If you guys do not know, ivy bridge is the new generation of CPU for Intel. Everywhere I go now...its ivy bridge this, ivy bridge that. I guess sandy bridge is to soon be forgotten. Acer has made the bump to ivy bridge in their desktop units, and now ...with the abilities of ivy bridge nvidia is hopping onto the ivy bridge bandwagon. But their idea, is to bring ivy bridge into your favorite ultrabook. But this is to make your ultrabook, just that your ULTRABOOK , your computer that does it all.
Now I say tthis because it was tested that all ultrabooks with current Gen graphics? Can only handle 43% of current high framerate games. Nvidia says the bump to GeForce is well needed to reach ultrabooks out to everyone. They also said, with the bump of the nvidia add on to current ivy bridge chips, that all ultrabooks with it can easily handle all current Gen games easily at 30fps. Now when I say current Gen I mean the battlefields, and the arkham city's...definitely games with heavy demand on a CPU, and gpu. Hereis my question though, with ultrabooks already coming with an ultra price tag? How does this addition of ths best graphics processor affect the prices? Most ultrabooks already ring up just south of 1,000$. We all understand you get what you pay for, and with nvidia being the best, don't you have to then pay for the best? Then again, I think about what nvidia did to tegra 3 and mobile technology and I say to myself maybe they can make it affordable.
In the long run, technology always gets to the point where its affordable, tweaking it, and rebuilds makes everything possible. Research and development is constantly striving to bring premium builds to everyones office, laps and even their palms. We know that technologies such as solid state drives and high power gpu will eventually make it to the point where the average joe can walk into his computer store and just walk out with a better than average processor. How long this all takes? Is up to the r&d labs. But ivy bridge so far? Is spreading like wildfire.
