    Hi!

    I have seen this combination on a webshop. I think there aren't Ivy Bridge i3's.

    I'm working on a Intel Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz (Desktop PC) and that is just fine for me. Is the SB i3 as fast as the E5200?

    Is the SB i3 on a SB Motherboard? I ask because I think there are notebooks with SB that have cpu whine or such.

    Indeed, there is an Ivy-i3, the i3-3110M. But Lenovo is selling the new ThinkPads also with Sandy-i3s.

    " Also with Sandy-i3s" means that there will be the x230t with an Ivy-i3?

    AFAIK there are no IB i3's, so all X230 tablet's with i3's ship out with SB. Commander Wolf found this out and canceled the order and reordered it.
