Again they seem to talking about mobile processors. Although I am not sure we will see desktop processors in April either..

It would seem that Intel has confirmed that Ivy Bridge delay we told you about two weeks ago (here). Thanks to StryderxX for the heads up.

In his first interview to discuss Intel’s business in China, Mr Maloney told the Financial Times that the start of sales of machines equipped with Ivy Bridge – the 22nm processor set to succeed Sandy Bridge in notebooks this year – had been pushed back from April. “I think maybe it’s June now,” he said.

I went ahead and ordered me a i7-3820 and ASRock Extreme 4 combo from Newegg with a GigaByte 7950 yesterday, I just couldn't wait any longer. It should be a nice upgrade from my current Phenom 955 and 5850. Took me days to decide because of the 130W TDP of the 3820 but in the long run decided the X79 gives me better upgrade options in the future.

Ok.. Got that out of the way.. Damn.. I have been waiting patiently for a new laptop, figuring i only had 4-6 weeks to go.. Now im looking at 12-??? Weeks!!!!! BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Wont be looking to get a laptop until Windows 8 comes out. That is if I like the Windows 8 BETA thats coming out in a few days. The Developer Preview didn't impress me too much.

Totally agree the DPreview was unimpressive, I could not find the desktop or start menu, but I will download the Win8 beta on the 29th and see if they brought back the start menu, I was lost and didn't have a touch-screen!;)
 
Irregardless of whether this is for pre-built and/or laptop machines this move by Intel only Highlights the fact that AMD poses no threat to Intel what so ever and they can afford to sit back on the Sandy Bridge-E's they have left over in stock. If ever there was a case for AMD to get their $hit together this is it!!! It's funny how almost immediately after Bulldozer gets released Intel tells everyone not to hold their breath for Ivy.
 
I wanted to upgrade my CPU last year, but waited to see what Bulldozer was going to do, then thought I could wait until Ivy Bridge, but finally decided on the Sandy Bridge-E 3820 since I thought it was a good deal.

I usually tick tock my upgrades, CPU one year and GPU next, kind of got behind on both so just went ahead and upgraded them both this time.
 
I'll only upgrade my SB chip if I can put a hex core in this P67 board of mine. I'm not sure if they even plan to offer a 6 core 1155 IB chip though. However an IB dual core laptop may be in my near future.
 
In my mind this is a non-issue. There was already no compelling reason to jump all over an upgrade when the following things seem to be true of the industry:

Games are largely console ports that don't demand bleeding edge hardware to run well - and most recently released titles have turned out to be disappointing rehashing of the same tired formulas.

Operating system design (Win8) is focused on reducing rather than increasing system requirements over the previous generation.

Intel is competing in a stagnant market where it controls where the proverbial bar goes with respect to performance and therefore has little compelling reason to fight to stay ahead of competition that isn't delivering a worthy fight.
 
The FT article only mentioned notebook/ODM market but this from later today with anonymous source says:


April 8 - Z77, Z75, B75 motherboards

April 29 - 4 core IB, unclear if in stores or only launch.

June - mobile versions
 
There are a few Intel guys on XtremeSystems. I will try and PM them and see if they can tell me more. This doesn't tell us anything that we haven't already been hearing. That apparently, mobile Ivy Bridge cpus are getting pushed back for a few months. Ok, we knew that.

Doesn't HardOCP have an Intel contact?

I have no knowledge of is that guy is reputable or not, but he seems to have good sources, and from what i understood about that article, im happy. Im waiting for the IB 3770K and cant wait to upgrade my system. It being pushed back would suck.
Just curious to others waiting (or knowledgeable) about IB and Haswell, how long would IB have to be pushed back until you said screw it, im waiting X more months and just getting Haswell?
 
All the reports have been about laptop chips being delayed, not desktop. It seems desktop is still on track; hence the confusion.

Haswell is more than a year away. IB would have to be pushed back 11 months :p

Basically what I read. Glad the mobos come out 3 weeks before the processor, especially when you want to sort out all the mobos you want and don't want before you get the processor you already know what you want to get (for me, i5-3570).

But this is still about the mobile version, not the desktop version.
 
ntel is so far ahead of the game they are just pissing on AMD's grave. This just delays dancing post urination.:eek:

I thought he said things we're only delayed a couple weeks not 8 as was being reported by various websites. I read another article that IB for desktop might not make it till late April/May. But none of this is confirmed.

According to an engineer from a Tier 1 US manufacturer I spoke with in January, the problem isn't because of anything mentioned in the DigiTimes article. In fact, the article is mostly BS. Intel is having honest-to-goodness manufacturing/validating/QA problems with Ivy Bridge. Anyone who thinks it's because they're waiting to clear out the channel of old product is ignorant of Intel's product history.

PS: This will be top down, so this will affect deployment for desktops and laptops.

I stand by my original statement from 2/16. Again, anyone who thinks this is still a 'mobile only' delay is delusional (and grossly misreading any article they think supports their wishful thinking) since both mobile and desktop Ivy Bridge CPUs come from the same processing node.
 
What I find irritating is that they seem to be holding off in part because there is so much SB stock they need to get rid of. Good business strategy, sure, but it screws over the customers. I really, really wish AMD could step it up and compete with Intel to help with some of this.

Or maybe I'm wrong and reading into things, but eesh. I need a laptop but I was hoping to wait for IB.

I hate it when people think that AMD isn't trying. I think they're trying to compete to the best of their abilities. However, it just happens that it isn't good enough to keep up with Intel so far.
