Intel keeps delivering the best desktop processor money can buy. Great efficiency and features. Overclocking is well supported on the 'K' processor. Backward platform compatibility is a big win for
Performance
Overclocking
Power consumption
Good performance for the price. Highly energy efficient. Supports DirectX 11. Backward compatible with previous-generation motherboards.
Compatible with many previous-generation motherboards
Reduced power usage
GPU performance greatly improved compared to last generation
Support for DirectX 11
Driver maturity improved
22 nm production process
Turbo Boost to dynamically adjust graphics clocks
Completely noiseless
HDMI Audio bitstreaming supported
DisplayPo
Lower power than Sandy Bridge
Although this isn't significant for desktop platforms
Faster and cheaper (if not by much) than Sandy Bridge CPUs
Intel HD4000 iGPU significantly faster than HD3000
Can be used in Z68series motherboards (with vendor BIOS support)
Still the best performance in a mainstream consumer CPU
High performance
Includes HyperThreading technology
High overclocking potential
Good price based on performance
Low power consumption under both idle and load

Integrated graphics handle well most tasks but are not fit for gaming
Perform behind AMD's A8 APUs
Offers only minor performance improvements on highest-end last-generation CPU. Graphics still not comparable to what you get with a discrete video card
Cheap Discrete GPUs Still Faster
CPU Not Much Faster Than 2700K
CPU performance only slightly boosted over previous-generation Core i7 chips
Limited GPU performance
No dedicated GPU memory
Still only 16 PCIE lanes
Early production stepping doesn't overclock as well as current Sandy Bridge
Our measurements show that under heavy load, the maximum power of Ivy Bridge processors is up to 40% lower compared with Sandy Bridge. Reducing the load reduces the difference between the platforms down to the minimum of 8% in the idle mode. At that, ...
Abstract: Today we're going to compare the perfomance of the three Intel Core architechtures—Nehalem, Sandy Bridge, and Ivy Bridge—in as equal conditions as possible. Testbeds For tests, we shall have only Intel Core i7 processors, since the 1st Gen Core i5 had ...
When Intel launched Sandy Bridge in January 2011, it received a very favourable welcome but what was a ‘Tock’, which is to say a new architecture, was in fact also a sort of ‘Tick’, ie a new engraving process. The 32nm engraving launched a year earlier...

Abstract: As you may know, a while back, we came to some difficult realizations about the validity of our methods for testing PC gaming performance. In my article Inside the second: A new look at game benchmarking, we explained why the widely used frames-per-second...

I think that the Intel Core i7-3770 has a lot of merit. First off, it is less expensive than the K variant and I do think that it offers enough performance for the vast majority of users. $35 these days is enough to upgrade from a 64GB to 128GB SSD or to ...
Abstract: Quadcore Ivy Bridge processors have gained much popularity, so it's high time we took a good look at those lineups. All the more, entry-level models spark buyer's interest for two reasons. First, they are cheaper, allowing you to save as much as 35-50 ...
We do CPU-reviews quite rarely, which makes them that more interesting. It's nice to every now and then check what sort of performance and features the latest platforms pack, and this time it was time to check out what's new on Intel's lineup. While t...

Overall, Intel's Ivy Bridge is going to be a winner. Intel commands the segment the Core i7-3770K is in and adding more features, lower power consumption all while lowering prices is really something AMD is going to struggle with. Launching with the Z77 c...
Intel’s delay of Ivy Bridge did stir some debate but it made business sense seeing Sandy Bridge rules the roost over their rival AMD’s Bulldozer platform. Most of the time we tend to look at new introductions with hype and look forward to major perform...

Intel's new Ivy Bridge processors deliver significantly improved graphics performance when compared to the previous generation Sandy Bridge processors. Since Sandy Bridge has no support for DirectX 11, we could not include it in the benchmarks for this...
