EE Times: Moore's Law predicted to hit a speed bump

[ShintaiDK]

Actually a more revealing comparison would be between some i7-3930K and the soon to be released Ivy Bridge E / or the XEON counterparts. Presumably the architecture would be the same and by now Intel would've cleared all the wrinkles in the 22nm process.

Not really. Those would have the exact same properties as on LGA1155. Also Intel already said they use different 22nm transistors for Haswell.

Only reason why you dont have IB-E/EP/EX now is simply validation.
