Intel plans to release a total of 25 models of its 22nm Ivy Bridge processors, including 17 CPUs for desktops and eight for notebooks and ultrabooks on or around April 8, 2012, according to PC makers in Taiwan.
Desktop CPUs to be unveiled include quad-core Core i7-3770K, 3770, 3770S, 3770T, and Core i5-3570, 3550 and 3450, with prices ranging from US$184-332.
Why Intel not make 6 cores Performance CPU's ? i will not pay 1K for 6 cores processor :down:
One has to wonder at the need for 17 different desktop processors =/

Because it is not needed for the majority of users. Most software only uses 4 threads or less, so higher clocks and/or lower power consumption pay off the most.
because you don't have to... cheapest intel hex can be obtained for 520€ incl. 20% vat..
You can get 6 core for around ~ $550Quote:

Given Intel's huge lead, the prices look great!
Please spare us from socket or VRM burn issues with Z77 boards thx!
BTW, I notice Intel really seems to love the number seven. 7-Series chipset Q77, H77, Z77, most CPU models have a 7 in it (i7-3770K, i7-3770, i5-3570, i5-3570, i7-3770S, i7-3770T, i5-3570S, i5-3570T etc.), turbo frequencies around 3.7GHz, 77W TDP...
Lucky number 7?
all the money is in servers and mobile, two very different types of chip at the moment. the desktop chips are just derivatives of the server and mobile designs. so for those wondering why the mainstream desktop platform doesn't look more like the server platform... it is because the architecture is for laptops
But that's what I mean.Quote:

That's 8 CPUs at most and would cover any and all situations.
It's why I dont understand that they have an I5-2310 and an I5-2320.

So guys do you reckon we will see 6ghz clocks more often with Ivy? Maybe not through multi but through BCLK dividers?
:)
I certainly hope so. Moving to a 2500K was just a stop-gap for me until the 6GHz Ivy's arrive :DQuote:

What is the name of the new chipset coming out with Ivy? What new features are on the horizon?
:up:
Damn,april 8...If only these fools at AMD would had released a competitive line of bulldozer,now we would had ivy bridge much sooner....
Yeah its 3 months away, there is time to turture a few more 2600K's yet ....
:D
Z77 chipset from memory. Not a great deal of new features bar pci-e 3.0 to my knowledge...
So any more news on this yet ?? A little over 2 months to go ....
:(
There is no unlocked (K) i5 listed - why? Do we have to buy the most expensive i7 to get an unlocked cpu?Quote:

I am now just mulling over, do I go New C2 Stepping SNB-E? Or do I go Poison Ivy i7 37xxx?

Hm not very impressive. I mean 3770K was 100 MHz faster and scored ~ 9% better. Hope it overclocks much better otherwise I will stick to my SB-CPU.
What is impressive is that it is <80 W TDP..
Hoping it overclocks like mad, on air, as a Z77 matx looks like my next upgrade.
