Ivy Bridge, this is the codename of Intels latest CPU generation which is based on an overworked Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. We had the chance to test two new CPUs, namely the Core i7-3770K and the Core i5-3570K. Intel claims that the new quad core processors are faster than the previous generation of Core i7-2XXX as well as Core i5-2XXX CPUs. The new processors also come with 22 nanometer transistors and therefore improved energy efficiency.
