Intel announced it’s new advanced processor, which named
as Intel quad core Ivy
Bridge . Intel
quad core Ivy Bridge processor is the next version of
Intel latest multi core processors. It will be mainly aimed target for desktop
supercomputer processor. Just like the Sandy Bridge processor, Ivy Bridge features a maximum of 4 processing cores which are
fused on one die alongside a graphics unit, an 8 MB L3 cache, and the
system agent (contains memory and display controller, DMI). A 256-bit
ring bus will interconnect the links of all the components inside.
Intel is set quad-core Ivy Bridge processor
based on 3D technology. Until now, transistors were 2-D (planar) devices. With using the 3D
transistor, Intel claims it can design more powerful processors with improved
power efficiency over current processors. Intel's 3-D Tri-Gate transistors and
the ability to manufacture it in high volume, mark a substantial change in the
structure of chip design.
Intel said the core of the Ivy Bridge processor the 3-D Tri-Gate transistor would
improves battery life and performance on devices such as smartphones and
tablets, so maybe it can be implanted inside the advanced devices like gadgets
and smartphone, after rebuild the design which based on advanced Ivy Bridge
processor technology.
