*Testing Ivy Bridge: Intel Core i7-3770K Reviewed*

Today the company is unveiling its full new line of Core i7 and Core i5

processors, accompanying chipsets and Centrino wireless options. Ivy Bridge

is a 'tick' release, but Intel is calling it a tick+ due to the more

significant overhaul the graphics side of things is getting. The new chips

are set to provide 20–50% better GPU performance over Sandy Bridge, the

kind of jump we'd normally expect from a tock release.

 

Having already discussed the new Tri-Gate transistors in great detail, the

new 7-series chipsets, and some of the motherboards that use them, we are

going to focus primarily on the Core i7-3770K processor in this review.

 

Thank you.
