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.

Comparing Core i5-3210M with i5-2450M
Core i5-2450M has been a highly successful notebook processor for Intel during the 2011 and the first half of 2012. There are still a lot of notebooks that come with this processor.
The Core i5-3210M is the newer processor that brings with it, among other improvements a better Integrated Graphics. This belongs to the Intel's newest Ivy Bridge series of processors - while the Core i5-2450M belongs to the earlier Sandy Bridge processor. Let us understand the difference between them with the help of the question and answers.
Question - So which of these two processors is faster from CPU perspective.
Answer - The newer Ivy Bridge Core i5-3210M is no doubt faster. From CPU perspective you will see slight gain in perfpormance when running CPU load heavy processes.
Question - What are clock frequencies of these two processors ?
Answer - Both are clocked identically at 2.50 GHz. Both have two cores and 4 Hyperthreads.
Question - How does a faster processor affect me ?
Answer - It should not make difference in daily computing. In reality you should see no perceptible difference for processes that takes less than few seconds to complete.
Question - How about the Graphics ?
Answer - The Ivy Bridge's HD Graphics 4000 ( the name of the integrated graphics in the i5-3210M) makes a huge difference. It is 50% faster than the Sandy Bridge HD Graphics 3000 in the i5-2450M.
Question - How does improved graphics benefit me.
Answer - It will not affect you in normal tasks. But if you are opening multiple videos and switch between these windows the better graphics makes it a bit zippy. The main difference will be in fast moving games where you will find Ivy Bridge giving better frame per seconds reducing stuttering.
Core i7-3520M compared to i5-3210M
Q. Which of these two processors is faster ?
A. The quick answer is that Core i7-3520M is faster than the Core i5-3210M.
Q. OK. Is it because the Core i7-3520M is quad core ?
A. Not it is not. Both the processors are dual core. Often people confuse that Core i7 is a quad core. This is true for most of the core i7s but not the Core i7-3520M.
Q. OK. Then its should be possible to compare them by clock frequencies.
A. That is true. The Core i7-3520M is clocked at 2.9 GHz Vs 2.50 GHz of i5-3210M. If you look at it theoretically - then the i7-3520M is faster by (2.9 - 2.5) x 100% / 2.5 = 16% faster. This is substantial.
Q. I Heard that it is an Ivy Bridge processor ?
A. Yes that is correct. Both of these are Ivy Bridge processor, which is a successor of the Sandy Bridge processor. Intel made architetural improvements in the Ivy Bridge which makes its processor faster by 10% for the same clock as compared to the Sandy Bridge processor.
Ivy Bridge referefs to the architecture. There are a large number of notebook and desktop processors under Ivy Bridge.
The Ivy Bridge also comes with integrated graphics - called HD Graphics 4000 which has improved by a whopping 50% in performance as compared to the previous generation HD Graphics 3000 in the Sandy Bridge.
Q. But is not HD Graphics 4000 in both these processors ?
A. Yes that is true. Both benefit by the improved HD Graphics.
