i5-3350P - Ivy Bridge without Integrated Graphics

In many cases it may be desirable not to have Integrated graphics at all. One of the reasons could be that in gaming the HD Graphics 4000 is not good any way. So why bother about it at all. You can transfer the TDP you saved by not having the integrated graphics to processor and you improve the processor performance ( or you improve its TDP rating). For gaming you get a separate graphics card. This is the whole idea with the Core i5-3350P - a processor that comes sans integrated graphics. Based upon the Ivy Bridge. Sandy Bridge has been, or rather is, an architecture very good in terms of performance and overclocking capabilities. The reasons why Ivy Bridge fails to say dominate Sandy Bridge are several, such as the famous theme of the thermal paste or overclocking capabilities. We must remember that in reality the Ivy Bridge does not provide a big jump in performance with Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge as it actually is the move from 32nm to 22nm. It will be with Haswell processors based on where we see a much bigger step than we've seen of Sandy Bridge at Ivy Bridge. Until that happens, Intel has released the Intel Core i5-3350P, a model that has integrated graphics and that is to replace the current Core i5-2380P. It is a quad-core processor with four threads of a process that operates at a speed of 3.1GHz and 3.3GHz can reach through the turbo mode. All with 6MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 69W. Also is expected to be priced similar to the processor it replaces. Basically this type of processor without integrated graphics are intended for those who have very clear that they will use a dedicated graphics. In any case, it is always good to have as an integrated graphics as an alternative, if for example the dedicated graphics is broken, so we could continue using the computer, but for that the motherboard must support processors with integrated graphics and have the appropriate video output.
