More rumours of no more X79 CPUs

I have to be careful what I say for contractual reason. But there will be IVY-E on X79. Cant give specifics but this is a certainty from last Intel conference in US just completed.
 
No probs.

I have been careful enough what I say.

I could edit anyway if necessary mate I am a mod.

Hey better safe than sorry, imagine if I had quoted it and you didn't realise you had made a mistake and Google cached the page before you could edit me and then Intel saw it and sent the robotic ghost of Christmas past (from the future) to kill you! You would be like "damn Ubersonic why did you quote me?" and id be all like "don't taze me bro!" and that's how you get ants...

Or am I over-thinking this?
 
No, you're right! And following through to its logical conclusion the sky would fall down, caterpillars and donkeys would start mating, and Justin Bieber would win a Nobel prize and Knighthood for services to vapidity.

Damn, that was a close call there.

not sure if you'd know yet or not (or if you do know it's doubtful you'd be able to say), but I hope to hell that they haven't cheaped out on the TIM between the IHS and the die like the non -E part!

The whole reason I "only" bought a 3820 (12 months ago now!) was that I could upgrade to IB-E when the time came.
 
Didn't Intel announce they are phasing out their own branded boards? would have thought if the more recent releases will have soldered on CPUs it would have been more profitable to keep their own branding. Personally I don't believe the rumours.

The reference to solder, is relating to how the Heatspreader is attached to the core of the chip. On Sandybridge chips it was soldered, whereas Ivybridge used thermal paste/thermal adhesive, resulting in poorer conductivity to the heatspreader and consequently the heatsink
 
Intel sure does like to put out new sockets. One can only speculate to why(hardware necessity? deal with mb manufactories? something else?)
 
Just a baseless thought, but are they perhaps going to solder the heatspreader+core for the '-E' chips only from now on? Say it ain't so!
 
I'm planning on getting an X79 board (the RIVE to be precise) for my new build, so I hope that Ivy-E processors remain on this board type so that I have the possibility of upgrading to one of these CPUs in the future. But, to be honest, given that I'm going for the i7-3930K - I don't think many new CPUs will beat the performance of this over the next 2 or so years.
