Gear Up For Intel Sandy Bridge Processor

ll speed hungers gear up for Intel Sandy Bridge processor! With the launch of this high-end processor Intel is going to add another feather to its cap. The processor is expected to hit the US market early next year. Known as the Second Generation Intel Core Processor, this has been named as “Sandy Bridge”. This new processor will make Intel more powerful and efficient to run mobile devices.

The Sandy Bridge processor line has been designed by Intel keeping notebooks in mind. In the recent times, popularity of mobile devices is also roaring and the company wants to capitalize it with its new Sandy Bridge processors. It is true that Intel has not designed these processor for smartphones or tablets, but the processor can easily give good fight against the 2.5 Ghz quad-core Cortex A15 by ARM.

Intel Sandy Bridge has been designed to replace the current Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 line processors. There will be significant enhancement to performance and capabilities in these new chip lines. The most alluring feature is that in these new processors the core processing and graphics processing have been merged together for the best performance. Intel Sandy Bridge processors will be much cooler and consume lesser power as compared to its predecessors.

According to the company, “Intel’s new processor graphics delivers enhanced visual features focused on the areas where most users are computing today: HD video, 3-D, mainstream gaming, multi-tasking and online socializing and multimedia.” “The processor family will include a new “ring” architecture that allows the built-in processor graphics engine to share resources such as cache, or a memory reservoir, with the processor’s core to increase a device’s computing and graphics performance while maintaining energy efficiency.”

Let’s have a look at the details of Sandy Bridge Processor. It boasts standard clock speed from 2.3 GHz to 3.4 GHz for desktop variants. And for the mobile variants it is from 2.2 GHz to 2.7 GHz. The user can achieve up to 3.8 GHz clock speed by enabling Turbo Boost Technology. There will be Hyper-Threading Technology on some models. At the time of its launch the buyers will get dual-core and quad-core processors. There will be 64KB L1 cache/core (32 KB L1 Data + 32 KB L1 Instruction) (3 clocks) as well as 256KB L2 cache/core, (8 clocks) and Up to 8 MB shared L3 cache (25 clocks) on a ring bus. The integrated graphics core will run at 650 MHz to 850 MHz. if the Turbo Boost Technology is enabled then Sandy Bridge can achieve up to 1350 MHz clock speed.

So, Sandy Bridge will certainly bring a new dimension and offer you a much faster computing experience. gear up for this new processor from Intel. For computer repair support contact an expert.
