Intel previews of Sandy Bridge

Intel has already prepared the landing of its new processor microarchitecture, the Sandy Bridge. If the deadlines are met, to first see next year and these processors in our PCs

In Anandtech have been lucky to try one of these new processors and can read an article with all the tests that have been submitted to the processor.

As Intel always changes everything. So again will study how to call the micros. Pego Anandtech image that clarifies the matter:

First brand: Intel Core. Then the family, in this case i7. After the thousand figure indicates the generation. As is a two, is the second generation of the i7. The next three figures show the relative power within the generation. And finally the suffix indicates special things: the T indicate low power consumption (up to 45w) the average consumption S and K should indicate that they are processors with unlocked multiplier, so they are easier to overclokear.

At the moment, Intel will keep the following families:

• Core i3: dual-core processor with 3 MB L3 cache and Hypertreading, to take all four wires
• Core i5: except one, the others will be quad-core with off Hypertrading
• Core i7: will be four cores, with 8 megs of cache and Hypertreading activated.

And of course this new architecture will be on desktops and laptops. These processors are integrated graphics card and are made of 322 nm processes. Include a new multimedia instruction set for the AVX.

Of course, as Intel always does prisons. So change the socket and chipsets. Now the socket for these new buses will be the 1155.

As seen in the tests, the graph is not to throw rockets, but Ati 5450 beats a dedicated, not bad to come into the processor. The novelty is that the i7’s will, which we i7 mounting systems with even smaller and lighter than now to save the graph.

And in tests of computing power, I draw much attention from the i5 Core Anandtech have tested, than in almost every test to the current Core i7 880. And as always this is a test drive, hopefully still improve in the final versions.

In summary, it seems that Intel does not want the new AMD affect them.
