When will 7W Ivy Bridge reach tablets?

[AndyKH]

Hi

I'm in the market for a tablet (a thin and light with keyboard dock, clam shell design, x86) and sadly I don't have the luxury to wait until Haswell or bay trail (I'm leaving on a trip in August).
I'm *very* close to buying a HP Envy X2, but I always loathed netbooks because of their anemic performance and I'm thus afraid of regretting spending money on something I'll never really like.

I'm therefore betting on the 7W Ivy bridge and that it will allow production of something almost as light and compact as an atom based tablet.

However, almost all info on the 7W Ivy bridge processor seems to focus on the whole SDP debacle with next to nothing on when the processor can be found in tablets and which brands it will be.

Therefore I'm hoping that some of you can help with information on this.

Thanks in advance.

The Lenovo Yoga 11S will use it when it comes out.

There is no such thing as a 7W Ivy Bridge. There is a 10W Ivy Bridge plus marketing, though.

I read somewhere they are looking to release a Core i7-3689Y, 3439Y-i5, and i3 i5-3339Y-3229Y, with CPUs clock speeds of 1.4 to 1.5 GHz

Doubtful it will see much adoption in small consumer clamshells. The PCB inside my Yoga 13 is quite large compared to Atom Netbooks, that could be a major problem for even smaller devices. Something like said Yoga 11s, the Surface Pro or that 12" Dell one could be your closest shot.
