When Ivy Bridge-E will be released?

[gevorg]

Sandy Bridge-E is out and Ivy Bridge is expected in March 2012. What about Ivy Bridge-E? Will it be delayed too, like until Q4 2012, or will it shortly follow Ivy Bridge release?

Probably 3-4Q 2012 I would presume. Maybe later if Piledriver is, well, a 'pile'...

At least 1 year from now.

Yeah I wouldnt expect it too soon. Ivy Bridge is due out around March-April or at least thats what the current rumors are anyway. With AMD falling on its face with Bulldozer, Intel has really no competition at any price point over $100 so they may not get in too big a hurry to get these things out. I doubt they would drag their feet too much though. Id guess we'd see IB-E out around fall next year.

next xmas would be my guess.

Its not on the leaked Intel roadmap that goes to Q2 so no sooner than Q3.

Sandy Bridge was originally Q3/Q4, the release date blurring the line between those two quarters, so it got delayed. Maybe they can do Q3/Q4 with Ivy Bridge E.

It was my understanding that SB-E got delayed due to a number of reasons:

1. PCIe 3.0 spec being late and unable to test properly.
2. X79 chipset issues.
3. PCIe bug on the C1 stepping which will require a C2 stepping in Q1.

Now if Intel can clear all these issues up by Q1, as they predict, then IB-E will just be a die shrink and should be on time for Q3. Of course that all depends on how well IB performs (issues?) in Q1.
