It feels like it was only yesterday that Intel announced the arrival of their second generation Core processors a.k.a the Sandy Bridge at CES’11 but guess what, Intel’s next processor – codenamed Ivy Bridge - is actually heading to the shelves sooner than you might think. This is the strengthen by a number of information that have just made their way into the Internet.
To be manufactured using the new 22nm process technology, among new features that are coming to Ivy Bridge processors is a DirectX 11 graphics core and second generation QuickSync video processing technology; together with native support for PCIe 3.0 and DDR3-1600 memories. Initial information also stated that the new line of processors will still be using Sandy Bridge’s LGA 1155 sockets and they are compatible with the existing Intel H67 and P67-equipped motherboards via BIOS and firmware updates.
That should be a good new to current H67 and P67 motherboards owners although for the time being, they have to deal with the chipset design flaw that Intel found out recently. The new Intel Ivy Bridge processors are expected to hit the market in 2012.
