New Intel Chips to ship

Taken from: 

Computerworld - The first batch of Intel processors based on the company's Ivy Bridge microarchitecture -- 13 quad-core chips designed to run high-end desktop and laptop PCs -- were finally unveiled late last month.
The new quad-core chips are the first products in the long-awaited third generation of the Intel Core processor family to ship.
We have talked about Moore's Law frequently - here is Moore's Law in action - by the company (Intel) that Moore helped found!!!


Also, in the past, Intel has been criticized for not getting into tablet computers faster.  This article didn't address that, but Intel is working on it (see below):

Intel is taking on arch rival ARM today with the launch of new Intel Atom chips for tablet computers.
The Atom is a low-power version of Intel’s computer chips, and it is aimed squarely at tablets, netbooks, and smartphones. It represents the chip giant’s best chance to catch up with ARM, which dominates the mobile space with its power-efficient chip architecture and dozens of chip design partners.
