Intel releases new mobile processors

Jan 21, 2013: Yesterday we reported on eight budget desktop processors, launched on Sunday. Specifications and prices of these Celeron, Pentium and Core i3 CPUs appeared in Intel's official price list, that was updated last weekend. The price list also revealed several new mobile microprocessors. Perhaps the most interesting from new models are Ivy Bridge-based Celeron 1000M, 1020M, 1007U and 1037U. Also released yesterday are Core i5-3437U, i5-3340M, i5-3380M, i7-3540M and i7-3687U, that are speed bumps of existing Core i5 and i7 models.

Details of upcoming Core i5 and i7 mobile CPUs

Nov 23, 2012: This August VR-Zone published slides, detailing Intel mobile roadmap, that covers five quarters from Q3 2012 to Q3 2013. According to the slides, Intel is going to release 5 dual-core Ivy Bridge processors in the first quarter 2013. The new CPUs are Core i5-3340M, i5-3380M and i7-3540M for mainstream notebooks, along with Core i5-3437U and Core i7-3687U for ultrabooks. VR-Zone also provided clock speeds for mainstream Core i5s and i7s. We now have more details on all five SKUs.
