Time seems to fly. Just over one year ago Intel introduced Sandy Bridge to the world. Packing a high performance CPU, with mega overclockability for the K skews, yet keeping power consumption and heat to a bare minimum. The best part was that Sandy Bridge was affordable and even a big threat to Intel's flagship, the socket 1366. World records were smashed at HWBot, as this little socket 1155 CPU overclocked to 5.8Ghz and beyond. The instructions per clock were way faster then anything we were accustomed too. End of last year, it was time to replace the aging socket 1366 by Sandy Bridge-E. The socket 2011 has big potential with it's quad channel RAM support and multi GPU excellence via 40 PCI-E lanes. But the overall clock speeds of the SB-E were disappointing. Most CPU's don't even go over 5500mhz on cold. Today we are gonna introduce the "Die" shrink of the little affordable Sandy Bridge CPU's : Codename Ivy Bridge
Since Legit Reviews first came online nearly a decade ago the one phrase that we have heard consistently over the years is that “integrated graphics suck” and that you should never use them. Is that true? We gathered up 11 AMD and Intel motherboards to check out integrated graphics performance from 2006 to 2012 to see how they perform on four game titles and Futuremark 3Dmark06. Read on to see how far we have come in recent years and we do have Ivy Bridge numbers!
Intel sticks to their "tick-tock" CPU development cycle, where the "ticks" represent new CPU architectures and the "tocks" represent process refinement. Sandy Bridge CPUs were the "tick", and the new Ivy Bridge CPUs are the "tock". Fabricated on a 22nm process with Intel's new low-leakage "3D" transistors, Ivy Bridge represents a fabrication breakthrough if nothing else. But how does it compare against the immensely popular and powerful Sandy Bridge CPUs? Benchmark Reviews dives into the fray to let you know.
If you plan on buying an Intel Ivy Bridge processor we have an article that you have to read today! We have discovered an issue on Gigabyte motherboards that use the Intel 6-series of chipsets that is going to cause overclockers to cringe. Basically, the Gigabyte Z68 and P67 motherboards can't overclock Ivy Bridge processors as the CPU multiplier is locked due to BIOS limitations. This means that Intel 'k' sku processors like the Intel Core i7-3770K processor are stuck at a multiplier of 39 on these boards!
The Black Edition A8-3870K APU from AMD is aimed at the mainstream market and offers enough performance for occasional gaming at lower resolutions, other multimedia activities or office work, this without the need to buy a dedicated video card. Thanks to the unlocked multiplier, overclocking becomes much easier than before and the performance gains after this operation are quite surprising.
On 15th May 2012, AMD will launch the successor of their consumer oriented Fusion A-series "Llano" APUs, codenamed "Trinity", which will be powered by their new "Piledriver" cores (still 32nm follow-up of the much derided Bulldozer). We take an exclusive look at the architecture behind it... and run full suite of benchmarks in an upcoming piece.
Intel released a new generation of Atom processors based on 32nm transistors. The Atom D2500 and D2700 are intended for cheap mini- or all-in-one PCs. Atom processors with model numbers starting with N are used in netbooks, a product category that has been losing market share since the arrival of tablets. A logical use for Atom processors will of course be the upcoming Windows 8 x86 tablets.
Thus far the Atom processors have not impressed very much. The energy efficiency sacrificed too much performance, and compared to the ARM competitors they weren't even that efficient. AMD's Fusion counterpart with its powerful integrated GPU was more interesting for light-weight computers. Does the new generation Atoms change our perception? Hardware.Info examined the new top model Atom, the D2700.
Zum Start einer neuen CPU-Plattform stellt sich eine Frage immer: Welcher Arbeitsspeicher passt? Wir haben uns „Ivy Bridge“ geschnappt und diverse Konstellationen untersucht.
AMD schickt mit „Trinity“ die zweite Generation der APUs ins Rennen. Erst einmal wird diese auf das Notebook-Segment fokussiert – wir sehen uns den A8-4500M genauer an.
AMD has gainedconsiderable market share in the budget computing segment since last year'slaunch of the Llano APU, with "good enough" CPUperformance balanced with entry discreet level graphics to boot. Afterthe uncompetitive showing of Bulldozer with theirFX enthusiast chips and Opterons, followed by harrowing departures ofhistorically key personnel, the remaining team went back to the drawingboard and made a few tweaks to their 32nm BD core architecture. Theirefforts resulted in Piledriver, which will debut with the2012 Trinity Mobile APUs today and then feature inserver and desktop product refreshes later this year. Is this the light atthe end of the tunnel or just another epic facepalm for AMD?
