960K/X which will be powerfull but still

Can't use Ivy Bridge on socket 1155, it will be using socket 2011, it's own, new (again) socket. It will basically be taking over from 1366
 
so is sb-e using 1155, i thought it was ivy used 1155 and to make us of the extra cores sb-e needed the new socket, well i will never be able to afford either so doesn't really matter :(

Thats not correct. Ivy bridge is the upgrade to Sandybridge which will use 1155 socket, and Sandybridge-e, will be socket 2011. So current sandy bridge boards will also get to use Ivybridge chips with a bios update. Sandybridge is the tick, ivy the tock and then sandybridge-e another tick. It is all a bit confusing though.. ;)

Ivy Bridge is pin compatible with Sandy Bridge, and it will work on current LGA1155 motherboards with the appropriate chipset and a firmware and BIOS update (H61, H67, P67, and Z68 are capable of support IB).

So the intel option is even more attractive because you can upgrade to Ivy bridge, bringing PCIe 3, tri-gate transistors, dx 11 on die and in all likelyhood even more overclock-ability with its smaller 22nm lithography. Win.

Aren't Sandy Bridge and Sandy Bridge-E both the same tick (technicaly tock)? Intel just likes to be confusing and separate everything out too much. Here's a chart for all the tick-tocks on wikipedia:

So yeah, Ivy bridge should work on 1155. The enthusiast version of Ivy Bridge will work on socket 2011.
 
My understanding is the tick is an architecture change e.g. Sandybridge and a tock is a die shrink e.g. Ivybridge. So sandybridge-e will be a tick due to it being an architectural change.

*edit*, yeah, i got it the wrong way around regarding tocks and ticks bah ;)
 
Well i don't use any analog clocks or metronomes so i couldn't give a crap about your silly ticks and tocks, just give me one and i'll be happy :D

Intel's weird like that. You would think, naturally, that a tick would be a new architecture.

....but no. :rolleyes:
