Do iMacs have Ivy Bridge processors?

Trying to find out if the iMacs currently for sale through Apple use Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge processors.

They currently use Sandy Bridge.

    Hello i buy  a new macbook air white i5 ivy bridge processor and when i play a game the cpu themperature is 88-100c it is normal?

    One thing I should add. While "normal", it doesn't make it preferrrable that you should be always running near the maximum capability of the unit. The new 2012 MBA's are outfitted with CPU's that have a maximum running temp of 115 degrees C. (the 2011's were rated at 100 degrees C.)
    At, or near this point, the CPU will shut down the system to safeguard from overheating. Right under this point the system's fan will be running at top speed. Any mechanical device, run at or near it's capability will undergo accelerated wear. Just how much in this situation is unknown. as such, I don't use my MBA as a full-time gaming rig. I try and keep it sensible.
    The MBA is not really designed for gaming, but it's competent performance sometimes lures us to use it as such.

  • H8-1260t / IPISB-CH2 (Chicago) - Can HP add support for Ivy Bridge processors?

    The latest UEFI BIOS upgrade for this Sandy Bridge H67-based motherboard is 7.12, dated 10/12/2011. The chipset has the capability to run Ivy Bridge CPUs (released Q4 2011) with a BIOS update to the microcode table (add the CPUID table entries for the 306xx CPUs to the 209xx Sandy Bridge CPUs already in the table, that's all!). I have checked the BIOS using AMI's MMtool, and BIOS ver 7.12 only supports Sandy Bridge CPUs. Can customers using the IPISB-CH2 motherboard, like me, get a BIOS update to support IvyBridge CPUs? -imsai8080 ref:http://www.asrock.com/news/events/2012ivy/ Please note that ASRock is the end-user sales department of Pegatron, which made the IPISB-CH2 motherboard for HP.H67DE3 looks very like the "Chicago" board. further ref:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155http://www.techpowerup.com/153756/ivy-bridge-quad-core-to-have-77w-tdp-intel-plans-for-lga1155-ivy-bridge-entry.html

I have examined the microcode and there is no support for it, though there is pleanty of room to add it. The BIOS itself is dated 10/12/2011. Simply download the update, change the file extension to .zip, look in the zip, and you'll see the actual mod date for CHG_712_Signed.rom file is 10/12/2011. All they did was update the sp56123.rtf file on 2/14/2012, and later moved it the newer Support format in 4/21/2013 (no files were changed internally). I don't know why they improperly dated it for 4/13. Hope that answers your question, although not the answer either of us wanted.Just to confirm, that's what I'm currently running on a h8-1260t, and 10/12/2011 is the date embedded in the BIOS as well.Big_Dave:Both of us understand that Pegatron is not a retail supplier, and requests for BIOS updates come from the customer, HP. The Ivy Bridge processors were released April 2012, 4 months after the intro of the Chicago board, and ASRock, the *retail* side of Pegatron, announced that all 2nd gen Sandy Bridge mobos (including the H67 motherboards) would have Ivy Bridge support added. IMHO, HP should have requested a BIOS upgrade for their 2nd gen Sandy Bridge Pegatron-based HP motherboards. Obviously, that didn't happen, since their only update is actually dated 10/2011 (see above).It doesn't seem unreasonable to me for HP to drop an request to Pegatron, a *current* motherboard supplier for HP, to cut an upgrade to support the HP motherboards derived fom the retail motherboards Pegatron already have upgraded circa 3 months after the release of the HP (Pegatron) "Chicago" motherboard, which looks AMAZINGLY like the ASRock (Pegatron retail) H67DE3 with the dual graphics support removed (standard for HP), SATA 4 & 5 moved to board edge, and HP proprietary frontpanel connector added in the original place for the H67DE3 SATA 4 & 5 <grin>. Probably a couple minutes with the right BIOS tools and updated microcode from Intel (which I also have!), to support all Chicago-based systems. I'm hoping that maybe a HP Support rep can chime in on this, or someone can tell me where to find tools to recompile to add the SAFUWIN-compatible checksums to a modded BIOS? -Imsai8080 P.S. If it wasn't for the code checksums and the nonstandard SAFUWIN flash programmer, I would already have added the Ivy Bridge microcode myself. Gave it a try, no go so far, but I might keep trying. 

  • W530 and Ivy Bridge refresh processors?

    Does anyone know when Lenovo will start shipping with the new Ivy Bridge processors that were released in Sept. '12? I'm planning to get a new W530 and was about to buy one with the i7-3920XM but for roughly the same price, I'd rather have the i7-3940XM.
    Thanks for any replies!

    On paper, the new processor should offer a 3 percent advantage over the Core i7-3920XM.

  • Imac Ivy Bridge

    Bonjour, je voudrais savoir si après la Keynote du 11 juin les imacs sont passés à la génération Ivy Bridge?
    Hello, i would know if after the 11th june Keynote, Imacs are feature with Ivy Bridge Processors?

    No they are not.  Apple has made no mention of them yet, so it will be sometime later.
    Hope this helps

  • Ivy Bridge = i7 quad core?

    Is the new chip categorized as an i7 quad core processor?
    Is there any danger to my 3 yo MBP core 2 duo(5,1) in upgrading from Leopard(10.6.8) to Lion?

    If Windows XP was installed using BootCamp, you should use the BootCamp Assistant to remove the partition.
    There are also quad core i7 processors in the current 15 and 17" MacBook Pros.  The new Ivy Bridge processors offer some minor improvements in power consumption.  Their biggest advantage is with a significant improvement in graphics processing.  However, the existing 15 & 17 MacBook Pros have dedicated GPUs that are significantly more powerful.  It's probably a benefit having the option of the lower powered HD3000 in the current machines (although, it's a nominal power difference).  Ivy Bridge will mean a lot more for machines that don't have dedicated GPUs (Airs, 13" MB Pro, and any PCs with only integrated GPUs).

  • I7 3770K Ivy Bridge Vs. i7-3930K Sandy Bridge for Lightroom and Photoshop

    Hello, I have learned so much from this forum and have a question for everyone. I am working on a custom computer build but I am not sure about the CPU. I was planning on an i7-3930K (3.2 GHz 12Mb Cache) Sandy Bridge with an ASUS P9X79 but after more research I am also considering an i7-3770K (3.5 GHz 8mb Cache) Ivy Bridge with an undetermined mobo. The 3930 has 6 cores and more cache but is a slower chip compared to the 3770K. I have read some articles that Lightroom prefers a faster chip and that the extra cores may not be of great benefit.
    We primarily use Photoshop and Lightroom for image editing and do not do any video editing. We really do more work in Lightroom than Photoshop so designing the system for it would give us the most benefit. Our primary use of photoshop is batching if that helps with our usage of the system.
    Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also feel free to tell me I am over analyzing this and either chip would work great
    Thanks in advance,
    Jonathan

    Jonathan,
    For Lightroom and Photoshop the i7-3770K will do fine. It also is much more affordable than a i7-3930K on  2011 platform, but at the same time much more limited for the future, because of the limited PCI-e lanes on the 1155 platform. The Ivy Bridge has another distinct disadvantage, the Intel supplied thermal paste is lousy, so it runs very, very hot.
    In another place, http://ppbm7.com/index.php/cooling?showall=&start=4 I said:
    Warning: If you are considering a much better affordable system, based on the Ivy Bridge processor, be warned that the cooling paste Intel uses on the Ivy Bridge is no good, especially when overclocking. At stock speed the i7-3770K runs 11 degrees hotter than with Liquid Ultra cooling paste and at 4.6GHz even 20 degrees centigrade. However if you change the cooling paste, you also void the warranty.
    To summarize: the 2011 platform has a better perspective for the future but at a price.

  • Ivy Bridge GPU and multi-display configuration

    Intel says that the new Ivy Bridge processors can cope with 3 different displays instead of 2 possible with the former generation CPUs. I know that with Mini Dock 3 Plus, the X220 can run two external monitors.
    Will an X230 (with Ivy Bridge) run 3 of them, like the ThinkPads with Nvidia Optimus technology?
    What max. resolution can they have in this scenario? 3x 1920x1200 or less?
    How to evaluate it for any screen configuration?
    Maybe I should ask Intel about that.

  • Can I replace my MBP 13" early 2011 dual core 2.3GHz intel i5 with the coming ivy bridge quad core?

    The ivy bridge processors are coming out soon (or may already be out). I have heard that macbook pro 13" models might be able to use the new processers due to their lower energy useage. I presume that I will be able to take my mac to an apple store and have it installed. Is this information true? Any ideas on a price?

    Is this information true?
    Absolutely not. The processor is soldered to the mainboard, and is not in a socket. It is not upgradeable.
    To upgrade, sell your old one and buy a new one -- just like a car when you want a bigger engine.

  • "Ivy Bridge"?

    I have seen an macbook pro (15 inch) with retina display on amazon.de with an 2.6 ghz quad core. Is it an "Ivy Bridge" processor? I haven't seen it on apple.com
    Thanks :D

    Yes

  • P67a-G55 bios for Ivy bridge

  • Dual-core Ivy Bridge and gcc -march

    Hi,
    I wanted to give the ck-kernel a try, and, as indicated in the [repo-ck] wiki page I ran
    gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target | grep march
    to see what package is best for me. It says
    -march= corei7-avx
    which is surprising, because, according to wiki, it corresponds to a Sandy Bridge processor. However my processor is an i7-3517U, which is a mobile dual-core Ivy Bridge processor.
    vendor_id : GenuineIntel
    cpu family : 6
    model : 58
    model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3517U CPU @ 1.90GHw
    Any idea of what it's going on here?

    @graysky Last week i noticed the same thing the OP did (I have a ivy i7 3770 though). However if you take a look at the [enabled] features from gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target | grep enabled

    All of the features that ivy bridge are supported are there MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AES, PCLMUL, FSGSBASE, RDRND and F16C.
    I am unsure however if there are any other optimisations which occur differently between corei7-avx and core-avx-i as i am not going to try and understand the full inner workings of gcc.
    However i did manage to patch gcc to enable core-avx-i support when asking for -march=native except that i am unsure of and repercussions of doing so https://github.com/crondog/misc-patches

  • Warning for Ivy Bridge

    Thanks, Harm and Jim, for the heads-up. The thermal problem is only going to get worse as newer CPUs come to market. We are now hitting the absolute maximum limits of current copper-interconnect technology used in all current CPUs. One of the problems is this: a combination of low power consumption and high relative performance at stock speeds usually leads to a CPU that does not handle overclocking well. Of course, we do not want to turn the clock back to the nasty days of CPUs performing molasses-slow (even when heavily overclocked) and consuming voracious (relatively speaking) amounts of power even at stock speed and at idle.

  • Bios update from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge

    hello i wish to put a core i7 3632qm in my hp pavilion g6-1262sa but upon doing so the unit will not post so i been doing a bit of digging to find out that i need a new bios to support the core i7 3632qm

    Hi,
    Your current Intel HM65 chipset motherboard supports maximum upto i7 2620M processor, listed in the manual (Page 23).
    Intel's sixth-generation mobile chipsets do not officially support Ivy Bridge processors. Ivy brigde processors need HM7X chipsets generally. In this model, Manual clearly lists the compatible processors. So I can't suggest anything else too.

  • Just ordered iMac and shipped, but it will use Ivy bridge CPU???

    I heard new CPU will be used for iMac, should I refund and order again? Or it has already installed???

    No. It will have the old processor which is an Intel Core i% or I7 also known as a Sandy Bridge.
    The Ivy Bridge has not been released you so you can't get it.
    You can return it and wait for the Ivy Bridge that is your chose.
