According to Intel, Ivy Bridge processors outperform its predecessor, Sandy Bridge, with a 5%~15% increase in CPU performance and 25%~68% increase in integrated GPU performance. Ivy Bridge processors use 3-D Tri-Gate transistor technology which consumes up to 50% less power than 2-D transistors at the same performance level. Existing customers who wish to upgrade to Ivy Bridge may require a BIOS update, but will definitely see an increase in performance and a reduction in power consumption.
