Tech ARP - ED#126 : Intel To Launch More Sandy Bridge Processors In February Rev. 2.0
The specs and prices for a new wave of Sandy Bridge based i7 mobile processors was leaked and I noticed two new low voltage i7 CPU's and one i5 coming out either in February or after that.
In the second chart. Will these be used in the creation of an R3? Still disappointed that there's no quad core options yet.
Possible new options for either the R2 or a potential R3...
The 2 in front just stands for Sandy Bridge or second generation so in the picture below example it's just i7 630UM, i7 610UM, and i5 530UM.

It would probably revision 3, but looks nice. Nice increase over the current i5/i7, might reach 2.0 on oc.
edit: nvm, forgot about the 100mhz base frequency. That sucks, no oc then. -
And yeah. -
I was wondering what you meant by R2/R3.
-
Interested to see how much faster the CPU performance will be compared to AMD's E-350. With the cheapest i5-2530UM already costing half of what you can get a Brazos netbook for it better be a good bit faster.

ya know because sandy bridge is being known right now for being incredibly more power efficient then 1st gen core i series just based on what the old quad cores did compared to the new ones where people are getting 5-6 hours of battery life. Because sandy bridge's efficiency is so much better I can take a pretty educated guess that just the regular low voltage not the ultra low voltage would almost 100% fit within the thermal design of the m11x. My guess is the sandy bridge LV probably gives off just about the same amount of heat as arrandale ULV and probably gives just about the same battery life as arrandale ULV. So who knows maybe the m11x r3 will be built with just sandy bridge LV instead of ULV.
Can you imagine how much the m11x r3 would kick with the i7-2649m inside it. hitting over 3ghz on turbo + having 15% more speed clock for clock. Wow it would leave the current m11x in the dust and give just about the same battery life maybe even still a battery increase even moving to the LV cause sandy is that much more efficient.
Don't get me wrong tho I wont be disappointed if the m11x r3 still goes with ULV chips. The sandy bridge ULV's will still incredibly smoke the arrandale ULV's and the battery life on sandy bridge ULV's has to be through the stratosphere bet we see 8-9 hours of actual use-able battery life on the m11x if sandy bridge ulv's are used. 8-9 hours when integrated gpu is active i mean. -
When will we see laptops on the market utilizing these ULV processors? I can see 10+ hours of actual battery life being very appealing to some!
-
they will be released february 20th, the processors. So the very first sandy bridge ulv notebooks will probly start sprouting up in march or april

I can't wait. My current beast is barely pushing 1 hour! (HP DV9500)

What is up with the naming scheme? R2 ulv is completely different from the first batch of SB ULV's.
