This morning Intel released their 3rd generation Core processor, which is codenamed Ivy Bridge. This groundbreaking processor was developed right here in America at the companies facilities in Oregon and is the 22nm die shrink of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture with some performance improvements

Quote: "The one area that the 22nm Ivy Bridge processors really shine in is the graphics department. Usually we don't have too many positive things to say about Intel HD Graphics, but the new Intel HD 4000 series graphics engine shows major improvement. Intel said that mainstream gamers should be able to use Intel HD Graphics 4000 as they have up to twice the 3-D graphics performance compared to the previous-generation processor. Our testing showed that performance improved by up to 60% in game titles, which is a significant increase and nothing to laugh at."
