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: That is the question, Intel's Core2Duo was very popular back in the days and still is. Furthermore according to Steam's survey half of steam gamers are still using a machine powered by a dual core processor. Fair enough, let's see how the Core2Duo E8400 c...
Abstract: For this week's battle we present the AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 versus the Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7 3770K. Which are both the top high end processors from our two lovely chip makers. This battle will take place under heavy 3D workloads conditions such as Benc...
Abstract: Let's have a good old school AMD vs Intel test featuring the performance in games. What we do is we take an AMD FX-4170 and test it against a Core i7-3770K with the most recent games at FullHD and max details as well as max Anti Aliasing. So let's see if ...
Abstract: Intel's latest range of processors, code-named Ivy Bridge, uses a new 22nm fabrication process compared to the 32nm process used by the previous Sandy Bridge chips.The drop in the fabrication process allows Intel to pack an increasing number of compone...
Abstract: We recently took our first look at Intel's Ivy Bridge architecture. Then, we evaluated its efficiency. Now, we turn to overclocking. Recently, each of Intel's die shrinks has helped increase frequency headroom. This time, however, we ran into some wall...
The Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770K doesn't make a giant leap ahead of the previous generation of Core i7 chippery. It’s more of gentle step forward. But the die shrink down to 22nm does make for a far more power efficient chip than the previous generation ...
Performances in applications and games, HyperThreading, Turbo mode, Low power use, Much faster onboard graphics
Graphics processing is faster but still isn't good enough to replace a standalone graphics card—even an entrylevel card!
Intel has confirmed its status as leader in the market for desktop computer CPUs with a new generation of processors that are faster and less power-hungry than their predecessors. Although the gain in performance isn't enormous, it's certainly still be...
Abstract: In this article we're going to check gaming performance of Intels high-end LGA 1155 Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge CPUs when they're being supported by a Radeon HD 7970 graphics card from XFX. We're curious if there will be a measurable performance gap betwe...

If you already own a Sandy Bridge PC then it makes little sense to upgrade your existing processor but if you're buying or a building a new PC we have no doubt that Ivy Bridge is the only game in town. Pros: Superb power efficiency, excellent performance...
