In a leaked slide from VR-Zone Chinese, we have early confirmation that the LGA-2011 based Ivy Bridge-E is slated for Q3 2013.

The newest client platform road-map leaked by VR Zone Chinese shows that the next-generation high-end desktop (HEDT) platform will be released in Q3 2013. In addition, the Ivy Bride-E looks to follow the release of Intel's Core "Haswell" processors based on the LGA 1150 socket in Q2 2013. The Ivy Bridge-E will be built on the same 22 nm process as the current Ivy Bridge and will utilize the LGA 2011 socket. Though not all details are known, the Ivy Bridge-E should feature more processing cores, memory channels, cache, and be a PCIe 3.0 certified system.

What remains to be seen is if Intel will launch a new chipset, along with the release of the Ivy Bride-E processors. If history repeats itself, expect Intel to release a new chipset with Ivy Bridge-E to replace the X79 chipset. As with the current Ivy Bridge, Intel released a new chipset with the transfer to the Ivy Bridge processor, though it made certain current LGA 1155 chipsets were compatible. With current X79 chipsets not fully certified for PCIe 3.0, we look for the new chipset to be fully PCIe 3.0 certified, along with other features being implemented with the Lynx Point Chipset on the "Haswell" platform.

In other news, the slide does look to confirm what we reported in July about the up coming release of the Intel Core i7-3970X in Q4 2012 just-in-time for the holidays.

I'm sorry, but this seems like a doomed chip. Considering Haswell is marked for Q2 release, the only people after IB-E would be the ones that needs loads of cores.
 
I guess I may well be in a minority, but I for one look forward to dropping in an 8/10/12 core replacement for my i7-3960x next year. Who knows what Intel will do between now and then; they may drop their plans for any further LGA2011 processors.
 
I dunno there's more chance of it being an 8 core behemoth released that late, if they rushed it out the door this year it would probably just be a 6 core rehash of SB-E.

Intel really have no reason to release an 8 core CPU until the end of 2013 because SB-E still utterly dominates everything.

Good, I'll enjoy the replacement chip 18 months from now. Excellent life out of a socket 2011 board if you buy one now. Just think about how many games will be multithread by then
 
So the date has been moved back slightly, this is was originally scheduled for Q2 so not really anything that requires a new thread surely? lol

How do you know how Ivybridge-E performs? and Haswell for that matter? We have nothing to go on yet. As i stated in the Haswell thread:

Not 2011 yet.

Ivybridge-E is still scheduled for LGA2011 Q3 2013 for Performance/Enthusiast users.
Haswell is scheduled for supposedly for LGA1150 Q1-Q2 2013 for Mainstream/Performance users.

Here's some news:

You can't compare Ivybridge to Ivybridge-E just like you can't really compare Sandybridge to Sandybridge-E. Different layout, IMC, amounts of cache, amount of cores and also the lack of IGP etc. They're made differently and they perform differently.
Ivybridge-E will give the ability of the full 8 cores and a much better IMC. All of which would be lovely.

I for one can't wait to get an improve IMC and generally improved LGA2011 chip of 6 or 8 or maybe (unlikely) even more cores.

That's true, but at least the IPC matches the mainstream variants. Unless Intel does the Bulldozer, Haswell should have better performance and would be the gamer's choice.

Well that's no different to Ivy now against SB-E with Ivy being cheaper and better IPC (Barely, but it's there)
Obviously Haswell could be a lot better IPC, but in its mainstream it'll still likely be 4 cores unless PD can pull a miracle and get like 50% better performance.

I agree. Hasewell will possibly be a smaller ipc jump (since intel are boasting igpu improvements over anything else) it will most definately be a quad core. Considering most mainstream users barely use a quad why would we need hex/octo to be mainstream?

I'll be interested in what IB-E will bring to the 2011 socket that will actually warrant the die shrink of the SB-E architecture. I must admit I have my doubts about it actually having a lot of new features. Other than slight increases here and there. It will probably be like SB to IB for current SB-E users.
 
oh, just to add... Dear Intel, please don't forget to solder the heat spreader on this time...

PCIE 3.0 that actually works would be a start
 
Ahah. If they mature the tri transistors and solder instead of TIM IB-E will be a cool running beast of a chip to be fair. But if they do that I would be surprised.

It's not just the CPU's that are better on LGA 2011, the mobo's are far superior to the Z77 boards etc. 2011 is the best choice for high end rigs imho, if Ivy E launches in 2013 just means 2011 has longer shelf life, I do not want to part with my X79 UD5, nicest mobo I ever used.. Look forward to 8 core Ivy chips :D.

+1

In theory people may just be able to replace their SB-E CPU with an IB-E one. In practice when IB-E comes out there will be a whole new range of mobos with new and extra features or things they should have got right first time round like PCIE 3.0

I for one am looking forward to putting my brand new IB-E into a Rampage 5 Extreme.
 
I might have to look into x79... Somewhat want to change off my IB cpu.. even though I would waste most of the x79s features... I think it should have been what I did in the first place... But would depend on money etc obviously.

Thats one hell of an assumption you're making there. If that slide is to be believed it would suggest that the performance of Haswell would not be as signficant as you might hope, which would mean that IB-E would indeed be likely to launch around that date and still represent the premium desktop solution.

You might want to think things through and consider the reasons 'WHY' the release date is hinted at being as indicated before posting such generalisations. You would really look stupid if IB-E ended up being the king in Q3 2013, and to be honest there's no reason why it shouldn't since even on PCI-E lanes along X79 still offers more than Haswell will have to offer and I'm sure I read somewhere that there is another chipset slated as coming along to replace X79 on socket 2011 as well, which could augment IB-E capability furhter still.

Whats more, you seem to only focus on the desktop because 2011 is actually more prevelent in other market segments. Kind of a blinkered view you have there.

ASS U ME
 
I think orcvader meant price/performance wise haswell will be the gamers choice, much like if you only play games and only have 1 or even 2 graphics cards then price/performance wise vanilla ivy/sandy is plenty good enough

I think you've done the same thing and made assumptions about his post

overly defensive 2011 owner anyone?

(for the record I have a 3930k too in case you think I'm trying to get at 3930k users)
 
I meant gamers choice, I'm sure IB-E will do well in other markets such as HD editing/VM/folding/rendering, but I'm looking it at a price/performance view for gamers. I'm just saying if you're only gaming this seems a bit silly to buy...
 
I'm chuffed to bits I chose 2011 after knowing about this now. I knew I was making a sensible choice and that there was a good chance of a hefty upgrade at some point in the form of just a processor. x79 does what I want to a new chip for 2011 does not interest me only the new processor q3 2013! Lets hope it is king

Unless of course you're already on LGA2011.
