In the first part of 2012, Intel is expected to introduce its first chips based on the Ivy Bridge architecture, and recently the specs of the desktop version of these Core i5 and Core i7 parts were detailed in a table leaked by a Chinese website.
Since then, the website has blocked access to the thread in which the CPU info was listed, but fortunately, ComputerBase managed to capture a screen shot of these tables and posted it on their own forum.
This new info confirms some of the Core i5 and Core i7 specs revealed by previous leaks, but also adds some new details we haven’t seen published elsewhere.
According to this table, all third generation Intel Core i7 processors will integrate 4 CPU cores, 8 MB L3 cache and have Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost technologies enabled.
The Core i7 parts, will also pack four CPU cores and support for the Turbo Boost technology (apart from the i5-3470T which is a dual-core SKU), but will come with 6MB of L3 cache and Hyper-Threading will be disabled.
As far as graphics is concerned, Intel will continue to use two separate GPUs in their desktop processors, as all Core i7 parts together with the Core i5-3475S and i5-3570K will come with the HD 4000 graphics unit, while the rest of the chips get the HD 2500.
No matter the GPU included, the base clock speed will remain the same (650MHz), but depending on the chip this can boosted to 1.05 - 1.15 GHz.
The rest of the Ivy Bridge CPU features list includes a built-in dual-channel memory controller supporting up to 1600MHz data rates, support for the AES instruction set, and the majority of Core i5 and Core i7 parts also get VT-d virtualization and Intel’s Trusted Execution technology.
As we have previously revealed, Intel is expected to release its first Ivy Bridge CPUs in April of 2012, the initial launch including third-generation Core i5 and Core i7 desktop products, and Core i7 mobile chips.
