Ivy Bridge delayed

It's been known that they are hoping for a March / April '12 release for 3 months and rumoured for at least 6 months. You're a bit late.

Also, I'd expect it to slip further.
 
I don't really understand why Intel are bothering with SB-E if they're going to be releasing Ivy just a couple of months later. Wont Ivy just blow sandy out of the water?

Where do they come up with the names for these prototypes?

a quick google gave me this

There is a pattern with recent desktop processors. Since Core 2 all quad-core desktop processors tend to end in "field" (e.g. Kentsfield, Bloomfield, Lynnfield) and most desktop dual-cores end in "dale" (e.g. Wolfdale, Allendale, Clarksdale), with the exception of Arrandale, a mobile processor codename for the mobile i3/i5/i7s. Platforms consisting of a CPU plus a Southbridge end in "trail" (e.g. Bone Trail, Skull Trail, Pine Trail). Server processors for two sockets now end in "town" (e.g. Harpertown, Gainestown, Gulftown), while server processors for four or more sockets end in "ton" (Tigerton, Dunnington, Beckton).

All evidence points to it either having identical or close to identical performance on a clock for clock basis with Sandy Bridge. What you'll see are higher base clocks and lower TDPs.

Maybe a 6 core, maybe more OC'ing head room ... but no-one will know for a while. Personally I very much doubt if there'll be a hexacore, as it'd cannibalise way too many sales from the 2011 platform.
 
NOT another 15 page muti- thousand thread about when is it going to be out and how fast it might (not) be... Please !!
