Core i5-3570S	4	4	3.1 GHz	3.8 GHz	6 MB	HD 2500	65 Watt
Core i5-3570T	4	4	2.3 GHz	3.3 GHz	6 MB	HD 2500	45 Watt
Core i7-3770	4	8	3.4 GHz	3.9 GHz	8 MB	HD 4000	77 Watt
Core i7-3770K	4	8	3.5 GHz	3.9 GHz	8 MB	HD 4000	77 Watt
Core i7-3770S	4	8	3.1 GHz	3.9 GHz	8 MB	HD 4000	65 Watt
Core i7-3770T	4	8	2.5 GHz	3.7 GHz	8 MB	HD 4000	45 Watt

The families will comprise the Core i5 3300, 3400, and 3500 series and the Core i7 3700 series. Almost all of the Core i5 chips will include Intel 2500 HD graphics, while the Core i7 ones as well as the Core i5-3570K come with Intel 4000 HD graphics.

Intel's third third generation Core i7 processors are expected to integrate 4 CPU cores, 8 MB L3 cache and have Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost technologies enabled. In addition, they will pack Intel's HD 4000 graphics processing unit (GPU) clocked at 650 MHz, which can be further increased up to 1000 ~ 1250 GHz, depending on model. The HD 4000 will also support DX11 and OpenCL 1.1 and feature enhanced encode/decode/transcode capabilities. The new integrated graphics supposedly will have 30 percent higher performance than the ones in Sandy Bridge. Last but not least, the Ivy Bridge platform will use DDR3 1600MHz.

The Core i7-3770K is the fastest chip of the new family, clocked at 3.5 GHz - on a par with the top Sandy Bridge i7-2700K chip.

The Core i5 Ivy Bridge family will also have 4 CPU cores, 6 MB L3 cache but no Hyper-Threading.

Besides the desktop lineup, the Ivy Bridge mobile lineup that will also find its way into ultrabooks due in 2012.

Intel won?t publicly acknowledge these leaked plans until CES 2012.
