Before the release of Ivy Bridge processors remain less than a week, but, quite unexpectedly appeared information , which relates to the expected overclocking potential using air cooling. Sandy Bridge generation CPU can stably operate at frequencies up to 5 GHz and overclocking community is placing great hopes on the 22 nm manufacturing technology.
It turned out that Ivy Bridge processors are not able to operate stably at the same high frequencies, and when overclocked to 4.6-4.7 GHz they heat to 90 degrees and start throttling. Also note that Intel has increased the value of typical heat dissipation of Core i7-3770K processor to 95-watt (it was assumed that the TDP will be equal to 77 watts).
As explained assocaite, due to problems with the 22 nm production, and three dimensional transistors, Ivy Bridge processors work at a higher voltage than their predecessors. The problem can be solved with the improvement in technology process and the transition to a new stepping. Related Products :
