What's so great about Ivy bridge specs? I'm underwhelmed because electrical economy failed to materialize.

The new intel graphics are much better for gaming without going to discrete graphics.

Yes, that's for sure. It's just unclear if I need any of those improvements except for games (which I'd happily sacrifice on my laptop).

besides gaming applications, how do the previous generation of sandy bridges stand up? (i5 2.4ghz) I heard from minimal to significant.

EDIT: found a nice resource for the specific models http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/474/Intel_Core_i5_Mobile_i5...
