Windows 8 is stirring up a fair deal of controversy for Microsoft. Now, Intel has come out as saying that it thinks that running the new OS on ARM hardware is going to prove difficult.
You are, no doubt, quite familiar with Intel’s CPU-release “cadence” of tick-tock by now. If not, the short story is that every tock brings a major breakthrough, while ticks are decent upgrades but nothing to Twitter home about. That’s not necessarily the case with Intel’s latest tick, the Ivy Bridge CPU. Sure, the performance enhancements on the x86 side of the aisle won’t exactly knock you on your tuchus, but they’re still decent. The upgrades to the graphics core, however, make Ivy Bridge more noteworthy.
Today is the day that the full veil comes off Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors, which will be more commonly known as the third generation of Core processors. With that comes stats and specs about what Ivy Bridge is built on and what it will be capable of. Here’s everything you need to know about Ivy Bridge.

By normal standards, the launch should mark a new “tick” in the company’s product roadmap, but Intel is going beyond just shrinking the current 32nm Sandy Bridge processor by introducing some fundamental advancements along with its new 22nm process.
