Ivy Bridge manufacturing details !
UBM TechInsights has an Ivy Bridge processor marked as a 3.3GHz Core i5-3550 chip packaged in Malaysia. It has a die size of 170 mm2, down from 208 mm2 for the current Sandy Bridge i7 2600K CPU.
In its initial tests, UBM TechInsights found gate pitches of 90nm in the embedded SRAM array in the processor. It also found logic regions with gate lengths of 22 nm.

99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: ONLY SOME LOGIC REGIONS IN 22nm ! That is why Intel's processors chip area remains the same, from generation to generation.
