DigiTimes, citing anonymous industry sources, claims that Intel will unveil 22nm Ivy Bridge CPUs in March of 2012.

The quad-code Ivy Bridge CPUs will have thermal design power (TDP) ratings of 45W, 65W and 77W, while the dual-core models will have TDP ratings of 35W and 55W, indicated the sources. For the 7-series desktop CPUs, Intel will launch Z77 and Z75 chipsets to replace its Z68 and P67, and a H77 to replace H67. Additionally, Intel will also release Q77, Q75 and B75 chipsets for business models, replacing the Q67, Q65 and B65.

cool...too bad it'll be awhile before Ivy Bridge-E hits, which is what I really want
 
Don't think these chips will out perform the sandy bridge E chips. Doubt intel will compete with them selves.
 
22nm. Almost half the size of my i7 that is still a great cpu for almost anything you would do on your desktop. Amazing actually.
 
I don't really like this "Tick Tock" where enthusiast and mainstream platforms are on different Tick Tock cycles. Makes it even more difficult to decide when to make a purchase. You're left guessing whether current gen enthusiast is going to be faster than the next mainstream model.
 
I noticed one of the slides with PCI Express* 2.0. Now what does the asterisk mean? Subject to Change? Im curious, simply because I thought 3.0 was next in line?(i know the lanes may not be fully saturated, but if buying the latest mobo, you'd want all the latest features right?)

Anyone shed more light in this area? Thanks.

More like a quarter of the size if you go by area.
 
well..bummer.. I was hoping sooner...rather 5+ months from now...

guess I may as well plan on a 26000k now then
 
God am I happy I did not wait for Ivy. After the way bulldozer turned out though it's not all that surprising.

Holy shit, when that i7-26,000K hits the market, I'm in for 2!

Back to serious: I'm still facing a dilemma of whether to go ahead and upgrade my X2 to Z69 + I5-2500K around late December, or wait until IB comes out in March.

Decisions, decisions...
 
Got my 930 to keep me company until Haswell... I might get an Ivybridge though.... depending on what happens.

You should be good until Skylake, maybe even Skymont. 2015-16 isn't that long to wait...LOL
 
Getting pretty small under that die protector cover, can't wait for the .2 chips...
Then again, there is a researcher that is growing chips vertically, so that will probably be the next dimension.

I would get the i5 2K now. I just got mine and it's worth it plus you may be waiting 6 month before the Ivy is out and the cost will be high. There is no game that a i5 can't handle. with games it's more the GPU that matters. Correct me if I'm wrong? i5 K overclocks easily I had mine @ 5ghz and it ran with no issues. But good cooling is needed.
 
I guess I'll skip the i7-2600k and wait until Ivy comes out. My overclocked i7-950 (3.06GHz but running 4.02GHz) can limp along until then at least. Really was hoping BD would be competitive, but that turned out to a turkey... and Piledriver doesn't sound like enough of an improvement. :(
 
so sandy bridge-e this holiday and ivy 1st q of 2012 what is the point of getting sandy bridge then just wait few months
 
I'm just concerned that ivy bridge chips will be made to not be faster than sandy bridge E. Ivy bridge is 4 core only instead of 6. And we're not sure if ivy bridge 2011 socket will be out at the same time or a year from now.
 
Goin with 2700k once it drops and OCing the crap out of it. Might bump up to these if the benchies are impressive.

I find it so hard to justify an upgrade. Nothing slows down my 930.

I agree. But I do plan to have 2 computers are one point, I doubt I'm gonna rid myself of a 930, so it's not really an upgrade but rather a new computer. One I'll probably use for schoolwork/creating random stuff/porn/other random crap. And the other will be gaming and multimedia.

Depending on my ability to keep myself from buying technology, I might actually wait til the Skylake or Skymont... but I always feel the want tugging at me.
 
This is why it sucks that BD sucks. With intel so far in the lead they can take their time and not worry about competition.
 
I have to agree... BullDozer was supposedly a break through, but what's been shown is far from it. Competition is crushed. I hope AMD comes up with some spectacular though, to get back on their feet.

Graphic cards, there is still competitions though. I hope AMD can get out of it's rut and have their 7000 series be simply phenomenal.
 
hmm...I'll wait for new architecture (Haswell) as well (I'll probably wait for the 'tocks' only from now on)
 
Tocks?

I was thinking of a haswell too. That's still dependent on how good it is. If they keep going at the rate their going though, it won't be bad.

I don't keep track of all those names, lol. But it wouldn't surprise me if I ended up using my current i7 930 until 2015.

The best part is not only am I satisfied with its performance, I'm also satisfied with how silent my setup is CPU wise. Despite overclocking to 4GHz, The H50 cooler only needs 2 fans running at 1200rpm which is very silent compared to the graphic card. Hardly a fancy cooling setup.

I'd imagine that a simple cooling solution like this would be all we need in the future even for overclocking. No need for any fancy water cooling setup with huge radiators ;)

plus by the time Ivy Bridge-E hits motherboards will have gone through a few revisions and things will generally be more stable

how long can Intel continue this tick-tock strategy?...how small can the die shrink get?...22nm seems pretty tiny...there has to be a limit right?

I don't think you can get much smaller than that. With smaller size you get more quantum effects, like tunneling. A solution could be stacking layers of circuits on top (actual 3D architecture) or start using spin of the electron as well as it's charge (spintronics). Either approach would be revolutionary.
