    Hellooo,

    Can some one explain to me please what this 2nd generation and 3rd generation means...? What are there bus speeds of these processors which all these salesmen are talking about...?

    Dan thinna latest mother boards and processor bus speeds monwada thiyenne?
    Mamma anthimat giye UP 800Mhz bus speed mother boards ganna mage Dual Core 1.x G processors ekat..!

    My advance thanks to any1 who can reply to this thread.

    As a manufacturer, Intel has committed to switching things up every generation of its cpu chips. They alternate between an architecture change and a die shrink with each other generation.

    The 2nd generation of Core i-series processors was dubbed "Sandy Bridge" and was an architecture change from the previous CPUs.

    The 3rd generation is called "Ivy Bridge," and is basically a copy of Sandy Bridge manufactured on a smaller scale, or die. However, Intel also focused on beefing up the integrated graphics in this generation.

    Basically, 3rd generation "Ivy Bridge" CPUs have a small (5-10%) performance advantage over 2nd generation Sandy Bridge chips, however they also produce higher temperatures when overclocked which means it is harder to push them further in speed. Basically they even out when compared to Sandy Bridge's performance+overclocking.

    However, the Ivy Bridge CPUs also use less power and have a more powerful graphics chip built in.

    You can check out the Ivy Bridge reviews right here on Tom's Hardware and other tech sites to get more detailed comparisons between the two generations.



    I got this from an Internet Question and Answer page
