Intel Ivy Bridge Core I 3rd Generation

The United States Of America - Success in processor market with Intel Sandy Bridge, now, Intel  is ready with new processor generation  with code name Ivy Bridge. As newest processor generation , it sure this processor Intel Ivy Bridge has newest technology. Several, newest architecture generation, manufacture process 22 nm, Intel 3-D Tri-Gate Transistor, etc. There was a development of newest technology, of course later Intel Ivy Bridge Processor will able to offer higher computation performance for users.

Intel has planned to develop processor technology on Sandy Bridge and now has plan 22 nm manufacture process, so created third processor generation Core I with its name Ivy Bridge. Micro architecture  Ivy Bridge is not too far from Sandy Bridge so there is possibility for mainboard based Sandy Bridge users, using  Ivy Bridge only with doing firmware update ( for some vendors ).

In long time period Intel has announced , start to produce Ivy Bridge chip in third quarter of 2011 and the target till April 2012, now you can find them in market officially. This thing being Intel focus to develop Sandy Bridge for more perfect with Ivy Bridge.

Intel Ivy Bridge Feature

Ivy Bridge is launched that brought many features to make perfect Sandy Bridge, here they are :

- Transistor Tri-Gate (3D ) technology, with power consumption save up to 50% than transistor 2D

- Full support PCI 3.0

- Maximum Multiplier CPU until 63 times ( on Sandy Bridge  maximum  is 57 times )

- Support RAM up to 2800 MT/s in 200 MHz

- Integrated with Intel HD 2500/400 that support DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.1 and OpenCL 1.1

- Built-in GPU has 16 EUS compared Sandy Bridge only 12

- Intel Quick Sync Video

- For mobile processor, it has low voltage

Intel also released TDP for all Core i Ivy Bridge, divided into power, 77 watt, 65 watt, 55 watt, 45 watt and 35 watt for PC desktop, while for mobile processor still in progress.
