Rumor: Intel to delay releasing Ivy Bridge

[OCGuy]

Keep pretending it's because they have nothing better to do. Just don't forget Larrabee and the SB chipset failure, and now IB at least 3 months late. The Ivory Tower is falling to pieces.

According to what? This thread with a dubious source?

Seems like you might be dreaming.

Even if Intel delayed IB for 18+ months, they would still have 22nm out the door before AMD.

Makes sense as it adheres closer to their tick-tock schedule which has changed since SB was basically released in April.

NO SB was released in Jan . People who were going to use sata 3 ports bought reguardlesss of the sata 2 ports. SB was released in Jan . The repaired M/Bs were here in March . You skipped right to April . AT got that wrong so sorry. Did you see Intels first Qt results. Than the OEMs wanted the CPUs as many as intel could supply even tho NO M/Bs . Intel even wrote off part of the huge 1 billiom dollar loss . LOL.

Yeah, their tick tock strategy seems to be slipping. Releasing ivy bridge right up against Komodo, Terramar, Sepang and Trinity is not ideal for intel. Plus, by that time Krisnha and Witchita should be on the market for a couple months.
I'm not surprised though, their 22nm is probably giving them a bit of trouble.

Yes, technically it was a Jan. release, but then the recall happened. Some people kept their boards, but most traded up for the B3 revision in late March/early April. And everyone else interested couldn't even buy SB after the recall. Anyway you spin it, SB was delayed and they took a loss for it. Not to mention the small dent in PR.

Actually thats not true . Some M/Bs B3 were early march late Febuary we have the topics here. As for SB they stayed on sell . and retail stores were steal(still) selling B2 to those who wanted the sata 3 ports . Not only that . For people on a budget many bought the cpus and other parts as they could afford them . No matter how you dice it up SB was released in jan. Intels 1st qt. results were great. So were the hurt the pain intel suffered threw these harsh 3 months. LOL.

Anyone here actually remember last time intel OR amd held a release date? They have the same timing as valve does with games..its done when its done.

Thats a posstivite way to look at it
Valve make good games, their kinda like blizzard in that "its done when its done".

Remember:
Age of Cocan = rushed = fell apart = now f2p.
HellGate:London = rushed = fell apart = cant be played now.
Vangaurd:SoE = rushed = fell apart = still playable.

Age of Cocan stands out the most to me, it was promised with graphics it didnt have (but would get patched to), it had alot of bugs and was missing end-game content (and other in-game content it was promised to have), and the pvp was horribly un-ballanced. So even though it sells a buttload amount of units, its subscribers usually left it within a short time playing it.

I still enjoyed playing AoC, thing was just when you hit level cap, there wasnt really much to do, and pvp system wasnt ballanced. I loved the Arrow-key combo's you had to charge up to pull off moves that made pvp fun.

^ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Sometimes takeing the time to do it right first time around is worth it.

Roadmap confirms 22nm Ivy Bridge in March-April 2012

Wide availability of various boards wasn't until April. People buying parts in advance is nothing new. Intel may of done ok, but a loss is still a loss and it's very unlikely they share your optimism. At best, it was a botched Jan. release. Hell, P67 was a joke and shouldn't even exist. Z68 should've been there from the beginning. Just read Russian's link. ^ It's just one possibility to delay IB. Though I think it's likely a combination of reasons.

@post 34, Do you have a statement from intel . That first slide looks Intel the other 2 do not look intel . Infact the second graph looks like the IB part was pasted over the top of the real deal.

The reason I asked if Intel has made this statement . Is because intel did say IB early first Qt. 2012. So it falls on Intel to clarify this as they did make an earlier statement .

Now the BD coming out before 2h 2011 that surprized me as AMD never said that as far as I know . This whole thing looks like hype cooked up by some AMD fan troll and now that June is around the corner its time to cut and run. But cutting and running wasn't enough they had to do the IB is delayed thing first. LOL

Expect Delays...

hell i dont even think im gonna get lucky with a sample earily...

 

[Nemesis 1]

What you trying to say here exactly . You don't have a SB-E yet . Ya right.

 

[aigomorla]

What you trying to say here exactly . You don't have a SB-E yet . Ya right.

no not yet...

My sponsor couldnt find the one im looking for.. :\
you should know me by now on which one im lookin for..

it has a black label on it.

 

[Nemesis 1]

Oh your picky now . I see I can guess what ya want without any thought what so ever. So how much faster do expect SB-E the one you want to be faster than present intel highend 6 core unit . 30% 40% or were you looking at something like 65% increase in performance . I will go with the 65% performance increase including the clock speed stock increase.

 

[aigomorla]

im not going to make any guesses or statements.

Because if i do get one, it will be followed by a ton of NDA papers from my sponsor as well.

65% speed increase, dude, what are you smoking? Just compare 4 core SB to 4 core nehalem and remember that more cache would add some performance and 2 additional channels should have comparable gains as well.

Your Kidding right thats the min. We should expect . Whats wrong with your mind?
SB 2600K can compete with intels best right now add in the in 2 more cores . 65% performance increase in multi threaded apps is a min.

There are ways around that you know.

A man who compromises his ethics and standards still has to live with himself, no matter how deftly he outmaneuvers the legality of his actions.

 

[Idontcare]

I don't get it, who really cares (beyond investors) whether IB is coming in Feb or Apr? Its 60 days, big freaking deal.

Same with all this hullabaloo over a supposed delay to Sept for BD. Is it really the end of the world if it comes to pass?

Of course now JF won't repeat those statements. Concerning the delay he says he doesn't comment on rumours. But it would be completely resolved if he just repeated those posts now, so I'm inclined to think there is a slight delay to the new timeframe of "early summer" (not September, that is a pure rumour).

If there IS a delay I wish AMD would say that, rather than acting like they never said Q2.
If there ISN'T I wish JF would say that outright.

Well If you take a man at is word than here is your own post back at ya.

My point is that JF is not posting that statement any more. That could be because he's tired of posting it, but I'm speculating it's because it is no longer true but they don't want to admit a schedule change. I just don't know.

Another attitude one could take is that he said Q2 so it's going to be Q2. But you clearly didn't believe that since you said "where is this H1 coming from, I think it's hype".
