Intel plans new Ivy Bridge Pentium processors

The upcoming arrival of the LGA1150 platform and the first batch of high-end Haswell processors will soon prompt Intel to strengthen its budget and mid-range product list before the coming of budget-oriented Haswell chips. Thus the company will soon launch four new Pentium models on the Ivy Bridge architecture.

The four chips are as follows: Pentium G2030 (dual-core, 3.0 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, an integrated GPU at 650/1050 MHz, support for DDR3-1333 memory and TDP of 55 watts), Pentium G2030T (dual-core, 2.6 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, an integrated GPU at 650/1050 MHz, support for DDR3-1333 memory, TDP of 35 watts), Pentium G2120T (dual-core, 2.7 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, an integrated GPU at 650/1050 MHz, support for DDR3-1600 memory, TDP of 35 watts) and Pentium G2140 (dual-core, 3.3 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, an integrated GPU at 650/1050 MHz, support for DDR3-1600 memory and TDP of 55 watts).

All new chips are built on the Ivy Bridge 22 nm technology and come with an integrated dual-channeled memory controller, support for VT technology and 64-bit extensions. Still, they do not support Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology.

Pricing is unknown.
