Intel May Show Ivy Bridge CPUs at Computex

I love how so many people are responding to this statement seriously. lol.

Anyways what happened to LGA 1366 processors?!

So newer, faster, more efficient, but can't read hard drives after 2 years? Sign me up! - lol

It was the SB chipset that had the problem, not the CPU itself. If you had kept up with the news, you might have known the difference already 😛.

Stupid, I mean what maybe 1% of users can actually use something faster than the current generation?

Showing Ivy Bridge this early is a bit silly in my honest opinion. There are people out there who don't believe Sandy Bridge is a big enough improvement over Nehalem and they're only going to wait for Ivy Bridge before parting with their money.

My guess is that Intel wants to steal some of Bulldozer's thunder. IIRC Intel introduced Nehalem at IDF in 2007 and released it a few months later.

And the 2600K does pretty well compared to the flagship 980X in quite a few games, at a third of the price, and beats it in transcoding with Quick Sync dedicated circuitry. So what Intel did was move much of the performance of a 6-core expensive CPU down to the mainstream level. The performance SBs will be out in the next quarter or two and those are the ones that should be compared to the current 1366 range.

Whatever! Good thing that I did not do a 1155 build immediately when launched. I can only imagine my Ivy Bridge rig.
CPU = My first extreme edition CPU(drool)
CASE = TJ11
VC = 2x 6990

One thing for sure that I'll do. SAVE MONEY FOR "IVY BRIDGE".

So AMD's Llano is supposed to be 32nm and launch next quarter just as Intel rounds out its 32nm stack.
Then next year AMD will launch 28nm chips and Intel will launch 22nm chips.
Unless you missed it AMD is about a generation back even on Intel's "tock".

they're already having issues with the current models, due to too small transistors, I can't imagine the 22nm to run very stable!

Assuming you're talking about the Cougar Point issue (SATA port degradation), what does 22nm have to do with anything? The PCH is where the problem was, not the CPU. The Sandy Bridge CPUs work fine, it's the Cougar Point PCH B2 Stepping with the issue. Ivy Bridge is going to be 22nm, that doesn't mean the PCH is going to follow suit...the PCH is 65nm.

Bulldozer behind SandyBridge? It will still be behind Nehalem and Lynnfield.

@otacon72 and masterasia

wanna share your benchmarks to support this? must be nice to have access to time machine huh

 

[Tamz_msc]

There slides going around showing that the 8 core BD is 50% faster than the 4 core i7 950. Here it states that Ivy Bridge will be 20% faster than Sandy Bridge.So, unless Bulldozer is truly 'Phenom'enal, its going to be a disaster for AMD.

 

[jprahman]

Well of course a 8 Core CPU is going to be faster than a 4 Core CPU.

My outlook on bulldozer is that it will beat Lynnfield and Bloomfield, and it'll take an 8 Core Bulldozer CPU to match a 4 Core Sandy Bridge. However, the 6-8 Core Sandy Bridge chips will beat Bulldozer handily and Ivy Bridge will widen the spread. At least that's my theory, we'll have to wait for the benchmarks before we'll know for sure.

Yeah even by saving 100 bucks a month you'll have enough for the Ivy Bridge cpu. That's what i'll be doing
