Quote:i7 3770K(Ivy) @ 4.5GHz is as fast as i7 2600K(Sandy) @ 5.0GHz
Proof ? The difference between Ivy and Sandy is not that great .
Besides , i have seen a benchmark result that was done by Garteal(i5 2500k @ 4.8GHz ) vs MaJoR (i5 3570k @ 4.5GHz)
Google : All the answers i found was similar to this one

Can you find it?
Most of the benchmarks for ivy bridge out there put it at 10% faster than sandy bridge for most applications when running at the same clock rate.
This could be a case of poor clock rate scaling (diminishing returns). Which would reduce the difference in IPC between them at higher clock rates. In older architectures this would definitely happen but I could swear that both architectures had IPC that scaled nearly perfectly up to 4.8GHz.
