This year, at the Intel Developer Forum, the industry giant revealed their new Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. Sandy Bridge is a "second generation 32 nm based microprocessor with on-processor graphics," said Steve Smith, VP and Director of PC Client Operations. This "visually smart architecture," as Smith termed it, will make the job of video producers and editors much easier. According to the Intel blog, the Sandy Bridge processor is meant to focus on "the areas where most users are computing today: HD video, 3-D, mainstream gaming, multi-tasking, and online socializing and multimedia." Opher Kahn, a Senior Principal Engineer, said that the integration of graphics, cores and memory would bring a new level of performance.
