Intel's new ivy bridge chips are expected monday, promising significant improvements in speed and power usage plus built-in usb 3.0 support all wrapped in a smaller package compared to intel's current sandy bridge chips.
The first wave of ivy bridge chips will reportedly include 13 quad-core processors designed primarily for desktops. Dual-core processors meant for ultrabooks, such as intel's cove point concept device, and other hardware will roll out "later this spring," according to a bbc report.
