I reached out to Intel this morning and received the same feedback. Jon Carvill, at Intel Media Relations, reiterated via email that the reports of an eight week delay were inaccurate and that the schedule had only been impacted a few weeks. He went on to say that they were on track with their launch guidance to be in-market for spring and they expected to ship 50% more units of Ivy Bridge in the first two quarter of production as compared to Sandy Bridge parts.
