Ivy Bridge - What should Be expected

By Joseph Robertson


Intel released its Sandy Bridge in the year 2011 that has been shown to be a glorious invention. Now, this year, Intel plans to launch the Ivy Bridge for its processors. We don't have any info yet, although, it will first be released after the people in AnandTech and Tom's Hardware have conducted some severe tests on them. So , we can target achieving information about the Ivy Bridge anywhere in the 2nd quarter.

As far as the prices are thought to be, we expect them to be anywhere near that of the Sandy Bridge as it will devalue (re costs) in the market and the Ivy Bridge will take its place until Intel makes any new revelation.

We predict to see some swift benefits in the processing speeds of the chipsets that may go with the Ivy Bridge. The new chipsets will be named as Z77, B75, Z75, and the H77. Intel claims that the chipsets will have enhanced processor speeds (obviously) and will most likely be more power efficient when compared with its Sandy Bridge chipsets. Of what is still to be proved is which will Intel's Ivy Bridge chipsets have an increased GPU? And will it be sensible to leave an i5 and adopt this state-of-the-art technology?

That will surely be proved after AnandTech and Tom's Hardware have tested them. One major question that emerges in our minds is that how will the new chipset under the Ivy Bridge series will transmute the gaming experience. That's one real question, which is yet to be answered! The Ivy Bridge with an equivalence to i5 (2500k) airs to be the i5 (3750) implying that a four-core Central Processing Unit (with absolutely no hyper-threading), operating at 3.8 Gigahertz with a six megabytes 1.3 Cache.

Intel has just recently released some data with respect to its Ivy Bridge graphics. It makes claims that the there is 7 to 25% improvements in calculations and a huge improvement of 168-199% apropos the integrated graphics. Obviously, this info would sound more convincing if it came from a 3rd party user (I am not interrogating Intel about these tests).
