Onboard video lacks DirectX 11 support
Won't replace what you can get with discrete cards. Requires new motherboard. Bundled CPU cooler discourages tinkering.
Requires new motherboards
Confusing name scheme
Requires a new Socket 1155 motherboard
Overclockability and features entirely dependent on motherboard
Cougar Point systems still limited to 24 PCIe lanes
Intel's introduction of 28 new CPUs and 10 new chipsets potentially confusing to the consumer
Chipset requirements mean you'll need a new motherboard
Integrated graphics still slow compared to cheap dedicated cards
Must have a K series processor to have full overclocking potential
Intel’s launch of Sandy Bridge definitely comes at an interesting time since it has dropped at a time when many believe the CPU and GPU markets are at a crossroads. Each brings a number of strengths and weaknesses but combined, the potential of serial ...
Abstract: It's that time of year when the new technology start running out the doors and it becomes really interesting to see what has been brewing for the last year. For Intel, it has been cooking up a new processor line for the mainstream market that has been...
Abstract: A brand-new core design enables the chips to do more at a given clock speed than their predecessors. The humble Core i3-2120 runs at a slightly slower 3.3GHz frequency than the mid-range i5-660 from Intel's older 1156 platform, but it achieved higher benc...

Abstract: This month for review we received two very eagerly awaited processors from CPU manufacturer Intel. Since AMD, its only real competitor, hasn’t been putting up a fight in this market for about five years now, interesting developments in CPUs have been f...
Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

When it was released in 2011, we called Sandy Bridge a "great range of processors" and for those who bought such a CPU at the time, that is undoubtedly true. AMD ruined its Bulldozer processors later that year, and Intel added only a few percent of perfor...
