Today, Intel is officially unveiling Ivy Bridge, and it is a significant launch. With Sandy Bridge, Intel took things a little further, sticking with the proven 32nm process, but continuing the march towards a true System-on-Chip (SoC) by integrating the GPU portion onto the CPU die itself, which was the logical and inevitable outcome. Not only were these the first chips to be manufactured on the then cutting-edge 32nm process, but they were also the very first processors to integrate a GPU onto the CPU package. This is Intel’s first new manufacturing process since January 2010, when they launched the innovative Clarkdale processors. All this hype has been understandable though, for a number of reasons.
We don’t think that it is an exaggeration to say that people have been talking about Ivy Bridge seemingly since the day that Sandy Bridge was launched back in January 2011.
