Sources
within the industry revealed that the second wave of Ivy Bridge processors for
ultrabooks is set to be released near the start of June.
The second
wave of the Ivy Bridge processors will come at around the same time as the
Computex event that is scheduled to start on June 5 in Taiwan. This was
revealed by insiders who were knowledgeable about the plans of PC manufacturers
and Intel.
A good
number of these ultrabooks that are set to be released in June will feature the
latest power-efficient versions of the Ivy Bridge processors of Intel.
The initial
wave of Ivy Bridge processors were mainly the quad-core, high-performance
models of the processor that were designed mainly for use on large-sized
high-performance laptops like the gaming laptop that were announced recently by
Samsung.
The Ivy
Bridge processor is closely connected with the upcoming version of the
operating system of Microsoft, the Windows 8 OS. This close connection is due
to the upcoming emergence of hybrid designs of devices following the release of
the OS in the later part of the year.
According to
the new business head of Intel, Kirk Skaugen, the hybrid designs, which merge
the best features of tablet and laptop devices, will offer a new experience for
users who will be able to type using the clamshell mode of the device or
convert the device into full tablet complete with touchscreen capabilities.
Paul
Otellini of Intel had revealed earlier that over a hundred ultrabook designs
will be released into the market following the availability of the Ivy Bridge
processor.
