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
Abstract: Time passes though and it is time for another 'tick' in that tick-tock' model from Intel. We've been hearing about it for a while now, you guys and girls have learned to know it as the Ivy Bridge series of processors. Let me put it very simply, you...
The new Core i7-3770K is a no-brainer if you were considering buying the Core i7-2600K; it costs the same and is faster.It is, however, very important to understand that this processor is targeted to users who will really benefit from additional proces...
After spending some time with Ivy Bridge we quickly discovered that Intel has raised the bar across the board for performance. Not bad considering that Ivy Bridge does not feature a brand-new microarchitecture and is basically a die shrink of Sandy Br...
After having benchmarked the 3770K and compared it against its brothers and sisters from the Sandy Bridge family of processors it is fair to say that Ivy Bridge is without a doubt faster and that Ivy Bridge-E will once again take that performance level...
Ivy Bridge is a mixed bag for overclockers. It is a more efficient process than Sandy Bridge, gaining anywhere from two to seven percent across the benchmark tests. If you manipulate videos with programs that can use QuickSync there is no question, Ivy ...

I told you up front that the story on Ivy Bridge was relatively straightforward. Now that we've conducted enough analysis to bring down a healthy adult bison in its prime, let's boil things down to a simple scatter plot showing price versus overall perfo...
Intel's 22-nm process allows Ivy Bridge to consume much less power than its predecessor when running at the same speed. The 3D transistors purportedly offer better performance at low voltages, which is great for mobile applications but perhaps not ideal ...
At the point we are in the CPU wars Intel could very well just sit back and take a break. However we are not seeing this as they have really done some work on the Core i7 3770K. The new instruction set which combines some improved and new instructions alo...
Significantly enhanced on-chip 3D-graphics performance, Highly overclockable, Compatible with many previous-generation motherboards, Reduced power usage
CPU performance only slightly boosted over previous-generation Core i7 chips
The raw CPU performance is only slightly better than its immediate predecessor's, but the Core i7-3770K is the first Intel processor we've tested with built-in graphics powerful enough to run the latest games, albeit at reduced detail settings. Read More...

Abstract: Chin up CPU fans, Intel has launched its latest batch of processors out into the world today. On this fine anniversary of Shakespeare's birthday an infinite number of monkeys has been hard at work producing a replacement for the entire Core i7 and Core i5...
