So meet Ivy Bridge, this is the Core i7 3570K. Familiar looking alright, processor package size wise. The processor is an Intel engineering sample showing only the codename QC46.
Ivy Bridge processors are housed on the LGA 1155 package, meaning an all too familiar CPU socket. The good news is that your processor coolers will all fit perfectly on this CPU.
The Z77 motherboard used for our tests todad is the ASUS Sabertooth TUF Z77.
