Some new Intel Ivybridge details

Some more details are being released. IB is defo more than just a simple die shrink

The last tidbit we have is that Quick Sync performance is apparently much improved. Intel is privately claiming up to 2x better performance than Sandy Bridge in accelerated video transcoding or lesser gains but improved image quality.

I can't wait for IB. SB is already amazing but I think IB is defo the build I'm going for.

I thought Intel claimed IPC to be improved up to 20% in some cases and that this was not the normal tick - tock change?

They did, and went on record with that. People just come out with nonsense on forums which is why I always post links to released information rather than speculation
