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: While we get our fair share of evaluation products on NDA here at APH Networks, we don't usually do performance previews on the stuff we get -- either we get the review done on time, or, well, we release it at our own schedule, haha. But here's the dea...
First and foremost, although we didn't really delve into it in the review these new Ivy Bridge chips will work perfectly on existing Intel 6-series chipset motherboards. We ran a few benchmarks and there is effectively no performance difference between...
The top choice for consumer-grade CPUs. QuickSync improvements are tangible
Not a significant improvement on last generation
If you need to update today, then there's no doubt that Intel's third-generation Core products are at the top of the pile. If you're a Sandy Bridge owner, though, there's not much here that will tempt you over....
Performance, Power efficiency, Unlocked multiplier
Time to build a new rig
The 3rd generation Core CPU is a step up from the 2nd generation Core and builds on the success of its predecessor. Through new technology and a smaller manufacturing process, it provides faster performance, a marked improvement in integrated graphics spe...
Having tested multiple 3770k Ivy Bridge CPUs now, the one thing we find ourselves worried about is the overclocking side of things. While the 3770k we've got here today didn't run into the same 90c+ heat issues that were present on our other 3770k chi...
Fantastic all round performance, Much improved graphics
Graphics still not games worthy, Not a big step forward overall
A quick chip, but Ivy Bridge is proof that Intel is no longer terribly interested in the desktop PC....
