Intel has acknowledged that Ivy Bridge CPU overclocking hotter than Sandy Bridge

According to sources, Intel acknowledged that the Core of the third generation (Ivy Bridge) to disperse run hotter than their predecessors. Messages that hot new processors began to appear shortly after the premiere April 23 Ivy Bridge .

Ivy Bridge processors have become the world's first 22-nanometer processors. That transition to finer process technology is partly due to increased heat to disperse. The fact that the die is smaller and therefore decreased and the area of ​​its contact with the plate playing the role of the lid of the processor. In other words, increased "heat flux". Another cause of overheating - the refusal of the solder paste in favor of the role of the thermal interface, originally discovered by enthusiasts, and now confirmed by the manufacturer.

 

Specify that a higher temperature is observed only when working at higher frequencies, so to speak ill of the defect. Confirms this, and the manufacturer, saying that the processors' correspond to the expectations of quality and reliability when operating under normal conditions.

Processor ARM Cortex-A9, manufactured by TSMC 28 nm standards, working under normal conditions at a frequency of 3.1 GHz

According to the company TSMC, test dual-core ARM Cortex-A9, manufactured using 28 nanometer process technology, 28HPM, demonstrated the work at 3.1 GHz, "in typical conditions."

Fabrication process HPM, optimized by the criterion of performance and is designed for the production of chips for mobile devices. In other words, it allows you to combine high performance and low power consumption (reduced leakage currents).

Making a test chip is part of an effort TSMC, whose purpose is to demonstrate the capabilities of single-chip systems, produced at each level of technology development.

According to TSMC, 28-nanometer processor, clocked at 3.1 GHz, twice the performance of a similar product made by TSMC 40-nanometer process technology.
