Mobile Ivy Bridge specs leaked.

Intel springs another leak, mobile Ivy Bridge CPUs abound -- Engadget


Just yesterday, we caught a glimpse of what Intel has in store for Ivy Bridge, and it seems those details were but a prelude to a bevy of details that leaked out today. It seems the folks over at VR Zone got their hands on some of Chipzilla's internal documents showing a host of changes for its post-Sandy Bridge mobile CPUs. Apparently, we can expect quite a few new full-power models, including a 2.9GHz Core i7-3920XM -- clocked at 200MHz faster than the Core i7-2960XM that's Intel's presiding mobile chipset champion -- along with two other quad-core Core i7s and a couple of Core i5 chips as well. For those who cherish battery life above all else, there's a dual-core Core i7-3667U clocked at 2.0 GHz and a 1.8GHz Core i5-3427U coming down the pipe. All the speedy new silicon comes with upgraded Intel HD 4000 graphics, and is slated for release in April and May of next year. If you can't wait until then for your next-gen CPU fix, head on over to the source for a heaping helping of Ivy Bridge charts and specs.

 

first reply!


I might end up selling both my m18x's when the next cpu/gpu solution comes out and ill just buy 1 m18x fully loaded!

 

I will definitely be buying it as well, just want to align the latest CPU with Kepler.

 

It's one thing to go an update the specs....they even went as far as to update the igpu.
I may decide to sell my current cpu and look to ebay for an Ivy Bridge solution.

 

I will probably skip the 3920XM as it doesn't offer anything mega interesting. Pretty much same performance per same frequencies. IGP is improved but it's not like you gonna be using it for gaming... Intel is not pushing hard anymore since there's no read need.

 

Im in a holding pattern for the M18xR2. Hopefully they release one, or even just update the current model to the Geforce 6xx/ ATI 7xxx series. I have a wedding in April, so its convenient that its a Q2 release

 

We're in kind of an interesting time with performance. We are running quad core hyperthreaded CPUs with massive memory bin's. In addition, with DX11's Direct Computer model, we can also assign certain tasks from the Direct X framework to the GPU's (including Direct_Audio and Direct_Input calls).

I think the biggest bottlenecks we have at the moment are disk I/O (although with 6g SSD its getting better) and applications running Direct X11. You would be amazed at how many developers are still using the Direct X9 library, because so many users still run XP.

 

Sorta in the same boat, I wanted to hold out for ivy bridge (since it was coming just around the corner) but I deploy in January and need (want) something better than my wife's crappy netbook. I've never been a fan of holding out for the next coming technology but sometimes if you can wait for something it's no biggie

 

Quotes like yours help keep my resale value high!
I just remembered that I finally have the perfect M18x's without and defects or cosmetic blemishes....which was VERY hard to come by(almost 1 year of exchanges/parts). I currently have enough money between coupons and funds to purchase the next refresh but will opt on waiting for an Ivy Bridge XM cpu from Shirley. It's not worth the gamble of ordering again only to receive a messed up system.

 

Same here ,I gonna stick with my 2920 for awhile. I only used my igpu once....I think.

PS : Unless m18x-R2 has something REALLY Special in Hardware.(as in look/design)

 

same here, My m18x should be able to handle most games for the next 2 - 3 years, Im gonna for sure skip the ivy bridge gen.
I got no complains with my current system, is as fast as a rocket!
my next upgrade will be in about 2 to 3 years hopefully.

My current system is maxed out as fast as it gets
