According to Fudzilla, the first tests of the Ivy Bridge show that the Quick Sync Video can be up to four times faster than present in the Sandy Brige. Intel has launched a test under Cyberlink Media Espresso 6 to convert an MPEG-2 1080p in an MPEG-4 640x360 for digital music player. If this gain is confirmed and if it applies to all operations supported by Quick Sync, it would be a major feat for the company that took the market for graphics chips for PCs by surprise with its video engine.
For the record, it is a silicon block dedicated solely to the encoding and decoding video. It is specially designed for this, which means that its performance is superior to a GPU or CPU. It must, however, that the software supports Intel's technology (see "Quick Sync: the secret weapon of the Sandy Bridge").
Ivy Bridge will be etched into 22 nm transistors used in 3D (see "Tri-Gate: Intel invented the transistor 3D). It should be marketed in early 2012.
