Intel Core i5-3427U Pro Reviews

techreport.com‘s review Edit

So, there you have it. In its ultrabook-friendly incarnation, Ivy Bridge gives you higher performance and longer battery run times for less money than Sandy Bridge. Not exactly a tough sell, is it? That said, I'm a little disappointed Intel didn't give the 17W Ivy Bridge variant a little more graphics oomph. The quad-core model's higher IGP clock speeds seem to do wonders in the games we tested, but alas, the dual-core Ivy is quite a bit slower across the board—and that means games generally aren't playable at the same settings. It's a shame, really, and it rules out Ivy Bridge ultrabooks as compelling systems for on-the-road gamers—unless manfuacturers sneak in some discrete GPUs.

The reasons for buying a Ivy Bridge low-voltage powered ultrabook over a more traditional ultraportable or multimedia laptop are few. Ivy Bridge is great and the platform benefits from its improved performance. But the platform itself constrains the possiblities of Ivy Bridge and reduces the quality of the user's experience.
