Ready for round three! After a slight delay, Intel releases the next generation of the extremely successful Sandy Bridge architecture on the market. A revolutionary 22-nanometer manufacturing and a greatly improved graphics unit are to make up for the delay of the third generation Core architecture.

Intel is supposed to launch Ivy Bridge, the 22nm shrink of the Sandy Bridge processor line, this April, but a report from Asia casts doubt on that plan and the trend in PC vendor earnings would seem to support this claim. Ed. note: after this story went to press, Intel came out and publicly confirmed the delay.
