Jimbo Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) SOURCE [FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana] Ivy Bridge micro-architecture, planned for the second quarter 2012, will bring a number of enhancements to CPU and graphics portions of the chip. CPU-world just compiled (courtesy to them) a lits of details and prices, check it out:[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]The CPU cores will feature up to 15%, sometimes even higher performance due to micro-architecture improvements and 100 MHz - 300 MHz higher Turbo Boost frequencies. HD 4000 and HD 2500 graphics will add support for DirectX 11, and it will be considerably faster than current HD 3000 and HD 2000 on-chip graphics. What's more important, better performing Ivy Bridge CPUs will come with 20% lower Thermal Design Power. It's great that upcoming CPUs will run cooler and faster, but at what price? Based on pricing information, that we've seen, desktop Ivy Bridge SKUs will have prices, in most cases identical to Sandy Bridge predecessors. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana]The fastest and the most expensive processor from Core i7 series will be Intel i7-3770K CPU with unlocked clock multiplier. This 3.5 GHz quad-core chip will come with 8 MB L3 cache, Hyper-Threading, and up to 3.9 GHz Turbo Boost. The CPU will replace Core i7-2700K, and it will be priced the same, at $332. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]Three remaining SKUs from Core i7 family, i7-3770, i7-3770S and i7-3770T, will cost $294 in 1K quantities. It's good to see that Intel continues to offer energy-efficient "S" and "T" models at the same price level as mainstream microprocessors. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana]Similar to current Sandy Bridge products, Ivy Bridge Core i5s will feature 4 CPU cores with 6 MB of last level cache. The only exception to this is a dual-core i5-3470T with 3 MB L3 cache. The fastest i5 chip will be i5-3570K, a successor to Core i5-2500K. This CPU will come with $225 price sticker. Other i5-35xx series products, namely Core i5-3550, i5-3550S and i5-3570T, will cost $205, or $20 cheaper than the i5-3570K. i5-34xx processors will be the most affordable from i5 family. There will be three of them available in Q2 2012 at $184: Core i5-3450, i5-3450S and i5-3470T. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana]Table below contains a summary of features of soon to be released Ivy Bridge processors. Dual-core Core i5-3470T will be available in May. Remaining 10 i5 and i7 models will launch in April. Prices of future IB processors are presented in the "Price"column. The last column in the table shows Sandy Bridge model, that will be replaced, or closely matches, upcoming IB CPU: [/FONT] Model Cores Threads Frequency Turbo Frequency L3 cache TDP Price Sandy Bridge CPU / price Core i5-3450 4 4 3.1 GHz 3.5 GHz 6 MB 77 Watt $184 i5-2400 / $184 Core i5-3450S 4 4 2.8 GHz 3.5 GHz 6 MB 65 Watt $184 i5-2400S / $184 Core i5-3470T 2 4 2.9 GHz 3.6 GHz 3 MB 35 Watt $184 i5-2390T / $184 Core i5-3550 4 4 3.3 GHz 3.7 GHz 6 MB 77 Watt $205 i5-2500 / $205 Core i5-3550S 4 4 3 GHz 3.7 GHz 6 MB 65 Watt $205 i5-2500S / $205 Core i5-3570K 4 4 3.4 GHz 3.8 GHz 6 MB 77 Watt $225 i5-2500K / $216 Core i5-3570T 4 4 2.3 GHz 3.3 GHz 6 MB 45 Watt $205 i5-2500T / $205 Core i7-3770 4 8 3.4 GHz 3.9 GHz 8 MB 77 Watt $294 i7-2600 / $294 Core i7-3770K 4 8 3.5 GHz 3.9 GHz 8 MB 77 Watt $332 i7-2700K / $332 Core i7-3770S 4 8 3.1 GHz 3.9 GHz 8 MB 65 Watt $294 i7-2600S / $294 Core i7-3770T 4 8 2.5 GHz 3.7 GHz 8 MB 45 Watt $294 N/A [/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]EDIT: [/FONT][url=http://www.fudzilla.com/processors/item/25351-ivy-bridge-coming-on-april-8]SOURCE[/url][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]Intel is reportedly planning to introduce its next generation Ivy Bridge processors on April 8.According to Taiwanese PC makers, Intel has lined up 25 new parts in total, 17 reserved for desktops and eight mobile parts, including a couple of ultrabook chips.However, not all of them will show up in April. Four desktop Core i7 and three Core i5 processors should show up in April, with prices ranging from $184 to $332. Intel will also launch four 7-series chipsets in April, with an additional two business oriented variants coming in May.In the notebook department, Intel plans to release three pricey Core i7 quad-cores in April. The Core i7-3920QM, 3820QM and 3720QM will cost $1,096, $568 and $378. Core i5 models will follow a bit later, along with the Core i7-3667U and Core i5-3427U, two ultrabook oriented parts. Four mobile chipsets are also rolling out in April.[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT] Edited December 28, 2011 by Jimbo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widezu69 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I hope it's a typo and it should read 3920XM instead of QM because then I'd be really pissed if there is a lack of unlocked multi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted December 30, 2011 Founder Share Posted December 30, 2011 It has to be a typo, $1K+ would otherwise be a total fail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Rumours abound that ivy bridge desktop chips are clocking to 6ghz+ on closed loop water coolers such as the H100. Jimbo is happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo is happy. Wow, now just imagine how nicely the notebook versions will also OC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted January 1, 2012 Founder Share Posted January 1, 2012 Given current mobile SB OCs I would expect around 5.5GHz on a single core with IB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) We could even see validations as high as 5.9 GHz ~ being as 2600k Jimbo 5.3ghz phase change, mobile 2960xm 5.269 validation all on Sandy so Ivy bridge should show usable 5-5.5ghz overclocks and for benching only about 5.5-5.9ghz depending on bench or active cores etc. Edited January 2, 2012 by mw86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
