Future Intel architectures, known as code- Ivy Bridge, are expected to debut during the first months of 2012. It is an evolution of Sandy Bridge is currently available on the market, with important news on the move to 22 nanometer production technology.
According to advance information from the site An and tech , presumable with more details that emerge in the course of the week directly to its plant in San Francisco Intel Developer Forum, Intel would have chosen to define multiple levels of TDP for these processors . At the base of a simple consideration: to limit the maximum power consumption of processors is often the combination of this dissipation.
Take, for use in notebook systems: Depending on the size of a notebook cooling system will be more or less voluminous, thus more or less able to easily dispose of the specific CPU TDP adopted. From this approach, the solutions will have Ivy Bridge, just in versions designed for notebook systems, different levels of TDP.
We start from solutions or ULV Ultra Low Voltage: The standard for these proposals TDP is 17 watts. At a time when the notebook is connected to a docking station with additional cooling system properly sized processor can reach values of up to 33 watts TDP, of course, against an increase in clock frequency and speed performance. Similarly, the processor can be configured so as to operate with a TDP of less than threshold, eg 13 watts, so as to minimize the impact on consumption and increase battery life.
A similar solutions for the Ivy Bridge top of the range in this case, the TDP on 55 watts can increase or decrease up to 65 watts up to 45 watts. Intel indicates the TDP with 3 different ranges: nominal, configurable lower TDP (down CTDP) and upper configurable TDP (CTDP up). It will be interesting to assess what impact different levels of performance TDP will produce results, as well as Intel and its partners will offer the market this alternative approach to consumer systems.
