How many think this or a the Ivy Bridge i3-3225 with the HD4000 graphics?
The i3-3225 is exorbitantly priced at around $145. Basically, a bunch of expenditure for Intels CPU prowess, while just adequate graphics even if paying a premium for HD4000. If youre going for home-use and/or video-media then Intel brings nothing much to the party. If you want to do some mild gaming on the Intel HD4000 isnt any great option, while passable on Trinity. Although if youre more about gaming I dont believe on-chip solutions like either are the way to go, move to CPU only with discrete graphics.
