Intel Confirms Ivy Bridge Core Processor Specifications
Intel confirmed specifications of what could be its entire 3rd Generation Core processor family, based on the "Ivy Bridge" silicon, slated for Q1~Q2, 2012. These include details of its desktop Core i7, Core i5 processor models, notebook Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, and their corresponding ULV variants, and so on. Specifications include model numbers, clock speeds, Turbo Boost 2.0 speeds, and basic features such as Built-in Visuals (integrated graphics), caches, HyperThreading, and fab process. These details are meant for retailers and distributors to update them on the upcoming product lineups, so they could fine-tune their inventories.Notebook lineup details follow.

Yep, Intel views Trinity as a threat :D. Can't wait to see the laptops coming out in June. Hurray for competition!
They are interesting and it sadly makes the 3820 slightly irrelevant
And a side question, for those who do not want the integrated video, isn't it just easier/cheaper to also produce chips without that? Does the integrated video cores have any impact when not being used for heat or even performance?
Ivy Bridge(socket LGA 1155) is supposed to cater to the mainstream market and its whole purpose is to provide decent graphics performance without the need for a dedicated graphics card. Intel's integrated graphics may not able able to handle graphics-intensive games comfortably, but will satisfy the needs of the average home PC user or multimedia users (like basic gaming, video editing, transcoding,etc).
If you dont want an Ivy Bridge with integrated graphics, Sandy Bridge-E(current) (or) Ivy Bridge-E are the only options. It would be interesting to know what model# Intel would give for Ivy Bridge-E, would it be i7-4XXX ? :confused:
Other recent Intel SB models with disabled IGPs are i5 - 2380P & 2450P.
This might happen with Ivy Bridge too, but not at launch or anytime soon after that.
