On our test bench today we have an evolution of the Core architecture in the form of Intels “Sandy Bridge” components. These Include the P67 and H67 chipsets and two CPUs, one from the i5 range and the other from the i7.
Looking first to the build quality and design of the new generation of Core processors we have a set of CPUs which have the usual high level of quality we have come to expect from Intel. It is very hard to damage a Core CPU when installing due to the...

The Core i5 2000 range was launched in January 2011 and is composed exclusively of quad-core processors with a Turbo mode, which boosts the clock speed from between 100 to 400 MHz depending on how many cores are used. Based on the Sandy Bridge architec...

Those looking to upgrade in Q1 should look no further if they are on a budget as Sandy Bridge within the i5 realm certainly offers outstanding performance. The 2500K is there for the taking, and will appeal to enthusiasts on a budget. Combine it with a mainstream motherboard and you are the envy of your...

This new chip from Intel might share the name i5 with models released over the last two years, but like the new i7-2600k (see our review here) it's based on an entirely new chip design. Known by the codename Sandy Bridge these new chips have been antic...

Well folks, we might be a little late to the party, but we can’t have the CPU section of this site looking as light as it does, so it’s time to add another to that small collective. Today I’m goning to be running the gamer’s best friend, the Sandybr...
Interestingly while the 2500k walked all over the aging 760 in our synthetic tests, it didn’t faire quite so well in the gaming ones. Probably some naff titles to choose as evidently they arn’t CPU bottlenecked. Still, this is an impressive chip with...

With Intel still adhering to their tick / tock release strategy, it was only a matter of time until a new architecture was introduced and it’s name is Sandy Bridge. Today marks the launch of no less than eight new desktop processors based on a highly...
Intel’s launch of Sandy Bridge definitely comes at an interesting time since it has dropped at a time when many believe the CPU and GPU markets are at a crossroads. Each brings a number of strengths and weaknesses but combined, the potential of serial...

A brand-new core design enables the chips to do more at a given clock speed than their predecessors. The humble Core i3-2120 runs at a slightly slower 3.3GHz frequency than the mid-range i5-660 from Intel's older 1156 platform, but it achieved higher benc...
