which is better amongst Core i7 Gulftown and Core i7 Sandy Bridge

Been looking around in the market to purchase a new processor since i am planning to build a new gaming PC. Initially i thought of going for the Core i7 Sanbdy Bridge but now with the advent of the core i7 Bloomfield or Gulftown i am pretty confused whether its good or not. So please suggest me the processor which will perform better with its features. i will be thankful to you.

The first desktop processor in 32-nanometer manufacturing with all the 6-core code-named Harpertown was presented. The fundamentals of the new generations to read - for the benchmark - impressive: 6 cores plus hyperthreading result 12 logical processor cores, the 32 nm production promises higher clock rates than the Bloomfield processors. The 12 megabytes of L3 cache should be increased in some applications also bring a performance boost.

So it happens that we come in contact with 3 Gulftown a total so far. Two retail copies as well as an engineering sample of Intel (thanks for the lending) have so far passed through our hands and have made acquaintance with our cascade. And of course there was the beginning, without the efficiency, the new architecture to get to know and respect to gain experience. Therefore, it was not surprising that we first steps no outstanding results were achieved in the. But for the very first tests, the scores were quite in order. Gulftown is reliable. All the best!!!

As far as i know the Bloomfield also dominates the Gulftown the SSE instruction set, version 4.2, which are new instructions that parse XML structures for computing checksums, and to find the non-zero values are brought to. In the Westmere architecture now twelve new instructions have been added, which Intel "Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions" (AES-NI) sums up. These operations can be integrated encryption acceleration is much of what we in the test of Clarkdale have seen already.

Intel releases new processors, usually on an annual basis according to the "tick-tock model. A tick denotes the reduction of the feature size of an existing micro-architecture, as i3/i5/i7-Model a year ago at the then new Socket 1156 Core for the case. These CPUs still found the Nehalem micro-architecture use, which was introduced two years ago with the first Core i7 models for Socket 1366th The feature size of silicon chips but shrank from 45 to 32 nanometers ("Tick"). Consequently, this year is again a "tock of" that is, a new microarchitecture. And the answers to the code name "Sandy Bridge" processor, the official designations continue to follow the usual core-i scheme.
