Ivy Bridge-E waits until the second half of next year

From the six-core Intel Core i7-3900 series processor, we have seen the kind of dominance and dominance, and the performance aspect has been ridiculous. Both the SNB and the bulldozer are only able to eat earth in the back. Perhaps it is because it is so powerful that neither the upcoming Ivy Bridge nor AMD's next-generation pile driver will threaten its status. Intel decided to let it enjoy the peak of loneliness for a long time, and there would be no successors in the short term.

According to Intel’s latest roadmap, Sandy Bridge-E’s successor, Ivy Bridge-E, will officially meet with everyone in the second half of next year, which means that SNB-E will serve for nearly two years. The positioning of Ivy Bridge-E may have some embarrassment, because Haswell will be launched in the first half of next year, which may cause some impact on the market position of the six-core Ivy Bridge-E, but fortunately there are eight cores on the top. It won't cause too much embarrassment.

Of course, Intel will not be satisfied with the status quo. In the second quarter of this year, the upgraded versions of the i7-3820/3930K/3960X will be launched. The default frequency will be increased from 100 to 200MHz, and the performance will be slightly stronger. Ready to start SNB-E Platform friends may wish to wait for some time.
