Intel's Sandy Bridge shows up in notebooks

******************************************************

Acer, Gateway and Lenovo

Although it is still more than a month away, Intel's Sandy Bridge quad-core Core i7-2630QM mobile processor has already appeared in a couple of of notebooks.

The Acer Aspire 5750, an unnamed Gateway model and Lenovo's IdeaPad Y560P are just the first of many models that will eventually show up with Intel's mobile Sandy Bridge CPUs. The noted CPU works at 2GHz and should be paired up with the HM65 chipset in most cases.

Some of the notebooks are paired up with Mobility Radeon HD 6550 or HD 6570 graphics that look like a simple replacement for the HD 5500 series.

Of course, we are talking about first listings and of course, Intel will officially announce these at CES 2011.

Sandy Bridge will still be based on the existing 32 nanometer manufacturing process, but the new architecture will include Advanced Vector Extensions to improve performance in certain media and math tasks and better handling of out-of-order execution. The integrated graphics may be the biggest leap as a brand new core will exist directly on the processor and give dedicated-level video performance that may include OpenCL general-purpose computing acceleration.
