To be fair, Intel has gotten by with lackluster GPU performance from their integrated chipsets for years. The new chips are set to provide 20-50% better GPU performance over Sandy Bridge, the kind of jump we'd normally expect from a tock release.
Ivy Bridge is a 'tick' release, but Intel is calling it a tick+ due to the more significant overhaul the graphics side of things is getting.
Today the company is unveiling its full new line of Core i7 and Core i5 processors, accompanying chipsets and Centrino wireless options. Although Intel is only anticipating a 10-15% processing performance bump when compared to Sandy Bridge, the big news comes in the form of improved graphics and efficiency, thanks to the move to a 22nm design process using new 3D transistor technology we recently explained in detail here. Since late last year Ivy Bridge seems to be the architecture everyone is waiting for.
