Ivy Bridge is the codename for Intel's 22 nm die shrink of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture based on tri-gate ("3D") transistors. Ivy Bridge processors will be backwards-compatible with the Sandy Bridge platform, but might require a firmware update (vendor specific),[1][2]. Intel has released new 7-series Panther Point chipsets with integrated USB 3.0 to complement Ivy Bridge.[3]

Intel announced that it had begun volume production of Ivy Bridge chips in the third quarter of 2011[4], and sources were specifying the 29th of April 2012 as the availability date[5], though now it is thought that Ivy Bridge will launch on 23 April[6]. In February 2012, it was reported that Intel would postpone the launch of the dual-core mobile CPUs (not desktop CPUs or quad-core mobile CPUs) to June 2012 to allow more time to sell surplus inventory of Sandy Bridge CPUs, which accumulated due to slower than expected computer sales.[7]

Features

Ivy Bridge feature improvements over Sandy Bridge include:[8][9]

Thermal design power (TDP), according to an October 2011 leaked Intel roadmap, will come in 77/65/55/45/35 W options for desktop processors,[17] while Intel says that mobile processors will use Configurable TDP.[18]

Performance

Compared to Sandy Bridge (according to sources):

  • 5% to 15% increase in CPU performance[19]
  • 20% to 50% increase in integrated GPU performance[19]
