Specifications of Intel's Mobile Haswell CPUs Leaked
Following on the heels of the desktop Haswell processor specifications, information about the mobile CPUs has been leaked as well.
VR-Zone published the specs about three processor SKUs, including the i7-4800MQ (2.7 GHz) and the i7-4900MQ (2.8 GHz) that target the higher end of the mainstream and multimedia market, as well as the flagship i7-4930MX (3.0 GHz) for the gaming and workstation market. All Haswell processors will be immediately positioned above Ivy Bridge.
The data sheet reveals that Intel will lift the TDP of Haswell compared to Ivy Bridge. The unlocked gaming CPU will now be rated at 57 watts TDP, up from 55 watts in the current i7-3940/3920 XM models. The mainstream processors will be lifted from 45 watts to 47 watts. As small as the increase may seem, an increase of the TDP is a significant for Intel and indicates that Intel targets noticeable performance improvements in these two segments. Rumor has it that the extra power, as well as power savings over Ivy Bridge are consumed by the graphics engine.
The CPUs will integrate Intel's new HD4600 GPU, which will run at a base clock of 400 MHz, down from 650 MHz in the current HD4000 generation. The 4600 will scale to 1300 MHz in the mainstream and up to 1350 MHz in the flagship processor.

Yeah really. . . what kind of inbred software engineer is employed to create this site? No edit on the comments, you have to click 3 times just to see a full-sized picture, and let's not forget that wonderful mountain of ads with viruii embedded in them along both sides of the page.
damn it, my bad. didn't read everything. All haswell processors have HD4600. still between discrete and integrated there is a difference.
I believe they are trying to get power efficiency down to ARM levels, only on their Atom line. The Atom is what is competing with ARM, for now.
The leaked specs are about the performance (QM) and extreme (XM, the mobile equivalent of desktop K-chips - complete with unlocked multipliers) Haswell mobile i7.
ULV variants of Haswell i3/5/7 are those that will be in the 7-20W range.

Their drivers in general have always been a problem. Their first gen 10Gb chip, the 82598, had issues with Linux. Did they fix it? No. They told everyone else how to fix it themselves. (It was just a matter of increasing the software buffers.) Some versions of Linux added an adjustment if it found that card, but Intel still, after more than three years, refuses to just write that into the Linux driver and correct the problem. There have been problems with their older 100Mb NICs, but they don't correct those, and now there's a major problem with their new X540 server 10Gb card, and I haven't seen a fix for that in over a month.
There's still a bunch of problems with all the older generations of integrated graphics. They just flat out said they wouldn't support the 900 series graphics in Vista and the Areo interface, causing a lot of people to get mad and a bunch of laptop makers to get sued. My current work machine uses the G45 chipset, and I have a ton of problems with it: Chrome and IE freezing, Outlook 2010 display problems, the laptop screen won't come back up after being in hibernation and hooking to a dock with a monitor. Intel just won't update the drivers to correct them.
I don't like companies who won't support their drivers properly. Increasing performance isn't as important as supporting the drivers and making them work.
Not sure what the network driver have to do with integrated graphics (they're done by different driver teams). Intel did have some trouble in the past, but you probably haven't tried Intel's current hardware (3000/4000) in Linux recently. 3D and 2D acceleration works flawlessly, even power management. Intel's on the forefront of open-source GPU driver support on Linux. They push their changes to the Linux kernel even before the hardware hits the shelves.
doubt it.
The HD4000 ones are IVB chips, if the desktop processors are an indication, then all Haswell chips get HD4600. BUT, there may be subdivisions within HD4600.
Atom is their (eventual) phone only solution, they seem to be driving Core to sub-10 TDPs (recent leak/announcement sub 13w IVB chips, for example), so maybe tablets will get those (surface pro and others already have Core i5s and i even remember reading a celeron based Win8 tablet).
So it's kind of mixed, though the only place they're at par with ARM on the power front is Atom.
AnandTech, most probably? At least that's where i read it.

Efficiency is word done divided by power consumed. Efficient does not mean or imply lower power usage overall.
Besides that, the CPU cores do in fact take less power than Ivy Bridge, but these are also paired with iGPUs that are 2-4x larger than Ivy Bridge, so the slight power increase is more than understandable.
Also keep in mind that the TDP is the supposed max power consumption. With the new power saving tech in Haswell that lets it 'race to sleep' faster, combined with the win8 workload scheduling we ought to see mobile battery life get a nice big boost on light to moderate workloads. The higher TDP only means that you will have less battery life if you are pushing your deice to the max, which rarely anyone does, and those gamers and content creators who do are typically ted to the wall while doing ther thing anyways.
thats funny, I have never had a problem with an intel driver in Windows who is more than wlling to help Intel make their drivers work with their platform. Meanwhile Linux has issues with most GPU manufacturers. Why? Because Linux devs do not support the hardware manufacturers with much of any help in making their drivers for their platforms.
Linux may be free, but $100 is a small price to pay to get software that largely just works out of the box.
The sub 10W CPUs will be limited edition chips for embedded applications (tablets), and will likely not be release with the initial product launch. Intel talked a little about it during the last IDF, and Anandtech has talked about it a bit in their podcasts (They have the most interesting podcast I have ever listened to).
Hmmm read this as well, if you haven't already:

They don't be faster but get nearer until AMD makes new version too... IN CPU there is now even bigger winner until AMD can somehow get someone to make better production node to them at desent price...
Wait for the 14nm shrink
Looks like all Haswell chips will have HD4600
