IDF 2011: Intel's Ivy Bridge In this engaging interview from the 2011 Intel Developer Forum, tech host Dave Graveline sits down with Dan Snyder from Intel to discuss the revolutionary Ivy Bridge processor. This chat reveals pivotal insights about Intel's advancements in chip technology and what it means for consumers.

Overview of the Interview​

The discussion opens with a focus on Intel's strategic philosophy: "Think big, make small." Snyder unpacks how this philosophy translates into real-world applications, especially with Ivy Bridge’s architecture. He highlights significant features of their upcoming processors, including a remarkable reduction in power consumption.

Key Features of Ivy Bridge​

1. Improved Power Efficiency: Ivy Bridge boasts a 20x reduction in standby power, enabling devices to remain in connected standby for up to 10 days without losing functionality. This kind of efficiency addresses modern demands for devices that can last longer on less energy.
2. Advanced Technology: Built on a 22-nanometer process technology, Ivy Bridge allows for more transistors on the chip, which enhances performance while minimizing power requirements. This aligns with Moore's Law, which predicts an increase in transistor density over time.
3. Compatibility with Windows 8: Snyder discusses the collaboration between Intel and Microsoft, underscoring that Ivy Bridge is designed to optimize performance with Windows 8. Notably, they’ve engineered the system to respond quickly to touch inputs, a significant shift from the traditional mouse-driven interaction.

   Future Prospects​

   Snyder also teases upcoming developments in Intel's processor lineup, including Haswell, slated to debut in 2013, which will feature even greater power savings and performance improvements.
