Intel, the largest processor manufacturer in the world announced the third generation of Intel processors family, Ivy Bridge, built with the world’s first 3D transistors using 22 nm technology. The combination of Intel’s 3D transistor and architectural improvements help increase performance in 3D graphics and HD processing, as the new models are almost twice better than the previous generation of processors. Due to the graphics performance, tasks such as video and photo editing, Internet browsing, watching videos or gaming HD will be performed faster, more accurate and seem more real.
With 20% better performance and new technologies to increase the volume of data used, the new processors increase Intel’s leadership in CPU performance. In coming months, more versions of the third generation of Intel Core will be available for devices such as ultrabooks, servers and intelligent systems for retail, healthcare and other industries.
Visual and gaming experience
The third generation of Intel Core CPUs with Intel HD 4000 graphics offers a two time better performance in 3D graphics than the previous generation of processors, bringing new gaming experiences through more details and higher resolution. Intel Graphics HD 4000 supports Microsoft DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.1 and OpenCL 1.1. With the IntelQuick Sync Video 2.0 technology incorporated in the new processors, users can convert videos two times faster than with the processors from last year and 23 times faster than with PCs older than three years.
Processors contain security features, including Intel Secure Key and Intel OS Guard to protect personal data and identity. Intel Secure Key is a generator that creates a series of random numbers to strengthen encryption algorithms. Intel OS Guard helps protect against hacker attacks targeting the system. These two functions are added to existing capabilities, such as IntelIdentity Protection Technology (Intel IPT) and Intel-Theft Technology (Intel AT) that make Intel platforms some of the safest in the industry. When coupled with Intel Series 7 chipset, new Intel processors with IPT can make a portion of the screen unreadable for spyware with the application “protected transaction display” that helps prevent hackers to obtain the data necessary to steal identity.
Platforms based on the third generation of Intel Core range offer higher transfer speed with USB 3.0 port integrated in Series 7 platform Platform Controller Hub (PCH) and PCI Express 3.0 integrated processor. These next generation I/O technologies enable a greater data flow, minimizing any interruptions to the work on the PC. Systems based on Ivy Bridge, the third generation of Intel Core family, will be available this month.
