If the machine in question has a lower thermal envelope then using the chip in the lower power state will save on super-heated chips. It has also introduced more dynamic overclocking, allowing the ratio to be changed on the fly without the need to reboot the machine.
This lends itself perfectly then to the application-based overclocking tools over the good ol' BIOS. On the memory side too things have changed, with much more granularity involved in adjusting your DRAM's frequency. Where once you had to shift the speed of your memory in MHz increments you can now move in MHz jumps.
Where the CPU component follows perfectly on the tick tock Intel development model, with the simpler die-shrink tick following the more in-depth architectural revamp tock, the GPU part is being characterised as a 'tick plus'. With the latest graphical API demands Intel has had to incorporate both Tessellation engines and Compute shaders into the mix.

Whats the difference between Ivy Bridge or Sandy Bridge? I'm building a gaming rig and would like to know.
Jan 16, 0 19, An Ivy Bridge chip will be faster than a Sandy Bridge chip running at the same speed. The difference between the i5 and the i7 is Hyper Threading. An i5 has four cores and a i7 has four cores and eight logical cores windows will see 8 cores.
Buy the newest technology i. Ivy Bridge. Chairman Ray Honorable. Jun 13, 0 11, Ivy Bridge is a generation ahead of Sandy Bridge. It has a couple extra features, but the performance is not noticeably higher for gaming. Also for gaming, you want to go with the i5. Like other CPU manufacturers, Intel is constantly redesigning their processors to be faster, more secure, and more power efficient.
In broad terms, the difference between Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge is one year of development that Intel has done to improve the processor. On a technical level, there are many differences between Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge.
The most identifiable is an upgraded graphics component. Ivy Bridge uses and updated version, aptly named HD HD is up to twice as fast as HD and this will make a big impact on games and other GPU-intensive applications. Furthermore, Sandy Bridge supports up to two displays.
Just type the CPU identifier the 2xxx or 3xxx part of the name into the search box at the top right and you can pull up a detailed list of processor info, including whether it is Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge this is noted right toward the top of the info table.
That's certainly true in the case of Ivy Bridge. As long as we were testing the Core iK and the Core iK with otherwise exactly the same hardware setup, we decided to take some power readings using an Extech Datalogger. Though the full systems idled at almost the same electricity draw about 71 watts , there was a stark difference when we maxed out all four of the processors' cores: The Core iK system needed Ivy Bridge has better graphics Sandy Bridge processors sported a redesigned video system available in two flavors: Intel HD Graphics or , with the latter being more powerful , but one that was limited in a few key ways.
We didn't see enormous frame rate leaps between HD Graphics in the Core iK and in the Core iK in our testing with currently popular 3D titles, but we definitely saw some. But the fact remains that, despite these changes, you'll still want a discrete video card if you're serious about playing 3D games like Max Payne 3 , Batman: Arkham City , or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Neither generation of Intel HD Graphics was designed to provide outstanding frame rates in those kinds of titles, particularly with maxed-out graphical details or at larger resolutions, so a standalone card from either AMD or Nvidia will enhance your experience tremendously.
Don't care at all about those types of games? Then any incarnation of Intel HD Graphics will suit you just fine.
