The Ivy Bridge NDA expired back on April the 23rd and it also appears the retail embargo was lifted at some stage this weekend too. Retailers across the UK have now started listed Ivy Bridge processors and the prices seem fair given the extra clock per clock performance you can get over Sandy Bridge with slight power savings. Currently there is availability of selected Core i5 and Core i7 models, for lower performance and cheaper Core i3, Pentium and Celeron Ivy Bridge CPUs you will have to wait longer, in the region of another month.
