Intel has announced to launch its Ivy Bridge family processors.
Originality, Intel was supposed to launch the new CPU family on April 29, but after the numerous delays, doing it a bit early won’t anyone.
Built around the 22nm manufacturing process, the Ivy Bridge CPUs features Intel’s 3D tri-gate transistors technology, which boosts power efficiency.
Initially, 13quad-core processors of the Core 15 and Core i7 variety are hitting the shelves, most of them aimed at desktop computers. Unfortunately for the ultrabook lovers, dual-core and ultra low voltage Ivy Bridge chips will be delayed yet again until some time later in summer.
The future looks bright for the company, as Intel plans to launch chips with 14nm transistors in 2013, and by 2015 it should even hit 10nm mark. Moor’e law looks to be hard at work at Intel’s labs.
