Sandy Bridge Laptop

Sandy Bridge Laptop Details
With the market for desktop PCs shrinking every year, more and more people are abandoning their PCs in favour of laptops. It's easy to see why: with Intel's Core architecture cramming desktop levels of power into affordable portables, even a budget laptop is often all anyone will ever need. Now, with the advent of Intel's latest microarchitecture, Sandy Bridge, its mobile Core processors promise to soar yet further into the performance stratosphere.Sandy Bridge is set to take pride of place in everything from affordable budget notebooks to premium mobile workstations, and Intel's gone back to the drawing board for the 15-strong range of Core-i3, i5 and i7 processors.

Sandy Bridge Laptop Details
It happens every year, almost like clockwork—literal and figurative: Intel implements one or the other part of its tick-tock development strategy, which guarantees processor innovation is an ongoing, rather than an intermittent, process. But whether any given year is the tick (a reduction in the production process) or the tock (a new microarchitecture), it can occasionally be difficult to know exactly what's changed, or what impact it will have on you. So if you've been wondering about the differences between Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge, respectively Intel's second- and third-generation Core processor technologies, here's a list of the most important differences—and similarities—between the two.1. Sandy Bridge is last year's news. Intel introduced its Sandy Bridge desktop and laptop processors at the start of 2011, just in time to coincide with the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Ivy Bridge, due to a number of delays, arrived in April of 2012, and essentially replaced Sandy Bridge in the market. This doesn't mean you won't still find Sandy Bridge processors, or systems using them, for sale in some places, but they're more or less in their end-of-life cycle now, with the newer technologies and benefits of Ivy Bridge having replaced them.
