What's in the Ivy Bridge line-up?

ho hum...

The shining star of the Ivy bridge is the Core i7-3770k. It has a clock speed of 3.5ghz, 8mb L3 cache, 77 TDP, and 4 cores with Hyperthreading. The onboard graphics are called the Intel HD 4000.

The replacment for the 2500k is the Core i5-3570k. It's changed features are a 3.4ghz clock speed and 77 TDP.

I read some benchmarks that came from a sample chip and clock for clock the Ivy Bridge chips will be 5%-8% faster.

Also, there will ne no dual-core chips.
