I really hope that the variables in the early testing mean that we are not being shown what ivy bridge can really do, it would have been nice to see a dual threaded dual core from ivy beat a single threaded quad core from sandy but i guess this just shows once more that cores are better than threads.
apart from the usual layers used in current lithography there are no real "layers", its still pretty much a printed circuit on a flat sheet of silicone, from what i have read it really is that the ink is thicker an there is more gate material.
That is exactly why i dislike this 3d transistor naming as most people instantly think 3d means chips like in the picture you posted yet intel's 3d transistor make people think 3d chip an really its still very close to normal chips and techniques although an improvement of course.
I'm not saying i dislike anything about the new transistor or anything like that i just dislike how it was named and the idea it gives so many people an that idea is the kind of 3d chip that can be made in a cube or other 3d shape not just a pcb printed on a flat sheet of silicone.
Yes, I'm sure the layers will be limited to probably 3-5. Still very thin and surely not cubelike cube-like. But I bet, depending on how it's done, it may look quite odd.

The true 3D stacked chips from IBM will be more cube-like. The problem is the cooling, since the density will go up tremendously. The current intel's "3D" is more like a flat fabric with wrinkles.
