I am trying to recall what I read recently about inferno items. Did I hear that items will drop more frequently in inferno than in hell but it's the same items? Or are there items that will only drop in inferno? I'll be one of the extreme end game players for sure but am wondering if when gearing up through hell, will I be able to get the same items that are from inferno?

exclusive items....
what you are getting confused on is the items through inferno. All mobs across inferno have the same drop tables... just the odds are higher the further you progress. Essentially this lets you fast farm Act 1 multiple times for lower drop rates or slow farm act 4 for higher drop rates (or somewhere inbetween).
ilvl will play a part. Monster ilvls are different across inferno. High ilvl only drops or affixes will be limited to those mobs who can drop them. It is possible, if not probable, certain rare items or affixes can only be found in Act 4 inferno where the ilvls allow this.

No. This was already explained. You can get the same items across all of inferno... just higher probabilities later on.
This was explained when they told us that difficulty increased across inferno again.

And if I recall it is even possible to get "inferno tier" items in hell, but with lower probabilities than act 1 inferno indeed. But I'm not sure about that.

That is quite true.
Since the mobs around mid/end-Hell will be about level 60 it means that there's a small chance they can even drop the best item in the game (if on such can exist considering the randomness of items). It is however a very, very, very (*n) small chance that can happen. As monster level grows above 60 into Inferno that chance rises constantly. So playing in Inferno will guarantee you some very sweet items, that you can still get in Hell but only under some extraordinary drop chance anomalies.

Higher monster level = chance for a higher level drop.
There will be exclusive Inferno items (and therefore have better potential), but there will also be a few triers that can be found on both Hell and Inferno difficulty. You'll definitely want to gear up in Hell for a bit according to Blizzard, but at the same time, more potent items can be found in Inferno. Drops are never guaranteed though, and a good roll on a lower item can still end up being better than a bad roll on a higher item.
For everyone saying that there are exclusive inferno items, can we have a source for this? I specifically remember them saying that all items could be found in A4 hell, not that I have a source beyond my memory. Its clear that ilevel won't make much difference beyond A1 Inferno because ALL monsters in Inferno used to be lvl 61, they didn't increase the iLevel when they increased the monster level. But as said before if lvl 61 monsters can drop the highest lvl, whats the chance that lvl 60 cant?
Edit: Figured I might as well not be lazy and atleast find one source to support my claim.
"Item pools are not limited by Act, or Boss, or anything like that. While you'll have a better chance to get better items in Act IV Inferno, you could get those same items in Act I, or even Hell.
Our item pool philosophy is that you can break an urn and get the best item in the game - it's all a matter of chance. Running more difficult areas and taking on more difficult enemies will not always be the most efficient way to find upgrades."

In the original Inferno video they said if you got a item from Inferno it was be distinguishable. I took that to mean there will be items only from inferno.

I think they were just referring to the look of the higher/highest tier sets which, from what I understand, will generally 99.98% of the time all come from Inferno. What I understand the recent comments to mean is that it is still POSSIBLE to find this stuff in hell, but for the most part if you see someone decked out in full top gear, it probably came from inferno farming.

No i agree 100% with you just saying i think that's where this whole thing came from.
Yes there are a LOT of items that are inferno exclusive. With the recent inferno change however, it can be confusing but here's how it works;
Every item that can drop in inferno can drop anywhere from acts 1 - 4
The later acts (which are now more difficult with the change) have an increased chance to drop said items.
Inferno acts 2-4 are meant to be a giant progression that should take a long time for most players. Luckily you can still 'farm' the first act and have the best items drop, but if you manage to beat act 4 and can successfully farm there, there is a better chance for them to drop.

Do you have a source for something saying there are items that drop only in inferno? Blue post I linked says otherwise...
