Intel Ivy Bridge Dual Core CPU Benchmarked Against Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge
Some very early performance numbers of Intel’s upcoming 22nm dual-core Ivy Bridge CPU have been posted up on a forum overseas. The site took the 1.8GHz Ivy Bridge B0-stepping dual-core engineering sample processor and ran some tests against the Intel Core i5-2400 quad-core processor that was also down clocked to 1.8GHz. The site only tested CPUmark 99, Super PI and Cinebench R11.5. In Cinebench 11.5 the Ivy Bridge scores a 1.81 points compared to 2.61 for the Core i5-2400 in the multi-threaded CPU benchmark. It would be interesting to see how the power consumption numbers look as this is a dual-core processor versus a quad-core. You can see more images of the Ivy Bridge processor in the forums along with the benchmark results. Just remember this is an ES processor and early silicon, so these numbers are not final.
The benchmarks aren’t very exciting per say, as we’ve got a run of CPUmark 99, Super PI and Finally Cinebench 11.5. In CPUmark 99 the Ivy Bridge CPU scores 278 vs. 276 for the Core i5-2400, but this is a very outdated benchmark by now. Moving on to Super PI it took 22.198 second to finish on the Ivy Bridge and 20.806 seconds on the Core i5-2400. Do remember the Core i5-2400 is heavily underclocked here. Finally in Cinebench 11.5 the Ivy Bridge scores a mere 1.81 points for the CPU compared to 2.61 for the Core i5-2400, but the Ivy Bridge CPU has two cores less which is important to remember.
