A single architecture, from phones to tablets, to laptops, gaming rigs and servers. But can Intel compete with ARM?
When the Blue Team releases a successor to Ivy Bridge in the first half of next year, there will be a heck of lot going on. Haswell is both a redesign and refocus of the Ivy Bridge line.

Most critically though Haswell is a chip designed to be scalable like no chip before it has.
