Oh good, only a gen behind now then
2 gens behind by the time you can actually buy SR..
..still, the gap won't be as big when it was Derpdozer vs 2500k
Not quite but close enough, yes.
Q1 2014, yes 'IF' the IPC is up 30% and running @ 4Ghz it will be like a 2500K running at 3.8Ghz with twice the number of cores.
If its on the shelf for £170 - ~£200 the £450 Intel 6 Core will look silly and completely unjustified, it may actually come down to a level where more people can afford it.
Fingers crossed.

Intel have only come 5% - 10-% more performance since Sandybridge..
If SR had similar IPS and 8 cores it would be a monster, especially if priced competitively. I would ditch my 3960X in a second lol

Almost closer to three, as we'll be edging towards Haswells successor
We're all of course assuming that 30% figure means IPC, it's probably a specific scenario, and something else.

Three generations with hardly any performance improvements since Sandybridge and more heat issues. AMD can make up a lot of ground with SR for sure.
Maybe Intel are deliberately dragging their feet to milk us, and will unleash a beast with Broadwell if they need to.. Who knows..

Not that I believe AMD will price it that cheap, they thought they were onto a winner with the FX8150 and priced it at 250 quid.
With a bit of luck they have learnt a hard lesson from that, AMD don't have the brand pull Intel enjoy, even if there is nothing to chose between them in single threaded while they get monsterd in multithreaded....
I think to be real the 8 core will be a bit cheaper than the 4770K and the 6 core a bit cheaper than the 4570K, so £180 / £220 later falling to £160 / £190 ?

Don't know really.
Think SR will be closer to lynfield IPC, don't think that whole 30% will be exactly what we think it is.
Even still, it'll be a very good CPU, just hope it comes out soon.

How does Lynfield compare to Bloomfield? as Bloomfield seems to have a higher IPC than a lot of people (including myself) thought.

I count Sandybridge and Ivybridge as one gen, Haswell and Broadwell as another gen, and Skylake and Skymont as another gen. Because the second in each series is essentially a refresh of the first. Nothing much new going on.

Lynfield is to Bloomfield what Sandybridge is to SB-E.
IPC hasn't moved on massively from Bloomfield. It's just bloomfield came out in 2008, so its instruction sets aren't quite as fleshed out as Sandy, doesn't clock as high, hot/power hungry etc.

220Watt.. 5.0Ghz, and probably still runs cooler than Haswell
So looking at the Haswell reviews, it's possible Steamroller could come within 10-20% of Haswells IPC performance (depending on what it's being used for)
Which would be acceptable considering the (hopefully) lower price point.
..a 6 or 8 core Steamroller @4.5Ghz with that sort of single core IPC improvement would be most welcome and at least put AMD back in the game.
