In fact, I'm not expensive: Ivy Bridge official price group exposure

Ivy Bridge's model and specification parameters are already very familiar to us, and even the performance has a rough impression. So what is the price? Now, the answer is revealed...

In fact, for many years, the price of Intel processors (specifically, the desktops here) was basically fixed at some price levels, but they were constantly replaced with new products and made minor adjustments. Ivy Bridge will also be fortunate to continue this tradition. .

The highest-end, unlocked version of the Core i7-3770K is set at $332, which is exactly the same as the Core i7-2700K that will be replaced by it. Of course, they are 15 dollars more expensive than the Core i7-2600K.

Three other "3770s" - the standard Core i7-3770, the low-power Core i7-3770S, and the ultra-low-power Core i7-3770T - are all priced at $294, which is equivalent to the existing Core i7-2600 .

Another unlocked version of the Core i5-3570K is priced at $225, which is $9 higher than the current Core i5-2500K, which is not much to say.

The three models of Core i5-3570T/3550/3550S are all 205 US dollars, exactly the same as the current Core i5-2500T/2500/2500S.

Continuing down, the Core i5-3450/3450S/3450T, like the Core i5-2400/2400S/2390T they are replacing, fell to $184.

In general, the price of Ivy Bridge has basically maintained the current system, and only the K series version is slightly more expensive, which naturally "thanks" to the lack of competition.

In terms of time to market, except for the ultra-low-power dual-core Core i5-3470T that will wait until May, the remaining 10 models will all be launched in April next year.

In terms of performance, Ivy Bridge is up to 15% faster in processor speed than Sandy Bridge. This comes from the improvement of the microarchitecture, on the other hand, from 100-300MHz Turbo Boost; GPU graphics performance on the HD Graphics 4000/2500 Will be much faster than HD Graphics 3000/2000, in particular, will also support DX11, OpenCL. Power consumption, we have seen, Ivy Bridge's thermal design power consumption is basically reduced by 20%, 22nm process contributed.
