Intel’s Sandy Bridge 
technology is less than a year old, but the next big thing already appears to be on the horizon.
The company showed off prototypes for its “Ivy Bridge” processors this week at its Intel Developer Forum and the early word is encouraging – with faster speeds, lower power consumption and amazing battery life.
Intel’s introduction of its Sandy Bridge 
chip technology in January was a breakthrough for the computer industry. Suddenly, transferring HD video between devices wasn’t an arduous affair and the chip came with security protocols that were enough to impress even jaded studios – who agreed to begin offering HD versions of film online the same day they hit DVD and Blu-ray – a first for the entertainment industry.
To quote Bachman Turner Overdrive, though, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
