[TechSpot] IB-E delayed until Mid 2013

[K404]

Dated March 19, but I couldn't see anything posted on here?

http://www.techspot.com/news/47849-i...f-of-2013.html



>3960X.... more MHz or more cores?

[El Mano]

And suddenly SB-E makes sense.
We should stop buying Intel.

[iboomalot]

why go from 1156 to 1155 to 1150 ???

what a waste of time.

upgrading Mobo should be to increase speed such features as SATA3 vs 2 or USB3 vs 2 or PCI 3.0 vs 2

This changing sockets is BS IMO

A H2 launch of IB-E would put it within nine months of Haswell-E, so I actually don't think IB-E will happen at all. It's not worth the time or effort, Haswell-E will eat it alive. Also that timetable doesn't mention IB-E it only mentions Haswell, I can't remember Intel actually promising us an Ivybridge core for LGA2011.

The only thing I can take from all the SB/SB-E/IB launches is this; if you're buying Intel, buy early or don't buy at all.

no problem they will delay Haswell-E too

IVY E may got heat problem like IVY ????

[K404]

Ivy doesn't have a heat problem. No-one gives a crap about temps, power draw or voltage at 4.5GHz, 5GHz.... OC is a BONUS.

A performance point that Intel can put a 3-year warranty behind is what they care about

[SoF]

Well Ivy doesn't have heat problem on 4/8 but it would surely have 6/12+ at this point of 22nm imo.

Folding since half a week on a 3770K with medium aftermarket cooler and getting 70°C+ with 1.05V @4GHZ...getting some degrees hotter after 2-3 days constant load.
hot as hell here with 30°C...this behaviour might not be that sexy on a platform intendend to run 24/7 full load.

And it also would not be good to release it at 2.5 gig just to meet TDP.

I can say that 1.15V SB-E seems cooler than IB on 1.05V around 4 gig on 24/7 folding use what told me quite a lesson last days and makes me not that wondering about these news.

Wondering what 3990X might be able to do ^^

Lol. 30 degrees celsius is hot? Come and enjoy an Australian summer!

[paulbagz]

Hmm was keen for IB-E but guess I should wait for a new stepping SB-E ala 990X

you and I both..But it's getting closer and closer to Haswell..I'd rather them have scrapped SB-E and got strait for Ivy-E if one of the two had to be scrapped.

I want 8 intel cores w.o going the xeon route dangit! As soon as they drop an 8core desktop part that isnt $1k I'm all in..

[sin0822]

IMOlol go intel! delay !

[Tenknics]

Ivy-E has never been talked about by Intel, mentioned by intel, or is in any formal or non-formal roadmap by intel etc etc.

Ivy-E is an assumption, not an actual product.

SB-E was on roadmaps well ahead of time. Ivy-E hasn't shown up on anything, even the newest roadmaps that have haswell on it like the one posted, NO IVY-E!

I saw this article months ago and it's pure speculation. He's basing the delay off a roadmap that doesn't even address it. "Oh it's not on the roadmap, so it must be delayed until right after that roadmap ends" - Terrible speculation and logic.

The article mentioned the mainstream ivy bridge delay and goes on to assume that "Ivy-E" will be delayed too because it's not on the roadmap.


This isn't news, this is just junk.

[TRANCEFORMER]

i saw this article too days ago but i also found this which i dont know what intel plan to do with Ivy Bridge-E

that article is even worse, no offense, but did you even read it? It's just basically an article saying Apple skipped Sandy-E for Ivy-E which is why there hasn't been new mac pros in awhile. 0 source, 100% bs

[Chrono Detector]

I guess Intel has no reason to release another high end CPU due to a lack of competition in the CPU market.

I just rather if they release a new chipset that supports at least 6 SATA 3 ports and more USB 3 ports, its rather pathetic that current Intel chipsets only support a max of 2 SATA 3 ports.

[K404]

Well, if we get to add a wishlist, i'd like to see Intel scrap the 130W bin and offer the world 95W or less.....with a more meaningful, industry-standardised TDP

[Mats]

Intel should skip Ticks on the enthusiast platform.

x1000000000000000000

No point for minor refreshes.

Just bang out top of the line stuff that will last 2 years on its own.

I really think Intel agrees with you both on this. The idea of IB-E was fun for a while, but now it just feels like a bad idea when the platform is only top dog for two years. Knowing that Intel won't do a refresh part on enthusiast would make the investment feel a little safer.

What would you say if I told you that IB-E will be based on SB-E?

[paulbagz]

What would you say if I told you that IB-E will be based on SB-E?

I would ask you if its temps would be crapola like IB?

[Liam_G]

What would you say if I told you that IB-E will be based on SB-E?

If you said that I would say we have 8 core 32nm Ivy E ;-)

[Tenknics]

Uh is this a joke? Of course it is, just like regular mainstream Ivy is based of regular mainstream Sandy.

Every tock is always based off a Tick...that's kinda the whole point... this isn't news unless you were being sarcastic?

[Bobsama]

Actually there is a point to bringing out IB-E, despite all this mess. For one, it may be in development for servers & high-end workstations. Anything Intel can do to reduce power consumption or increase performance or contribution margins would benefit their favorite customers. If they're going to bring out IB-E for 2P LGA2011 systems, why not bring it to 1P LGA2011 systems too? If they're branding 1P as Xeon, why not brand a consumer version as Core i7?

Anyways, I just wish Intel would launch enthusiast platforms before consumer platforms. At least then we could tolerate "missing" features. Do it like LGA1366 was to LGA1156. I find it a massive disappointment that X79 lacks a 4-port USB 3.0 controller (unlike other 7-series chipsets) and that it's still limited to 2 SATA3 + 4 SATA2. The only advantage of the platform is quad-channel memory (which, more often than not, performs exactly like dual-channel) & the additional PCI-E lanes. Sure, a 6C/12T processor is an advantage, but it's not game-changing. If you really want 6C/12T, Westmere still seems a better bet. You lose some performance but you don't have to rebuild.
