Intel Expected to Bring Ivy Bridge Launch Forward to April 23
By
Intel’s original launch date for its line of Ivy Bridge processors was April 29. However, it’s now moved that forward by almost a week, to April 23. This appears to be in response to OEM’s such as Asus, Lenovo and HP’s eagerness to launch their new second-generation ultrabooks in May. Of course, this will be good news for enthusiasts too, who are waiting impatiently to build their rigs around this new processor.
To promote ultrabooks, Intel has set up a fund of US$300 million to assist its partners for ultrabook design and R&D. The company is also integrating the upstream supply ecosystem to allow its partners to connect with each other.
