Ivy Bridge is just a die shrink of Sandy Bridge which means the CPU should produce less heat and use less voltage at similar clocks. As for being cheaper, I don't know why they would be cheaper than Sandy Bridge as they're the upgrade from Sandy Bridge. The only thing really being upgraded in Ivy Bridge chips is the on-die GPU.
