Intel Confirms Ivy Bridge Core Processor Specifications

Last reports all said MOBILE processors are delayed. Im not sure why this is getting constantly messed up. But its across forums too. :(

MOBILE.

Thats a very valid question!.. Considering that Intel wants to target mainstream users they should be giving HD 4000 across all models... But disappointingly its not the case and I have so far seen only one i3 model (i3-3225) which will have HD4000 and most i5's will have HD2500.

Well they must have done some kind of market analysis to determine what kind of graphics to include with each model based on where they sell the majority of chips in each processor segment and sub-segment; in other words, what kind of usage the chips will get.
 
Wasn't there something about June 3rd?
 
It's curious how they consider Sandy Bridge-E in the same generation as the Ivy Bridge, both are marketed as "Intel 3rd generation". Shouldn't Ivy be gen 4 or Sandy-E gen 2.5?

I think i got confused somewhere along the tiks and toks :)

I mean, i know Ivy is a dye shrink of Sandy, but i can't remember what is Sandy-E for Sandy and what Sandy is for the "core 1st" gen... :confused: :ohwell:
 
I am guessing for the i5 35XXK to be 10% faster than the existing 2700K. Correct me if I am wrong here. :)
 
It's the power consumption and OCability that has me intrigued

Yea, June-ish for all of it. Sweclockers is wrong.

Source?

This will end with me buying a sandy bridge after all... yes I am impatient :)

Sandy Bridge is Tick, Ivy Bridge is Tock.
They're both the same generation; Tock is a refinement (die shrink + minor improvement), Tick is a new design.
3D transistors and 22nm is the refinement on Sandy Bridge.
 
but wait, SB is 2XXX but SB-E and Ivy is 3XXX so is Ivy-E going to be 4XXX?

My bad. After doing some rereading this appears to be correct.

For the numbering pattern to continue, yes.
