A 4.4GHz Ivy Bridge is a higher clock speed than a 4.6GHz Sandy Bridge. Roughly a 4.4GHz Ivy Bridge is the equivalent of a 4.9GHz Sandy Bridge.

I hope that explains it.

So the Ivy Bridge would be better unless you somehow got the i7 considerably cheaper than a 3570K then I would take that deal.

Plus the Ivy Bridge is Intel's newest architecture so it has the newest technology.

I don't know why you think an i7 will run it better when it's just an i5 but has Hyper-Threading, that is what makes it an i7. The i7 is mainly for rendering, video editing, 3D modeling, CAD and other work of that degree.

The 3570K is .1GHz less than the 3770K. So other than that .1GHz and Hyper-Threading that is your difference between them two CPU's. The same goes with Sandy Bridge.

Edit: The Sandy Bridge can overclock higher and produces less heat but the Ivy Bridge doesn't have to overclock as much to match the clock speed performance.

I'm not saying the i7 is better than the i5,I just saw the i7 30 pounds cheaper and I am set on a 4.4 ghz 3570k anyways

You know you can't guarantee an OC, right?

EVERY CPU is different, EVERY setup is different, EVERY board is different.

'X' guy can get a perfectly stable 5.0ghz OC on a 2500k with a NH-D14 and 'Z' would only be able to achieve 4.5ghz. It's all about the silicon lottery as they say.

If you need the extra 4 threads, get the i7...if you don't, don't.

A SB can overclock higher so in theory a 4.7ghz 2500k > a 4.3ghz 3570k.

I know about that,that's why I'm buying a pre overclocked so o a, guaranteed that OC

Pre-overclocked chip? Please, just buy a 2500k and push it to 5GHz, I did so on my friend's 2500k, runs just fine with appropriate voltage. Though it does vary chip to chip, however I've never witnessed a 2500k that couldn't reach into the upper 4GHz range.
Where are you even buying this pre-oc'd chip?
