Recently, I got my hands on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430s, which features the latest Ivy Bridge processor, a Core i5-3320M.
I am impressed by the performance that this little chip can pump out. I've only tried one game (Battlefield 3) on it, but on a hectic game of 24 vs. 24 on Caspian Border at 1280x720 on the lowest possible settings, I'm getting 25-35FPS. This is even better than what many low-end discrete cards of last generation can do. Can't wait to see what Haswell integrated graphics are capable of. The menus are a little glitchy, but I can forgive a few driver foibles.
When I get a tripod from Amazon in a few days, I'll shoot a video of it in action. This is far more impressive than Sandy Bridge, which was all but unplayable for Battlefield 3.
