Intel Ivy Bridge Processor Official Benchmark and Slides

Intel Corp. has revealed official performance advantage expectations for its next-generation microprocessors code-named Ivy Bridge.

As expected, the Ivy Bridge processors manage to come out on top in all the scenarios tested, which was to be expected considering these bring some new architecture improvements and higher Turbo Boost speeds.

 

Of course that when graphics come into play, the difference between the two cores is even greater since Ivy Bridge went through a major redesign in this area.

They’ve produced a raft of benchmarks, which reveal improvements such as 56% in ArcSoft Media Expresso, 25% in Excel 2010 and a 199% gain in the 3D Mark Vantage GPU benchmark.

Unfortunately, they haven’t released any benchmarks based on high performance 3D games, but it’s probably safe to say that they will be similarly improved.

Now, on to the benchmarks, which compare their new 3.4 GHz i7-3770 (4 cores + HT) with the current 3.4 GHz i7-2600, also with 4 cores + HT:

•     +7% higher overall SYSmark 2012 score
•     +14% higher overall HDXPRT 2011 score
•     +15% higher Cinebench 11.5 score
•     +13% better ProShow Gold 4.5 result
•     +25% faster performance in Excel 2010
•     +56% faster performance in ArcSoft Media Expresso
•     +192% higher overall 3DMark Vantage score
•     +17% faster performance in 3DMark Vantage CPU benchmark
•     +199% faster performance in 3DMark Vantage GPU benchmark

The key architectural enhancements delivering these improvements are:

1.     Intel’s new 22nm 3D Tri-Gate technology. More on this here
2.     Enhanced AVX acceleration
3.     IGP performance improved by 30% compared to its predecessor
4.     IGP supports DX11 and OpenCL 1.1
5.     PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface, including a PCI Express 2.0 x4 controller
