Jeremy posted earlier that Guru3D managed to spot a list of Ivy Bridge processors on Intel’s site before getting taken down; however, they did not indicate any specific release dates. A recent article over at TechARP today did mention two dates that are allegedly going to be the launch date and release date for Intel’s latest Ivy Bridge 22nm processors.
According to the article, Intel will launch their Ivy Bridge CPUs on Friday March 23, 2012, and then the actual release date (when hardware will be available) will be April 29, 2012.
Among the new processors are Intel’s standard TDP parts at 77 Watts and low voltage parts with 65 Watt TDPs. Of the standard voltage parts, the "K" series Ivy Bridge CPUs will feature Intel’s newest HD 4000 processor graphics and unlocked multipliers. All the nitty-gritty details including clock speeds and core counts are shown in the chart below. The HD 2500 GPU will is the chip that the remaining processors use.
| Model | Cores / Threads | Clock Speed / Turbo Boost (GHz) | L3 Cache | Processor Graphics | TDP | Launch Price ($USD) |
| i7-3770K | 4 / 8 | 3.5 / 3.9 | 8 MB | HD 4000 | 77 W | $332 |
| i7-3770 | 4 / 8 | 3.4 / 3.9 | 8 MB | HD 4000 | 77 W | $294 |
| i5-3570K | 4 / 4 | 3.4 / 3.8 | 6 MB | HD 4000 | 77 W | $225 |
| i5-3570 | 4 / 4 | 3.4 / 3.8 | 6 MB | HD 2500 | 77 W | $215 |
| i5-3550 | 4 / 4 | 3.3 / 3.7 | 6 MB | HD 2500 | 77 W | $205 |
| i5-3470 | 4 / 4 | 3.2 / 3.6 | 6 MB | HD 2500 | 77 W | NA |
| i5-3450 | 4 / 4 | 3.1 / 3.5 | 6 MB | HD 2500 | 77 W | $184 |
| i5-3330 | 4 / 4 | 3.0 / 3.2 | 6 MB | HD 2500 | 77 W | NA |
Further, Intel’s low voltage Ivy Bridge processors on the desktop feature clock speeds ranging from 2.7 GHz to 3.1 GHz and between 2 and four cores. Of these CPUs, only the top end Intel Core i7-3770T and i7-3770S along with the Core i5-3470T processors will include Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology. Also, only the two top end low voltage parts and the Intel Core i5-3475S Ivy Bridge CPU will use Intel’s new HD 4000 processor graphics. The remaining parts will use the HD 2500 GPU. The chart below lists the current desktop lineup of low voltage parts including price, core count, and clock speeds.
| Model | Cores / Threads | Clock Speed / Turbo Boost (GHz) | L3 Cache | Processor Graphics | TDP | Launch Price ($USD) |
| i7-3770S | 4 / 8 | 3.1 / 3.9 | 8 MB | HD 4000 | 65 W | $294 |
| i7-3770T | 4 / 8 | 2.5 / 3.7 | 8 MB | HD 4000 | 65 W | $294 |
| i5-3570S | 4 / 4 | 3.1 / 3.8 | 6 MB | HD 2500 | 65 W | $205 |
| i5-3570T | 4 / 4 | 2.3 / 3.3 | 6 MB | HD 2500 | 65 W | $205 |
| i5-3550S | 4 / 4 | 3.0 / 3.7 | 6 MB | HD 2500 | 65 W | $205 |
| i5-3475S | 4 / 4 | 2.9 / 3.6 | 6 MB | HD 4000 | 65 W | NA |
| i5-3470S | 4 / 4 | 2.9 / 3.6 | 3 MB | HD 2500 | 65 W | NA |
| i5-3470T | 2 / 4 | 2.9 / 3.6 | 3 MB | HD 2500 | 65 W | $184 |
| i5-3450S | 4 / 4 | 2.8 / 3.5 | 6 MB | HD 2500 | 65 W | $184 |
| i5-3330S | 4 / 4 | 2.7 / 3.2 | 6 MB | HD 2500 | 65 W | NA |
More Ivy Bridge information on Ivy Bridge’s 22nm tri-gate transistors and a preview of the Intel Core i7-3770K is available here and here respectively. Jeremy also tracked down an image of the above charts here.
man, loving the data
man, loving the data charts… makes it REALLY easy to compare parts. These proc part numbers cross my eyes they have so many of them.

Shouldn’t the T models have a
Shouldn’t the T models have a lower TDP in many cases? I seem to recall that being the case for the sandy bridge processors and the clock speeds still appear to be lower.
As per the norm, wikipedia
As per the norm, wikipedia has all the answers on this, and the answer seems to be yes. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_Bridge_%28microarchitecture%29 )
I wonder how much you could
I wonder how much you could shave off the price without the graphics processor? I suspect that a very large number of us have no intention of ever using it.
Anyway, I’ll be interested in seeing how the i7-3770K holds up for a gaming system.
Most consumers will use the

Mobile aside, you surely
Mobile aside, you surely don’t believe most consumers are going to forgo a dedicated discrete GPU for one on-die? And certainly not gamers or graphic artists of any kind?
Notebooks, laptops and that
Notebooks, laptops and that market will most likely use the onboard graphics. As gamers and graphic designers dont make up a huge part of the market making the k versions without graphics would be even more expensive than just unlocking them.
Are the thermals for 3770s
Are the thermals for 3770s and 3770T correct? Usually those skus have lower thermal limits. And they are not likely to be the same at 65Watts

hey guys sorry im new to
hey guys sorry im new to learning about all the computer components and i didnt understand what the processor graphics means? like for the I7-3770K what does hd 4000 mean? i know thats a graphics card but why are they listing it here? little input for a newbie like me would be great. thank you!
Both Intel and AMD’s current
Both Intel and AMD’s current generation of chips (barring a select few) are now a CPU and a GPU. Read up on the Llano and SandyBridge reviews to catch up on APUs/GPUs/random other buzzwords invented to describe them as something other than a CPU.
Gotta love how Intel
Gotta love how Intel downgraded the graphics …
oh i didn’t know that. so
oh i didn’t know that. so that’s what we call a integrated graphics card? Im building a new rig when ivy B is released for Diablo 3, im still going to want to get a good graphics card right?
The onboard graphics will do
The onboard graphics will do fine for everyday usage but games such as Diablo will need more performance so yes you need a discrete videocard.
You could call it an
You could call it an integrated graphics processor but that might confuse some people who consider an IGP to be located on the motherboard as opposed to the same die as the CPU. If you are going Ivy Bridge, I would recommend adding a graphics card to the build. You can always check the Hardware Leaderboard for tips.
I too am a bit currious about
I too am a bit currious about which CPU to get when I build my next rig. I am already running dual GTX560-Ti and intend to put them into the new rig. Do I even NEED a GPU?
Your GTX560-Ti will WAY
Your GTX560-Ti will WAY outperform the on-die GPU, so I would definitely keep it.
I was hoping to see better
I was hoping to see better clock speeds. I wonder if these are 1155’s as they are mostly all quad-core’s. Prices seem good to pick one up at launch, but we should always wait it out on the first run of most items. Either way I plan on having an energy efficient beowulf cluster with these bad boy’s!!
Yes all 1155 as far as i can
Yes all 1155 as far as i can see.
From what I read the Ivy
From what I read the Ivy bridge has been delayed until the 29th of April because they have too many Sandy-bridges in spare.
What kind of price drops can
What kind of price drops can we expect in the Sandy Bridge line-up when these hit?
Been waiting to get a E3-1230 on the cheap.
