Back in late May, associate armed with measuring instruments determined that the chip area of mobile dual-core processor Ivy Bridge with Intel HD graphics system 4000 is approximately 121 sq. mm For comparison - the quad-core processor with the same graphics engine has an area of 160 square millimeters .
Associte went a step further in his study. As the mobile Intel processors have no heat spreader, the linear dimensions of the crystal are specified explicitly in the image bellow, which allows us to calculate the chip area.
Here is a list of areas of crystal for four mobile processors Ivy Bridge:
-
Four core, Intel HD 4000, 8 MB cache -> 159.82 sq. mm (Stepping E1);
-
Four core, Intel HD 2500, 6 MB cache -> 132.82 sq. mm (stepping N0);
-
Two cores, Intel HD 4000, 4 MB cache -> 118.09 sq. mm (stepping L1);
-
Two cores, Intel HD 2500, 3 MB cache -> 93.58 sq. mm (stepping P0). Related Products :
