According to Tom’s Hardware, Intel CEO Paul Otellini confirmed during the release of the company's latest financial results that the Ivy Bridge platform has already entered large-scale production, and that it expects to deliver processors to manufacturers in the second half of this quarter. However, we will hardly see machines equipped with the new chips from Intel arriving in 2011 nothing different from roadmap initial of Chipzillatell yourself.
The new Ivy Bridge platform will bring several benefits, such as a 22-nanometer manufacturing process with 3D transistors, native support for USB 3.0, support for screens up to 4K resolution, more advanced GPU, in addition to the possibility of 13-inch Macs being equipped with chips quad-core(!).
According to the latest rumors, new MacBooks Pro may soon land in Cupertino. If this does happen, the likelihood that they will already be equipped with Ivy Bridge chips is very small.
