Intel Core i5-3427U: Ivy Bridge For Ultrabooks
Performance Summary and Conclusion
The New Thin - Ultrabooks Powered by 22nm CPUs - Intel's Ivy Bridge ULT Processor
In fact, for ultralight notebooks, we'd say it could very well be game, set and match for Intel with this design cycle. In more midrange multimedia-targeted notebooks, where graphics performance is more critical, Trinity-based machines could offer a price aggressive option in the market, though there will be a trade-off in CPU performance that will take careful marketing to convey at the retail level.
Regardless, though the landscape is quickly changing in the notebook arena, Intel appears to be ahead of the curve again, offering more power-efficient CPUs like the Core i5-3427U with leading-edge features like DX11 graphics, and video transcoding and encryption processing engines on board. When you stop to think what Intel's new Ultrabook architecture is capable of, considering its size and weight specifications, what the company has achieved is an unquestionable feat of design and manufacturing prowess that virtually no other company in the market can match currently.
