Intel will not release Ivy Bridge E this year

Looks like it will be releasing close to Haswell.

If at all. Haswell is supposed to be the next time Intel does an increase in core counts for desktop cpus. It's doubtful that Intel would position Haswell desktop against an IB-E if the core count gap has closed and Haswell is faster.
 
I guess that means that anybody who was waiting for IB-E should either get IB or wait for Haswell.
 
It's really annoying they hold out on the -E chips until the next gen is months away. Always makes me want to wait for the new tech instead of playing a very high premium for what essentially is 10-12 month old tech.

If on the other hand they did Ivy-E now, i would be throwing a lot more money after Intel this summer.

Was the same with 860/920 (forgot chip names), Sandy/Sandy-E and now Ivy. Bugger.
 
I'll say it: AMD is noncompetitive in performance, so Intel doesn't have to care, anymore.
 
I really dont care. Until something can flat out beat my 3930K into a pool of puss I could care less about Ivy-E it would be a side grade anyways. I am waiting on haswell E if they even make it.

i think it comes down to being cost effective and quite frankly with how late SB-E came out, its just not cost effective for Intel to release IB-E this year on lga-2011. if they are smart they just won't bother releasing it and wait for haswell for 2011. odds are that 15% performance increase you see on lga-1155 doesn't exist what so ever on 2011. the give away is the fact that there is very little if any performance difference between 2011 and 1155 SB except for a few applications that can actually stress all 6 cores/12 threads of the cpu.

lga-2011 is primarily just a shove it in AMD's face "look at what we can do" socket. highly doubt the sales numbers are anywhere worth giving a crap about compared to 1155.

Good point, since IB's main hit would be better on the mobile market :)
 
SB-E wasn't designed for the enthusiast market to begin with, it was made for the server market. Have you seen the reviews of the E5-2600 series Xeons? Most Dual Opteron boards I've seen support a max of 256GB RAM where the new Xeon's support a MINIMUM of 256GB with 512GB being more common and some boards supporting 768GB. This is why intel did the whole quad channel memory thing, for VM servers not workstations or gaming PCs.

The existance or lack thereof of IB-E chips will depend entirely on the server market and whether or not intel needs to release them to improve perf/W or perf/$ vs their competition. If the server market needs IB-E then we'll get a EE workstation chip or two as well (mostly for them to work the bugs out before releasing as xeons).
 
Huh, wonder whether there's any credibility to that rumor of the 3980X having eight cores.

This is exactly right, LGA 2011 only exists as an enthusiasts platform because it already exists as a Xeon platform. If it weren't for the Xeon platform desktop LGA 2011 would not exist at all. If they need IB-E in the Xeon market-space then they will probably make IB-E for the enthusiast desktop also. I would assume that they probably will eventually come out with IB-E, as they did similarly in the past. Nehalahem came out first on 45nm, with 4 cores, and then Westmere came out on 32nm with 6. LGA 1366 only existed as an enthusiast desktop platform because it also was a Xeon platform. Now we have SB-E with 8 cores on Xeon, and I wouldn't be suprised if we saw IB-E with 10 cores for Xeon and 8-10 for enthusiast desktop. Enthusiast desktop is limited by 130w TDP, while the real Xeon platform goes to 150W TDP.

I'd say it's doubtful.
 
It is not yet known if there will be any IB-E even.
But let's be honest, Intel releases CPUs as it fits to them and their business not the customers(and I mean not at all).

Exactly. Chances are that Haswell increases the core count for consumer cpu's. Its doubtful that they would release a IB-E just to be matched or come in close to by Haswell consumer same thing with the supposed increase in memory bandwidth.
 
That sucks, I'm still on my X58 platform because Sandy Bridge Extreme did not appeal to me, the performance gain was minimal. I hope next year Intel will come out with a new chipset revision of the X79 or whatever with native USB 3.0.

There will be an IVB-E. I'll bet you any amount of money that it will be released.
