The question is, are these available tomorrow? (september 3rd)
Well i would like to build a mini itx setup with one of these new i3 ivybridge processors so am looking forward to seeing them for sale.

Already see it on sales on competitors sites. No idea what's the hold-up at OcUK...

Don't know where you got the 77W TDP from (from what I recall that's the TDP for IvyBridge i5), but according to cpu world the IvyBridge i3 is 55W TDP.

Its Arabic or something so you read right to left.
Cinebench score for 3225 (3.3GHz) vs 2120 (3.3GHz) is 3.31 vs 3.19, or about a 4% increase.
Given that the fastest current SB core i3 is clocked at 3.4GHz, and so is the fastest ivy bridge chip, intel really isn't pushing any boundaries here.
It makes me wonder what the margins must be like on the 3570k, I bet they are huge. Given the number of server chips with hyperthreading they manufacture, there must be a sizeable fraction of chips with faulty HT blocks they can just sell as core i5s. So far it seems that the i3 chips are there to make the i5 look like good value.

Such a ghetto photoshop job on the box, you can still see i5 at the top.
