damn...i cant wait till 2013, i'll have to get an Ivy and hope its not a huge mistake (as in, Intel is going to kill LGA1155 soon after).
Those images are too small for sane people to notice.

How is it that the thermal area of chips keeps getting smaller and smaller ? or am I just an AMD noob?
I'm pretty sure my e8500 had a whole plate covering the top area.
Looks impressive, but overall this is not giving us real, meaningful info.
What's impressive about it? Maybe from a shareholder perspective small die size is impressive. Instead of giving us more cores they're increasing margins by decreasing die size.
This chip is going to sell like crazzy in the laptop market
the die size looks exactly the same going from ivy to haswell and no the share holders are happy they get 20% more performance and 50% less power draw.

50% less power consumption? Wrong. Haswell is going to have a higher TDP than Ivy Bridge, probably because of AVX2. I compared the die size to SB not IB. Ever since Nehalem with every new architecture Intel is decreasing the die size. Unfortunately AMD is so uncompetitive that they can do that and still sell like hotcakes.

lol you need to do some reading
Intel promises '20X' power reduction with 'Haswell' chips
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/13/haswell_at_adc_2011/
20x power reduction is probably related to lower power performance states. It mostly benefits the portable computers, of course
"We've targeted Haswell's design not just for lower power, but for architecting a system-level power-managemnent framework that's supported by efficient systems design throughout the ecosystem that has the opportunity to reduce the platform power by a factor of more than 20 over our current designs."
What does standby power have to do with TDP? There's been a leak that TDP for top mainstream CPUs will go back to 95W.

I took this out of your own article
Targeting primarily the Ultrabooks, Intel Haswell will consume 30% less than the previous generation of Core i
That is why i am Holding on to my X58 system for another year. What is wrong with INTEL to keep changing sockets like that
I meant desktop processors which TDP is supposed to be 95W up from 77W of Ivy-Bridge.
The end user does not care how it works, as long as it worksNothing.
What would you do if Ivybridge/Sandybridge were on Socket 1156 or 1366? Buy another motherboard, because your X58 chipset wouldn't support them.
Changing sockets, if anything, keeps things cleaner for end users. The only thing it "prevents" is buying a new motherboard and using an old CPU. Not many people (although a handful) would really have interest in doing that. The only time it was really remotely useful was the transition from AGP to PCIe.
You want a new CPU? You need a new CHIPSET not a new socket. Complain about chipsets not sockets.

I dont know where you are getting your facts but you are wrong.22nm was said that it would give the same performance at almost half the power draw over sandy,that is what ivy is all about,a more efficient sandy.
