Are the drops all level 60? Do they vary between acts like at other difficulty levels?

After patch 1.03 the item level drops at Inferno difficulty have been changed. High-end items (items level 61-63) will now drop in all Acts of Inferno and Acts III and IV of Hell difficulty. The new approximate drop rates are the followings:
Hell - Act III and Act IV
iLvl 61: 13.9% (+4.9%)*
iLvl 62: 3.45% (+1.55%)*
iLvl 63: 0% (no change)*
Inferno - Act I
iLvl 61: 23.9% (+6.2%)*
iLvl 62: 12.6% (+4.7%)*
iLvl 63: 4.8% (+2.8%)*
Inferno - Act II
iLvl 61: 23.3% (+4.7%)*
iLvl 62: 18.6% (+6.2%)*
iLvl 63: 9.3% (+5.2%)*
Inferno - Act III and Act IV
iLvl 61: 27.1% (+3.0%)*
iLvl 62: 21.7% (+5.6%)*
iLvl 63: 16.3% (+8.3%)*

1Thanks! I've found that gaming.stackexchange.com/a/69881/2634 mentioned this link: us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/6262208 . Nothing beats official patch notes, though.– SjoerdJun 19, 2012 at 16:05
Hell Act 4 drops mostly gear sub-level 60 and so does Inferno Act 1. I'm not far into Inferno yet, but already now I can (almost) safely say that it varies like on other difficulty levels, beacause only some of the items I find are level 60, definitely not all.
Jay Wilson stated in this Inferno Video, that every Act in Inferno increases in difficulty and loot quality. But not all drops are level 60.
