That Intel site's lil' PDF show's the Ivy-i5 cores/threads as 2/4......
T-thanks Intel...makes it really worthwhile upgrading to 7-series chipsets...
I don't even get where Intel is going with this. Sandy i3s were already incredible for its price and considerably efficient in terms of energy, so these new don't add anything great besides 22nm 3D-gates. Then again, maybe that's why they were launched so late, compared to i5 and i7 Ivys.
But it's debatable, given the card and the application. Processor-bound games benefit from the increase in data bit rate.
Anyway, we've made our points.
