    Have any of Intel's ultrabook partners announced an Iris Pro equipped model yet?

    I imagine it'll be in the new Macbooks, whenever they launch, but as far as PCs goes so far all I've seen are new notebooks with a Haswell equipped with HD 4600 (or less). I haven't seen anything with one of the GT3e Haswells.

    What's the hold up on this?
    Is it the asking price from Intel? Issues with the BGA socket?

    I would actually be surprised if we see it in the new Macbooks either. higher thermal overhead than the lower chips.

    the best you can get in ultrabooks is the 28w iris equipped notebooks, zenbook infinity and probably the rmbp 13

    currently that we have news is only the w740su, with the gt3e

    intel have it paper launched but there isnt currently, no parts with the gt3 yet available, lest the gt3e

    Aren't the i5-4250U (MBA) and the i7-4650U (Sony Duo 13) GT3? They're low-power chips, but I thought their HD5000 was the low-power variant of GT3.

    I was looking at the last sentence: "intel have it paper launched but there isnt currently, no parts with the gt3 yet available, lest the gt3e"

    I don't think there are any full-voltage parts with any iteration of GT3/e on the market yet, though, although I'm sure it won't be long.

    you are correct, although from what I remember there arent standard voltage parts with the gt3, just gt3e
