Ivy Bridge is the codename for Intel's 22 nm die shrink of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. The first to use tri-gate ("3D") transistors, Ivy Bridge processors will be backwards-compatible with the Sandy Bridge platform requiring only a BIOS/firmware update.[1][2] Intel also plans a new 7-series Panther Point chipsets with Ivy Bridge that will come with integrated USB 3.0.[3]

Intel announced that it had begun production of Ivy Bridge chips in volume in the third quarter of 2011, in preparation for the product launch.[4][5] It planned to begin sale of the processors to middlemen in the last quarter of 2011,[6] with retail availability from April 2012[7] and one source specifying April 8.[8]

Technology

Ivy Bridge feature improvements over Sandy Bridge were expected to include:[9][10]

Thermal design power (TDP), according to an October 2011 leaked Intel roadmap, will come in 77/65/55/45/35W options for desktop processors,[16] while Intel says that mobile processors will use variable TDP (for example TDP of 15W, which automatically rises to 35W when the laptop is plugged into a docking bay; with a corresponding rise in performance).[17]

Performance

Intel's performance targets (compared to Sandy Bridge):

  • Up to 20% increase in CPU performance.[18]
  • 30% to 100% increase in integrated GPU performance.[19] [20]
