Overclocking is becoming more and more a daily routine for many as the process has really become much easier nowadays with the availability of new features and tools specifically designed for doing the activity. But overclocking has always been seen as a warranty voiding act that many manufacturers are discouraging as it can potentially shorten the life of components as well as totally fry them if done so extensively.

Intel has now been reported to be preparing a total of three new Sandy Bridge CPUs that lack the integrated graphics that has been a feature of all its modern CPUs. The three reported CPUs are the Core i5-2550K, Core i5-2380P and Core i5-2450P.

In early Q2 of 2012, Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPUs that are a die shrink of the current Sandy Bridge CPUs will launch and apparently, although the new chips will bring up to 20 percent lower TDPs and faster clock speeds, they will be priced quite similarly to their predecessors at the time of launch.

If you’re wondering if waiting for Ivy Bridge to come out rather than investing your hard earned on a Sandy Bridge platform right now would be worth it, then you might be very interested to know that the first benchmark for Ivy Bridge has now been published and judging by the numbers, there seems to be some performance boosts compared to current Sandy Bridge CPUs.
