Intel is releasing an upgrade card system for three Sandy Bridge CPUs which have higher capabilities than that they are actually sold with. The i3 2102, i3 2312M and Pentium G622 will all have upgrade cards available which add improved performance, the gains differ between the CPUs, lets look at what each one does for each CPU:
These cards are only based on well publicised speculation currently, the source of the current performance estimates is AnandTech but the speculation has been around for nearly a year now so we expect there is some integrity behind it. Early thoughts suggest the upgrade card will be a flat $50 cost for all three CPUs which seems a bit steep for the Pentium G622 since it costs only $65 initially. However, it has been pointed out for those with OEM built systems where upgrades void warranties these cards will prove a useful option.
