The German website Golem claims to be the first Cinebench test on an ultrabook with Intel’s upcoming Ivy Bridge processor to have kept. The efficient processor performs 9% faster than a higher geklokte efficient Sandy Bridge variant.
In Cinebench R10 get the Ivy Bridge processor with a clock speed of 1.7 GHz 7723 points, compared with 7105 points for the Core i5-2677M. This last is one of the ultra low voltage chips which are currently for ultrabooks to be used, and that a clock speed of 1.8 GHz. The Ivy Bridge chip scores 2,38 points to the 64bit version of the newer Cinebench R11.5, while the fuel-efficient Sandy Bridge Core i5, go no further than 2.25 points. According to German site Golem, the new efficient generation in the near to not-fuel-efficient Sandy Bridge chips for mainstreamlaptops as the Core i5-2410M, with a clock speed of 2.3 GHz with Turbo Boost to 2.9 GHz.
The OpenGL component of the benchmark scores for the HD Graphics 4000 igp of the ulv Ivy Bridge processor 12,17 fps, approximately a third faster than the 9,27 fps that the HD Graphics 3000 of the current Core i5 for ultrabooks drop it.
Although the benchmark results are in line with previous posts about the performance gains of Ivy Bridge compared to Sandy Bridge, there should be a side note to be made. There is absolutely not Ivy Bridge processor with a clock speed of 1.7 GHz on Intel’s roadmap. That only makes mention of the Core i5-3427U, with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz and the Core i7 3667U, with a clockspeed of 2GHz. According to Golem, however, it is not uncommon that the use of testchips, the clock speed is reduced. If the chip of the test, the Core i5-3427U, would the scores even higher.
