• 3rd Generation Intel Core “Ivy Bridge” Processors Launched

    • intel core i7 ivy bridge 3rd Generation Intel Core Ivy Bridge Processors LaunchedFinally, the third generation Intel Core family “Ivy Bridge” processors are out! The new chips are designed for desktops, laptops and all-in-ones, and are the world’s first to use 22nm 3-D tri-Gate transistor technology. The combination of Intel’s cutting-edge 3-D tri-gate transistor technology and architectural enhancements help make possible up to double the 3-D graphics and HD media processing performance compared with Intel’s previous generation of chips.

    The performance gains found in the new processors are due in part to the groundbreaking, three-dimensional structure of the new Intel transistors. Until today, computers, servers and other devices have used only two-dimensional planar transistors. Adding a third dimension to transistors allows Intel to increase transistor density and put more capabilities into every square millimeter of these new processors.

    The 3rd generation Intel Core processor with Intel HD Graphics 4000 delivers up to two times better 3-D graphics performance compared to the previous-generation processor. Intel HD Graphics 4000 supports Microsoft DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.1 and OpenCL 1.1.

    The 3rd generation Intel Core processor also adds security features, including Intel Secure Key and Intel OS Guard to safeguard personal data and identity. Intel Secure Key consists of a digital random number generator that creates truly random numbers to strengthen encryption algorithms. Intel OS Guard helps defend against privilege escalation attacks where a hacker remotely takes over another person’s system.

    Platforms based on 3rd generation Intel Core processors also deliver faster data transfer capabilities made possible by USB 3.0 integrated into the Series 7 Platform Controller Hub (PCH) and PCI Express 3.0 integrated into the processor.

    Systems based on quad-core 3rd generation Intel Core processor products will be available beginning this month from leading system makers.

    In the coming months, additional versions of the 3rd generation Intel Core processors will be available for ultrabooks, servers and intelligent systems in retail, healthcare and other industries.
