I really think there is no point to argue further more on irelevant statements who says then and that,and make solid facts on the table and finish this debate because clearly u wont give up atleast for 3 more pages on irelevant discussion.

Intel appears to have increased the idle speed from 800 to 1200 MHz, which will presumably impact energy draw. Nevertheless, we ascertained a reproducible increase of approximately 2 watts in all Ivy Bridge models compared with the old i7-2760QM – likely still a BIOS issue or peculiarities of the pre-production CPU. We will examine the upcoming production models closely for confirmation.

And finnaly
However, if you are the owner of a Sandy Bridge notebook, you will likely see little reason to upgrade to Ivy Bridge.

This conversation started due to the mention of ivy bridge desktop CPUs. Everything I have said is related to the desktop CPUs.

agreed, im new to the "mac scene" but some people are funny, from what ive seen it looks like apple releases 2 macbooks every year, so obviously they will release 1 this summer but lets make a thread everyday speculating on it so when it final is released the OP can do a fist pump to himself saying "yes i knew it"

Sorry,then i miss reads,my fault.I was thinking we are discussing about mobile ivy bridge because my statement was it's not worth to wait ivy bridge because they have same or greater thermal impact than sandy bridge.

Regardless if that's true or not, they have better graphics performance and USB 3.0. That's all the upgrade incentive I need.
