Intel finally introduced the Intel Core third generation, known under the code name Ivy Bridge. These solutions have become the world's first processors built on 22 nm technological standards with the use of three dimensional transistor Tri-Gate.
All processors Ivy Bridge have a common crystal design , which implies the possibility of a simple chip scaling in order to create a diverse range of solutions in different price categories for the client and corporate market. The transition to new production technology in the strategy of Tick not only reduce the power consumption of processors Ivy Bridge by up to 20%, but also increase their speed by 20%.
Each of the four cores has 256KB cache in the second level, and also has access to 8 MB (volume, however, depends on the model) in the third-level . Third cache level is shared not only between the cores, but also with the graphics system. Ivy Bridge supports 16 line interface PCI Express 3.0, which can be shared between multiple graphics cards under 8 +8 or 8 + 4 + 4 (depending on the model of the motherboard and chipset). Among other things, the processor provides superior instruction block AVX and AES-NI, as well as the graphics engine that supports API DirectX 11 and participating in the acceleration of certain problems (such as video encoding technology within QuickSync). In the area of 160 sq. mm chip are placed 1.4 billion transistors.
The range of processors Ivy Bridge consists of 9 models, details can be found on the slides below (note that senior TDP processors is 77 watts, not 95, as the label on the box with the product). With regard to mobility, it will be released initially in five models: Core i7-3615QM, Core i7-3610QM, Core i7-3612QM, Core i7-3720QM, Core i7-3820QM and Core i7-3920XM.
Sales of Ivy Bridge processors first wave will begin on 29 April. Related Products :
