14 DAY TRIAL // Little over a week has passed since we found out about Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPU plans for the embedded market, and now two more chips based on this 22nm architecture were uncovered, both form the Core i7 series.
The processors in question are the Core i7-3517UE and i7-3555LE, both of these featuring similar specifications and coming with two computing cores with Hyper-Threading support.
Starting with the Core i7-3517UE, this is an ultra-low voltage CPU with a base clock of 1.7GHz, 2.8GHz maximum Turbo Boost frequency and 4MB of Level 3 cache memory.
Just like Intel’s mobile Ivy Bridge processors, the chip incorporates an HD 4000 graphics engine clocked at 350MHz.
The new Intel part is planned to come as a replacement for the current Core i7-2610UE based on the Sandy Bridge architecture, so it sports the same 17W TDP as that of the latter chip.
However, compared to i7-2610UE, the i7-3517UE has 200 MHz higher core frequency, and 400 MHz higher maximum Turbo Boost frequency.
The second Ivy Bridge embedded CPU to be uncovered by CPU-World is the Intel i7-3555LE which has a base clock speed of 2.5GHz, a 3.2GHz maximum Turbo Boost frequency and an identical 25W TDP as that of the i7-2655LE it will replace.
An integrated HD 4000 graphics core is also included, this time clocked at 550MHz, while the L3 cache size is set at 4MB.
Both processors support DDR3-1600 ECC memory, Intel’s VPro technology and will come in the BGA package.
The two embedded CPUs are expected to arrive in the second or third quarter of 2012, but so far the exact shipping date is not known.
