Intel Unveils Two Core Ivy Bridge Embedded Processors


Looks like Intel will be adding a series of embedded processors on its Ivy Bridge CPU lineup, the i3-3217UE and i3-3120ME. The specs of two such models were recently unveiled and published online, with two computing cores and Hyper-Threading support.

The Core i3-3217UE is an ultra-low voltage CPU initially clocked at 1.6GHz, it has 3MB Level 3 cache memory, but no Turbo Boost support. The chip has an integrated HD 4000 graphics engine clocked at 350MHz, which can go as high as 900MHz when the need arises. The new Intel part is reported to replace the current Core i3-2340UE that's based on the Sandy Bridge architecture, so it sports the same 17W TDP like that of the latter chip.

The second Ivy Bridge embedded CPU, the Core i3-3120ME, is initially clocked at 2.4GHz and an identical 35W TDP as that of the i3-2310E it will replace. It incorporates an HD 4000 graphics core clocked at 650MHz, and has an L3 cache size of 3MB.

The two processors support DDR3-1600 ECC memory, Intel's VPro technology and will come in the BGA package, while their PCI Express support will be reverting back to 2.0. The two embedded CPUs should be arriving any time in the second or third quarter of 2012.
