"Ivy Bridge" (22 nm)

Ivy Bridge feature improvements over Sandy Bridge include:Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge
  • Tri-gate transistor ("3-D") technology (up to 50% less power consumption at the same performance level as 2-D planar transistors).
  • PCI Express 3.0 support.
  • Max CPU multiplier of 63 (57 for Sandy Bridge).
  • RAM support up to 2800 MT/s in 200 MHz increments.
  • The built-in GPU will have 6 or 16 execution units (EUs), compared to Sandy Bridge's 6 or 12.
  • Intel HD Graphics with DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.1, and OpenCL 1.1 support. OpenGL 4.0 is supported with 9.17.10.2792 WHQL drivers and later drivers.
  • A new random number generator and the RdRand instruction, codenamed Bull Mountain.
  • DDR3L and Configurable TDP for mobile processors.
  • Multiple 4K video playback.
  • Intel Quick Sync Video.
  • 5% to 15% increase in CPU performance
  • 25% to 68% increase in integrated GPU performance.
Intel Core i7 (Quad-Core)
  • All models support: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), TXT, Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, Hyper-threading, Turbo Boost, AES-NI, Smart Cache.
  • Core i7-3610QM, Core i7-3612QM (Socket G2) do not support Intel VT-d.[9]
  • Transistors: 1.4 billion
  • Die size: 160 mm²
