News
Apr 29, 2012: Last Monday Intel announced Ivy Bridge microprocessors, and
disclosed initial lineup for desktop and mobile markets. The same day
the announcement was followed by numerous reviews and benchmarks,
published by hardware news site. Today is another big day: the
processors are now officially released, and they are hitting retail.
Also today, Intel added new SKUs to official pricelist.
Apr 23, 2012: Today Intel announced Ivy Bridge (IVB) microarchitecture, as well as 15
quad-core microprocessors, and 5 wireless chipset options. Initial IVB
line-up includes six mobile processors, four desktop Core i7 CPUs with
Hyper-Threading, and five Core 5 desktop models without
Hyper-Threading. All processors will be available in OEM systems and in
retail later this month. Some processor benchmark results are already
available on Intel website, and earlier today many hardware news sites posted their
own reviews with detailed benchmarks.
Mar 27, 2012: Ivy Bridge launch was delayed twice. First time it slipped from the
first to the second quarter 2012, and then it was delayed by another
two weeks. Current launch date for desktop Ivy Bridge CPUs is set on
April 29, which was confirmed by two different sources,
Sweclockers
and Donanimhaber. That still left us in the dark in regards to mobile
processors, due to rumors that their launch was pushed back until June.
After seeing recent desktop and mobile roadmaps we can confirm that
both desktop and mobile IB chips will be released at the same time.
Dec 28, 2011: There has been a lot of talk recently about Intel reducing prices of Sandy Bridge CPUs in the run-up to the launch of Ivy Bridge. Digitimes today (December 28 ) published details including pricing and release dates for various Ivy Bridge processors and chipsets. Initial SKUs will be released on or around April 8 2012, with a few more parts following over the following few weeks.
Dec 06, 2011: The launch of Ivy Bridge micro-architecture is still a quarter
away, but we already have plenty of information on upcoming desktop
microprocessors, thanks to a series of leaks of Intel roadmap slides.
Not only desktop roadmap has been leaked.
VR-Zone
published yesterday a few slides, containing release
schedule and specifications of Ivy Bridge mobile microprocessors.
According to published slides, Intel will launch 3 quad-core CPUs in
April, followed by 3 dual-core mainstream models and two ULV
processors in May.

Will old PGA boards support an upgrade?
Such as going from a 45w 2630qm to this
Will Old PGA boards
That is dissapointing
nice speeds I must say. Haswell will be even better :) I am already very happy with my i7-2630qm.
People that want to upgrade will need buy a new laptop, bad for us customers, good for the manufactures
