Back in April, Intel launched their latest CPU architecture along with their 22nm process: Ivy Bridge. Similar to the Sandy Bridge launch last year, the first parts to come out were all quad-core, higher performance chips. Today, Intel is fleshing out their Ivy Bridge offerings with some (but not all) of their dual-core offerings. We have details on their new mobile chips while Anand will be covering a new desktop offering with HD 2500 Graphics. Along with the mobile dual-core offerings, Intel is also launching their Ultra Low Voltage parts that are destined for Ultrabooks, and Intel sent along a prototype Ultrabook equipped with one of these new CPUs for testing.</p>

The idea behind the Ultrabook initiative isn’t particularly new; take your standard ultraportable laptop and put a few additional requirements on it and you’ve got an Ultrabook. It’s really a marketing campaign to get users more interested in spending money on higher quality, higher performance, and higher cost laptops. “Sure, you <em>could</em> get that $500 laptop, but look at how this sweet little laptop that’s less than two centimeters thick!” Even though there’s plenty of marketing behind the initiative, marketing can drive a lot of sales, and Intel has been pushing the Ultrabook hard. So here we are, six weeks after the quad-core launch with an Ivy Bridge Ultrabook in hand, and we have details on the other dual-core mobile parts as well. The Ivy Bridge party is ready to move into the second act.</p>
