NOW AVAILABLE: ENVY 15-32XX Intel Ivy Bridge (AMD 7750M)

[Kevin]

What's the best guess as to the release date for the updated 28nm envy 15?

Late April/Early May is a good estimate, because that is when everyone else will be releasing theirs. I can't see a large volume company like HP getting caught late to that party,

The current "new" Envy was pretty much a prototype, if you look at it a certain way.

Just like how the Envy 10xx was the guinea pig...

How fast this revision arrives likely depends on AMD's release for the mobile GCN chips I guess.

Looks like Intel is playing the Montenvina game again.

Intel to postpone mass shipments of Ivy Bridge processors

Interesting article

Because most first-tier notebook vendors are having trouble digesting their Sandy Bridge notebook inventories due to the weak global economy, while Intel is also troubled by its Sandy Bridge processor inventory, the CPU giant plans to delay mass shipments of the new processors to minimize the impact, the sources noted.

However, Intel's decision to slow down its Ivy Bridge processor launch will benefit USB 3.0 chipmakers such as Renesas, ASMedia and Etron allowing them to earn an extra quarter of sales, according to sources from the chipmakers. The sources pointed out that the share of third-party USB 3.0 chipmakers in the notebook market was originally expected to drop to only around 20% in 2012, but with Intel's delay, their share is expected to climb back to 50%.

I don't get this part - the Ivy Bridge processors will not use USB 3.0? Or are they saying that Sandy Bridge CPUs are using third party USB 3.0 chips and Ivy Bridge will not?

Ivy Bridge chipsets have integrated USB3.0, so add-on USB3.0 chip makers cannot sell as large volume of their chips when IB launches.

If that's the case, are they going to have a disco party in London upcoming March

and as you have read, they all say DigiTimes is unreliable and it's rumored

That rumor is making the rounds pretty quick though. Seeing it spread on most major tech sites.

I'll wait until its official before mass hysteria overtakes the site.

Either way its gonna be here eventually and I for one can't wait.

Too Late..

Not delayed, at least for QC IB.
