Intel launches 3rd-gen Ivy Bridge processors

Intel just announced the arrival of the first 22nm quad-core processor in addition to their 3rd-generation Intel Ivy Bridge line-up.

The state-of-the-art processor, with its Intel HD 4000, promises to deliver better, if not twice 3D Graphics and HD Media processing performance than its predecessors. But it doesn’t stop there. Intel knows how important for people nowadays to share files to love ones, especially videos.

To answer that need, the new processor is armed with Intel Quick Sync Video 2.0 technology that hastens video conversion for a much faster upload. When Intel say faster, they mean twice as fast as the previous 2nd Generation processors and up to 23 times faster than their 1st gen procs.

Intel wants to make sure that they don’t just deliver ground-breaking performance, but they also keep their users safe from tech harm’s way as much as possible. That’s why, the new processor is equipped with Intel’s two security features, Intel Secure Key and Intel OS guard along with their pre-existing security features Intel Identity Protection Technology and Intel Anti-theft technology will definitely ward its users off any possible credential loss that may leave to hacking and eventually identity theft.

According to Intel, computers from leading manufacturers with this processor should be available later this month or early next month as well as the boxed version of it.
