7. Compatible with Sandy Bridge. Intel has, not entirely unjustifiably, earned a reputation of forcing people to upgrade their motherboards to run almost every new processor line on the market. But that's not the case with Ivy Bridge CPUs: Because they also use the LGA1155 socket, you can put one in a Sandy Bridge motherboard and still have it work - all you'll need to do is update your firmware, BIOS, and video drivers. Only four motherboards using the 6 Series chipsets support Ivy Bridge (H61, H67, P67, and Z68), but if your computer already uses one of those you already have everything you need.
