Intel released Sandy Bridge in January 2011 as the major successor to [[Nehalem]]. Core i7, i5 and i3 variants were released simultaneously. Sandy Bridge can support an on-die integrated graphics processor. All Sandy Bridge processors to date use the new LGA 1155 socket ("Socket H2"), the successor to LGA 1156 ("Socket H"). The P67, H67, and ~~H61~~ chipsets have been released to support Sandy Bridge, and are compatible with all current variants. It exhibits the ring-based bus designed for [[Larrabee]] (introduced on [[Nehalem|Nehalem EX]]) and supports [[AVX]] instructions. Sandy Bridge processors (and their on-die IGP) are based on a 32nm process.
