Ivy Bridge: six new Core i5 on approach

Small update on the new Core i5 processor of third-generation approach...

In early June, are six new processors Intel which should be launched in the Core i5 series processor range 3000. Talking about many processors Ivy Bridge engraved 22 nm to desktops, which disembark under these trade names: Core i5-3470, Core i5-3470S, Core i5-3470T, Core i5-3475S, Core i5-3570, Core i5-3570S.

It's CPU with four hearts (except the model with the reference ends with a T, which displays a max of 35W TDP) with 6 MB L3 cache, processors from 2.8 to 3.4 GHz, and 3.5 to 3.8 GHz in Turbo mode. However, not Intel HD 4000 (except for the Core i5-3475S) to the program, but a less powerful Intel HD 2500 iGPU. CPU World table is once more perfect to get all the info at a glance.

The screen 36 "Eizo 4K2K approach

A giant LCD back-lit led to the definition 4 K, it is expensive, pay especially when Eizo which manufactures.

Eizo, specialist of the screens for image professionals, says a little more on his new DuraVision FDH3601, a "single market" monitor model which will be equipped with a dalle LCD "36.4 native definition of 4096 x 2160 pixels. It will propose vision of 176 ° angles and promises reduced to minimize color variations. Eizo address first to workers of geophysics or air traffic control, areas in which dispose of large well defined screens is a necessity. "For an air traffic controller, this single screen may replace the monitor 2 K x 2 K and all auxiliary monitors." "There is therefore more the gene of the bezels" explains for example Eizo.

          

Its connections include two ports Dual-Link DVI - D and two DisplayPort, knowing that a mode "picture in picture" will be proposed. A detector of presence will be part to save energy and the guarantee of this monitor will be two years. The grey to grey response time is announced in 8 ms, while the maximum brightness will be 700 cd/m², and the contrast of 1000: 1. On foot, it will be ergonomic, adjustable in height (100 mm), tilt (25 °) and rotation (left-right) of 344 °.

Always talking this exception monitor in the future, but Eizo today tells us that it has to enter in the phase of mass production, which therefore announces its next effective availability. The recommended selling price approach the 25,000 euros... Help!

New chipsets for Bulldozer in approach at AMD

A leak from AMD indicates the arrival of new chipsets for socket AM3 processors a + operator, it is called the Bulldozer course.

AMD Bulldozer operator architecture, the famous FX-Series tested here, are installed on the socket AM3 +. A platform that could see its life lie with the emergence of new chipsets in 2012, 1070 and 1090FX AMD. In any case, the assertions of the leaker Turkish DonanimHaber that publishes excerpts from documents in-house presentations at AMD. We see these new chipsets appear, destined to replace the 900 series that come with the latest desktop processors from depth.

No progress is expected towards the PCIe they should be satisfied with the standard 2.0, but the higher end of these chipsets, the AMD 1090FX, should provide the same bandwidth as that proposed by the Ivy Bridge platform of Intel. All new products are expected from the side of Southbridge, the SB1060, which will manage eight ports SATA 6 Gb / s and USB 3.0 natively (not for the AMD 1070).

No revolution in sight so, and certainly not enough to change the motherboard for its FX Series CPU, but changes that could be attractive to buyers who were preparing to renew their full machine-based AMD. It is not known exactly when the motherboard manufacturers begin to incorporate these chipsets.
