At a conference of investors in recent years has shown that Sandy Bridge will be Intel’s first quad-core processors, followed by more mainstream dual-core chips.

And this is the message that the PC industry. “Quad-core is to live in January, dual-core will live in February,” said an industry source in the development of mobile Sandbridge “OEM [original equipment manufacturers - PC manufacturer]. Involved is to go with its quad- Core Laptop [CES] public, but they can not release their dual-core laptop by mid-February. “

Despite all the hype centered on consumer CES January is actually a difficult time to introduce products to PC manufacturers, for that person. “Only a bit of that [the delay in introducing dual-core systems] is to enable OEMs to change in inventories of older products that have,” said the source. “CES is open to a very bad time for OEMs [products introduce]. For they now have all their systems are built for the holidays and you now have a new product comes in January to replace the old stuff and it’s not an easy transition for OEMs to manage. “

Most systems quad-core designs with 15 inches and 17 inches, depending on the source.

Lenovo has the 15.6-inch IdeaPad Y560p, scheduled for release January 11 and announced to start by 9. The Y560p also has a technology called “rapid drive” traveling at high speed solid state disk drive with the column.

NVIDIA graphics chips in a number of laptops should be used in combination Sandy Bridge. Most of these systems use Nvidia Optimus technology that goes between the integrated graphics processor from Intel and Nvidia, according to the requirements of energy savings and performance, respectively.
