Intel Launches 16 New Sandy Bridge Processors

· by John Ponio

Over the weekend Intel launched a total of 16 new Sandy Bridge processors, as well as announced price cuts for existing Sandy Bridge processors. It looks as if Intel is hoping to compete with AMD’s Llano APUs with some of the lower-end processors, which comes to no surprise as the Llano APUs have become very popular with ultra-portable notebooks and even in some desktops. Here’s a chart taken from the original report of the new processors:
