Intel have just launched their highly anticipated mainstream 22nm 'Ivy Bridge' LGA1155 processors. The flagship of this new line-up is the Core i7-3770K, which is a quad-core/eight-thread chip with fully unlocked multipliers. It has a 3.5Ghz default clock, can Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz, has 8MB of L3 cache, a dual-channel DDR3-1600 memory interface, 16 PCI-E lanes, native support for PCI-Express 3.0 and USB 3.0, a low 77W TDP, and the much more powerful HD Graphics 4000 IGP.
