We can’t say this one is much of a surprise considering we’ve heard multiple times that Intel was planning to launch its next generation of Sandy Bridge processors in early 2011 , but Chipzilla just confirmed that it will indeed be launching those “second generation Intel Core processors” at its CES press conference on January 5th. The details in the invite are few and far between, though apparently our favorite Intel exec Mooly Eden will take the stage to show off the “world’s fastest processor” as well as technologies that “enhance visual life.” Our guess is that we will also hear a number of Sandy Bridge system announcements from major laptop and desktop manufacturers at the show. Of course, we’re also hoping to hear some solid Oak Trail / tablet news and more details about LightPeak at the presser, but there’s one thing you can count on… us liveblogging our hearts out! Confirmed: Intel Sandy Bridge or ‘second generation Core processors’ to be introduced at CES originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 15 Nov 2010 22:22:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds .
