When will be the biggest laptop chipset release for 2013?

[Stephen Riley]

I've been using my Thinkpad T410 for a few years now and plan to replace it sometime this next year. I'm not in a rush. I was thinking of waiting until the next major chipset release. I'm okay with skipping a release or 2 if there is going to a bigger positive change.

What is the biggest laptop chipset coming out over the next year?

Intel?s nex-gen 22nm Ivy Bridge processors are coming in next month (end April) but Intel has already lined up its successor. According to a report from Digitimes, after the launch of Ivy Bridge processors this year Intel is planning to launch Haswell and Lynx point chipset in March 2013. They will be paired with Windows 8 which by that time would be stable in terms of performance. Haswell is based on a new socket, LGA1150 which will not be compatible with the current LGA1155 socket.

That's what I got.
