Whilst perhaps not quite as exciting for the high-end market, dual-core Ivy Bridge processors will have a significant roll to play in the low-power, low-price and Ultrabook/Notebook markets and so it's about time that Intel officially unveiled its line-up.

So if I'm reading this correctly we have i7 and i5 that are dual core (with hyperthreading). I thought i5/i7 use to guaranty a quad core - Am I wrong in this or has this changed with ivy bridge?
Mobile i5 and i7 have been dual core certainly since Sandy Bridge, and the desktop i5 6xx series (Clarkdale, iirc?) were dual core.

The quad core SNB moble parts have QM at the end of the model number rather than just M. I assume IB will do the same…
lets confuse the **** out of everyone - now you need to look at the model letter to tell what the chip actually is - `M` and `U` are dual core for mobile and ` T` are dual core for desktop

edit:

yes jim your right - i3-5xx , i5 6xx (and a couple of others) were all dual core on 1156
Is it me or has processor speed seems to have stalled? At one point it seemed a new speed every other month now most seem to have topped out at around the 3-3.4Ghz mark?

Now the focus is on lower TDP, apparently.
