Intel does not yet have a release date for Ice Lake-U, but it is expected to ship on 14 July for around $600 US. In other words, this is a much bigger deal than it probably would have been the first time you're hearing it described as such in a presentation at CES.

We'll update this post with an update from Intel, though, so keep an eye out. The release date for the 12nm Skylake-U part is likely set to be mid-2018 or mid-2019.The Trump administration has confirmed that a senior Republican lawmaker will be acting as a spokesperson for the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday afternoon.
