The Core i7-3770K and CPU Lineup
With all the gory details out of the way, let’s dive into the actual products being announced in the Ivy Bridge family on the desktop side. Our own Matt Smith will be taking readers through the mobile side of the picture, so be sure to check out his coverage from the PC Perspective home page for that.
The flagship Ivy Bridge processor, the Core i7-3770K, will have a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a top Turbo frequency of 3.90 GHz. Both of these clocks are 100 MHz higher than that of the Core i7-2600K and match up with the Core i7-2700K. The 3770K will of course have four cores and support HyperThreading for eight total addressable threads. The L3 cache size sits at the top end of 8MB and it includes the highest end HD 4000 graphics as well. The price is right as well with an MSRP of only $313.
Other notable processors in this table include the i5-3570K that does not include HyperThreading and runs at 100 MHz lower base and Turbo clocks, yet comes in at a $100 lower in price at $212.
Also keep an eye on that TDP value – even the highest end Core i7-3770K only runs at 77 watts! 22nm process technology at work!
The rest of the desktop lineup for launch looks good too with the low wattage parts going down to a 45 watt TDP with the Core i7-3770T. It still has four cores and supports HyperThreading with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a Turbo clock that is 1.2 GHz higher. With a 45 watt limit though I won’t expect the 3770T to hit that 3.7 GHz clock speed very often or for very long but it should make the best HTPC or ultra-quiet system builder’s dream list.
As you would expect with the continuation of the LGA1155 socket, the new Ivy Bridge processors look basically identical to the Sandy Bridge ones before to the naked eye. If I didn’t have my Sharpie with me at all times processor identification would be a full time position at PC Perspective.
One thousand one hundred and fifty-five. Count ’em!
Now that HD4000 has arrived,
Now that HD4000 has arrived, can OpenCL be used to enhance the performance of the Ivy Bridge processor while simultaneously using a discrete graphics processor? If OpenCL can utilize GPU cycles for general purpose compute tasks then It should be able to utilize the Intel integrated GPU for more general purpose processing power in addition to the Ivy bridge’s other CPU cores, while the discrete GPU uses its resources for the graphics. OpenCL should see all the hardware on the computer as an available resource and It should be able to do this? If not then what is described as Heterogeneous computing has not completely arrived yet! Or is it just a matter of waiting for the software to catch up?
OpenCL does not apply to
OpenCL does not apply to “general purpose” compute tasks. OpenCL applications are extremely parallel algorithms for specialized data sets, there’s nothing general purpose about it.
The “general purpose” in GPGPU simply means “not limited to graphics rendering”.

“And if you happen to be one
“And if you happen to be one of those poor fools still using a Pentium 4 processor – will you please save us all the early death of global warming and upgrade?”
Well, i still have one. I’m a PIV (with HT) big fan (smile*).

I recently got a i7 2600k PC with a GTX 680 graphics card. My motherboard is a Z77. Should I upgrade to the i7 3770k ? is the 10-15% worth the money ?
I got a 3770 and I love it!

You have ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day.
