I figure I'll get us started with some leaked Benchmark slides.

^ That's 10-20% percent performance boost on top of an almost 20% power reduction :)

Full article, along with many more benchmark slides:

Initial indications point to 2-3x increase of HD4000 graphics over HD3000.

Is this a 10 to 20% boost in LL testing?

Hopefully; those numbers are fairly consistent across a variety of benchmark programs, so hopefully it means LL (FPU) improvement. I guess the only true answer is 'wait and see', but I would expect that we'll see that in LL testing. Also keep in mind that AVX, whenever George releases it, will be another ~10+% if memory serves.

Sorry...AVX? I guess I am not very up to date!

AVX: Another instruction set extension on recent Intel hardware...I believe it stands for audio-video extensions...

After reading this site I am still excited for this to come out; however, I am a little saddened by the fact that it will not apply to my computer. AVX2 looks like it will also provide a performance boost once it comes out in 2013.

Ivy Bridge looks like the perfect upgrade for you!
