System Specs

Ivy Bridge Desktop Core i3 Processor Lineup Detailed, Lack PCIe Gen. 3.0

Details of desktop Core i7 and Core i5 "Ivy Bridge" processors in the LGA1155 package have been detailed at lengths, in the past. Core i3 parts based on the same 22 nm Ivy Bridge silicon, however, were relatively known. Tables listing out updated information about the lineup points out that Intel has as many as five Core i3 "Ivy Bridge" desktop processors in the works, all dual-core, and among which two are low-power parts.

The table also suggests that these Core i3 chips will have reduced features, importantly, the lack of PCI-Express 3.0 bus. When connected to these chips, PCI-E 3.0 add-on cards (such as graphics cards) will function in PCI-Express 2.0 mode. Further, these chips will lack support for AES-NI (accelerates encryption), VT-d (enhanced virtualization), and TXT (security). Certain models in the lineup have faster integrated graphics, denoted by a "5" in the end of the model number. These chips also lack Turbo Boost for the x86 cores, but feature HyperThreading.



Leading the pack is Core i3-3240, clocked at 3.40 GHz, with integrated graphics clocked at 650 MHz / 1020 MHz Dynamic. This is followed by the Core i3-3225, which is clocked at 3.30 GHz, packing faster Intel HD 4000 graphics. The Core i3-3220 is likely the cheapest of the lot, also clocked at 3.30 GHz, but with slower HD 2500 graphics. These three chips have rated TDP of 55W. Moving on to the low-power models, which have 35W TDP, we have the Core i3-3240T, with 3.00 GHz clock speed, and Core i3-3220T, with 2.80 GHz clock speed.

No 3.0? No problem.

I'm more interested in a Core i3 with HD4000 graphics, similar concept to the i3 2105.

EDIT: I see the i3 3225

Can't imagine anyone using an i3 that would need pci-e 3. Doubt anyone is going to be running a 300 euro graphics card with a sub 100 euro processor..

The IB i5's are going to have HTing o.O

Or at least the 35xx series is going to.

Yeah, the 3570K is looking like it is going to be the sweet spot.

they need to make some lower end unlocked chips, even if they have to do dualcore.

there should be

dualcore unlocked

quadcore unlocked

quadcore with HT unlocked

AND BE AFFORDABLE!

fuck you intel and your super high priced cpus. $300+ is not acceptable for a cpu no matter how many cores it has. unless it can clean our houses and cook us dinner no one should be paying you upwards of $1200 for a single cpu.

Remember, AMD charged $1000+ for their top processors when they were on top too. When you have no competition, you can charge whatever people will pay.

Though I think they need to have way more unlocked and overclockable processors. I miss overclocking the snot out of $50 Celerons. Cutting off the low end overclocking has lost them money, as it has guaranteed that any low-mid range rig I build will be an AMD.

Does anyone find it odd that the two unlocked high end socket 1155 processors wont have 3 of the 4 Intel Technologies as shown here?
Why wouldn't they have it when other lower end ones do?

OCers turn them off anyway, so why have them? BUT... they should knock the price down because of the lack of them because they arent including the features they should have

If that's so, then your CPU is a Pentium nowadays.

Alright fair enough. I don't know much about OCing so are you able to explain what the features are meant for and why the OCers would turn them off?
