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

It was a foregone conclusion that Ivy Bridge would be faster as compared to Sandy Bridge processors. The difference is as was expected, hovering between 10-15% depending on the application being run. The processor over-clocks just as well as previous proc...
Abstract: The much-anticipated Ivy Bridge release is finally here and we're bringing you a full review of Intel's brand new Core i7-3700K 3.5 GHz CPU along with Sandy Bridge Core i7-2600K comparisons, performance and benchmark analysis, plus overclocking info. Find...
Abstract: Ivy Bridge has been a Buzz word that has been tossed around the world, and one that has everyone in anticipation of just what the hell Intel has up their sleeves for the desktop environment, and finally the long awaited day has arrived where we can actual...
Ivy Bridge is a nice jump forward for Intel and its mainstream user group. Ivy Bridge will afford mainstream users the ability to get through heavy workloads faster using less power, allowing for cooler running systems and any IT guy will tell you that is...
In terms of performance, the new HD 4000 graphics chip is a more substantial update than the CPU portion of Ivy Bridge, delivering 50~70% higher frame rates in our gaming benchmarks. Unfortunately needs to be an order of magnitude better to really mak...
Those hoping that Ivy Bridge performance would prove to be leaps and bounds ahead of Sandy Bridge will be sorely disappointed with today’s release. That said, if you were expecting anything more than a 10–15% performance increase you skipped over the f...
Based on these early numbers, Ivy Bridge is pretty much right where we expected it on the CPU side. You're looking at a 5 - 15% increase in CPU performance over Sandy Bridge at a similar price point. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed by the gains we...
Abstract: Let's show the basic specs of all Core i7 processors released to date in a series of quick-reference tables. The Core i7 was the first Intel processor to bring an integrated memory controller, feature available on AMD processors since the Athlon 64. In...
Abstract: "Ivy is my new girlfriend," I explained to one of my female friends in the church foyer on a beautiful April Sunday morning before service. "Sandy and I had a good run. But we are over." Confused and somewhat stunned, my colleagues Preston and Jeremy j...

Is Ivy Bridge all it's cracked up to be and well worth the wait? It seems so. With measurable performance improvement in just about every benchmark, it's hard to make a case for sticking with a Second Generation Core series processor for a new build. ...
