Though Intel only confirmed its Consumer Electronics Show debut very recently, the company's Sandy Bridge processors have been a long time coming. And, with CES just a few months away, it's getting harder and harder for partners to keep a lid on products that utilize the next generation CPUs.

While poking around looking for more information on AMD's Mobility Radeon HD 6550M card, Laptoping.com has discovered several laptops that appear to boast the new Intel CPUs. The site uncovered an Acer Aspire 17.3-inch laptop, which has the Intel Core i7-2630QM quad-core processor alongisde the 6550M graphics. The same CPU was also found to be present in a Gateway machine, as well as in the Lenovo IdeaPad Y560P. Engadget also points to an HP gaming laptop, the dv7, which includes the 2GHz quad-core.

And you thought Santa couldn't come fast enough … Roll on January!
