Intel has reduced idle consumption 20 times with respect to Sandy Bridge and GPU performance over Ivy Bridge has doubled, and that in the Unigine benchmark consumes half with better performance.
The 4th generation family of Intel Core 22nm systems Ultrabook and other PC in 2013, with use of Tri-Gate transistors, like Ivy bridge. Also will offer support graphics with Intel HD, new instructions for better performance and faster encryption, new benefits hardware-based security substates and low-power processor to enable longer battery life.
The three-dimensional Tri-Gate transistors Intel based chips enable them to operate at lower voltage with lower electrical losses, which, when compared with the most advanced transistors previous generation, offering a combination of performance and unprecedented energy efficiency. These capabilities provide chip designers the flexibility to choose transistors targeted designs to lower power consumption or to achieve maximum performance, depending on the purpose of the chip.
Besides these transistors provide a performance increase up to 37% at low voltages compared to 32nm transistors that Intel currently produces. This increased performance facilitates its use in small mobile devices because they use less energy to switch between their states. Moreover, for equal performance, these new transistors consume less power than half the transistors used in the two-dimensional chips 32 nm.
Finally, a demo graphic demostration:
