Ready for round three! After a slight delay, Intel releases the next generation of the extremely successful Sandy Bridge architecture on the market. A revolutionary 22-nanometer manufacturing and a greatly improved graphics unit are to make up for the delay of the third generation Core architecture.

thanks very helpful article
Great Article! It's difficult to find objective analysis of mobile hardware, but you pulled it off admirably.
I am disappointed in the power consumption readings. I hope it is fixed in retail versions.
This is an off-the-wall theory, but the 1200 MHz idle might indicate that Ivy Bridge doesn't operate at lower voltages than Sandy Bridge, possibly helping cross-platform compatibility. Operating at the same voltages, and the significant increase in transistors would likely kill any power savings from the smaller transistor sizes and FinFET design. I hope I'm wrong though, and systems change the voltage schemes based on Chip ID. I also hope that Ivy Bridge can support lower voltages. The saturation voltage of a 22nm transistor can't be very high.
Can't wait for more Ivy-Bridge gaming laptops :D
in this case..can i upgrade intel ivy bridge core i7-3610QM to ivy bridge core i7-3820QM or ivy bridge core i7-3920XM on laptop?..give me the helpful answer..
your article are too intel-sided..your words are so-intel fanboy
this site is not neutral
Well the Ivy Bridge CPUs are really good high end offerings, but take a look at our Trinity review, we also found a lot to like about the new APU from AMD.

which processor i3 3rd or i5 3rd genration is good with notebook of HP and DELL
Sigh. I guess there will always be haters like Johny. I have always appreciated the in-depth analysis you provide... on all chipsets, be they Intel or otherwise. Keep up the good work! 8)
