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.

NHKSThats 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.

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:

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

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

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.
