Some info on Ivy Bridge

Graphics ---- I have been using a GTX 570 and a GTX 460. How will those onboard Intel graphics compare to those boards?

Without benchmarks, it's hard to say how a 460 will compare - but a 570 will surpass the onboard.

actually if you read down into that article it goes on about Intel hanging off the IB's to clear stocks of SB's - pretty ordinary really.

Intel is so far ahead of the competition it's not funny. From a business point of view it makes perfect sense to clear as much current stock as possible.

I don't know... I will grant you the bulldozer series from AMD was a complete flop though. What good is 8 cores when they can't out benchmark a good dual core from intel.

Anandtech has tested an Ivy bridge i7:

and have more information on the Ivy Bridge

Core i7 3770K
Core i7 3770
Core i7 3770S
Core i7 3770T
Core i5 3570K
Core i5 3550
Core i5 3550S
Core i5 3570T
Core i5 3450
Core i5 3450S

A second batch of Ivy Bridge chips will follow on June 3, 2012 and include the following models:
Core i5 3470
Core i5 3470S
Core i5 3475S
Core i5 3570
Core i5 3570S

More Core i3 and Pentium models will follow in the "Holiday" period, though the slide doesn't mention which ones. In regards to chipsets, Intel will roll out the Z77, H77, Z75, and B75 for desktops and HM77, UM77, HM75, and HM75 for notebooks.
