Intel Ivy Bridge Desktop Processor Models Tabled
Russian website Overclockers.ru claims to have a complete picture of what Intel's upcoming 22 nm Core "Ivy Bridge" desktop (2012 Core Processor Family) looks like. The site compiled model names, extensions, clock speeds, Turbo Boost speeds, L3 cache sizes, and TDP ratings of as many as 18 models, most of which are quad-core.
The table reflects that most clock speeds are similar to today's Sandy Bridge LGA1155 processor models, some have Turbo Boost speeds as high as 3.90 GHz. Since Ivy Bridge silicon is an optical shrink of Sandy Bridge LGA1155, from 32 nm to 22 nm, and since Intel is using a more energy-efficient transistor design, there are significant improvements in TDP ratings.

Either that or I should just buy a much better cooler. :o
Question is... with the new fab and tri-gate, how much of an envelope will there be. Till engineering samples are out in the wild, we probably won't know. The compatibility with SB-E slots certainly won't hurt the number of upgrades if it turns out to be an OC monster!

* Think about GPUs. No one is surprised to be able to buy a card with twice as many cores for the same price one year later. We have been "conditioned" to think differently with CPUs, but in reality the exact same principles apply. Intel just needed to move to Quad cores on the "low-end" models eventually. It happened with IB.
You will need to wait for Haswell for a higher improvement.
I bet lot's of people will be saying it's a fail compared to SB but they forget it's only a die shrink.
Must be a huge lineup when considering the additions of i3 and i5 lines...
And this locked multiplier thing didn't actually happen?
And the wildly profitable overpriced dual core CPUs didn't actually happen?
And the choice of putting the HD2000 gpus into desktop parts didn't actually happen?
Intel doesn't need to move to quadcores. WHY would you think so??? Is there some new entrant to the market offering a competing product??
Getting rid of dual cores would be a wise choice by Intel.
