Today we take a look at Intel's i7-3770, the ultimate budget gaming CPU from 12 years ago that still packs a punch today! Despite its age, this processor offers incredible performance in modern games, making it an absolute steal at just $30. Equipped with Intel's third-generation "Ivy Bridge" architecture, the i7-3770 features advanced technologies like iPCIE 3.0, and Hyper-Threading, effectively making it an 8-core CPU. It may not be overclockable, but its base clock of 3.4GHz and single-core boost up to 3.9GHz make it a powerhouse for gaming. With impressive results in games like Cyberpunk and GTA, this CPU proves that age isn't a factor when it comes to gaming performance. Don't miss out on this incredible deal that combines affordability and top-notch gaming capabilities!

Hello everybody and today we're gonna be taking a look at an old i7 that refuses to become ewaste. Somehow this 11 year old CPU manages to pull off modern gaming in some of the most demanding titles, and for only $25 it deserves more attention. I've got the video split up into chapters, but for now weve got to find out why its not more popular and what made it so good.
The i7-3770, released back in April of 2012 was a part of intels 3rd generation ivy bridge processor. IT was once one of the fastest CPUs in the world, and although ivy bridge did bring alot to the table, it didnt change much. See intel used a tick tock model where every microarchitecture change was called a tock, and was followed by a die shrink of the process technology, known as a tick.
The previous architecture, Sandy bridge, was completely new, so the purpose of ivy bridge was to transition their chips onto a smaller process. The amazing part is that they invented an entirely new transistor: the 22nm tri gate transistor. The previous sandy bridge architrecyure used the 32 nm process with planar high K metal transistors. But when they tried shrinking it to 22 nm the chips ran into thermal and current leakage issues. Previous transistors were flat with a single gate controlling current between the source and drain. But tri gate tranbsisorts wrapped the gate around 3 sides of the silicon fin, effectively making them the first commercial 3 dimensional transistor. This increased the available surface area and made it easier to control the flow of electrons resolving these issues with leakage current and thermal output.
But this generation wasn’t called a tick, but rather a tick plus. The difference being they also modified the architecture a bit with the main improvement being to the integrated graphics. According to the Intel slideshow Laptops were actually outselling desktops and they were not gonna let AMD’s APUs take the lead.
So Intel upgraded the exiositng HD 3000 integrated graphics processor to the HD 4000 adding a few more execution, shading, and texture mapping units. They are still integrated graphics so obviously gaming performance wasnt great, but as long as they stayed competitive they werent giving OEMs a reason to switch to AMD.
They also improved hypthreading by dynamically allocating resources to a thread, Increased video encoder performance with quick sync, added official support for PCIE 3.0, allowed customization of CPU power management, added a random number generator for “security”, and increased support for overclocking. Individually, rather small changes, and asides from the new transistors Ivy bridge wasnt particularly exciting. It was simply a bridge to 22nm whose purpose was to set the stage for Haswell.
At this time AMD’s bulldozer architecure was generally more affordable, overclocked well, and had more quote unquote cores, but intel’s single core performance still took the lead. Intel was only really competing against themselves. Ultimately, Ivy Birdge was a little cheaper than its 2nd gen counterparts, but due to lack of new features and an insignificant increase in performance there wasnt necessarily a reason to upgrade.
