Intel Chips out this year?

[LateX'Dog]

Just wondering if Intel have any chips planned to be released this year and if so where can i read about them?

Currently looking at upgrading from a I7 920 @ 4.2ghz.

Thanks.

With the Ivy Bridge they come with graphics on board, is there a way to disable this? And does it effect performance?

I haven't done any CPU research since i purchased this i7, which is just a CPU.

It'll be the same as it currently is with SB.

To be honest, that is still a damn good CPU you have there. Don't think the forthcoming Ivy bridge chips will be massively better than what you have.

Well i need to upgrade my graphics card this year at some point and i dont want the CPU to bottleneck my new graphics card.

It will automatically be disabled if you're running a discrete GPU or have a motherboard which doesn't support the onboard GPU. It will not affect performance.

Which GPU/s are you planning to run? As that will dictate whether the i7 920 will be a bottleneck.

Probably the new generation Nvidia card, so anything 2-3gb GTX X80

Better IGP.
Lower power consumption.
Lower heat output.
Should clock higher.
Some small IPC improvements, under 10% likely.

I can't imagine an i7 at 4.2GHz is going to bottleneck even the new nVidia cards.

Hang on, I thought the Sandybridge Xeons were out already???

E-12xx series??

Does anyone know how Ivy Bridges 3 monitor support will work? Will you be able to configure one large viewing screen, will monitors support 3 x digital output.
