New CPUs coming?

Last edited:
Sandy Bridge E is coming out at the end of the year. Ivy Bridge is most likely to be out at the beginning of next year(1H 2012).

Bulldozer and Llano are out next month.
 
Well I will be sticking to Intel, what's coming after Ivy Bridge:), as I don't see a need to move from i5 750 yet:eek:
 
The socket 1155 Intel Panther Point chipsets for Ivy Bridge are being released in 1H 2012 according to an article this month on Anandtech:

The leaked Intel roadmaps from early last month show a H1 2012 release for Ivy Bridge:

Here is another recent article from Anandtech which is less than a week old:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4333/intels-silvermont-a-new-atom-architecture

From the article:

"With 22nm debuting in Ivy Bridge at the end of this year (with availability sometime in 1H 2012)"

This means it will be actually early next year when you can buy an Ivy Bridge desktop CPU.

With Sandy Bridge E debuting at the end of the year don't expect Ivy Bridge to be as big an improvement in IPC as the latter is a tick. An Intel tick is more to test a new process. Sandy Bridge is a tock which means a major architectural change.

The major improvements in the 22NM finfets against the existing Intel bulk 32NM planar transistors are at low voltage but not as much at the higher voltages which desktop processors run at(1V and above). Ivy Bridge is going to have an enhanced IGP and probably slightly more cache and the 22NM process will keep the die size down.

Sandy Bridge E is probably going to have better IPC as it is the second part of the tock and has a quad channel controller and probably larger caches too. It is also going to be the basis of the custom Xeon processors AFAIK.

Regarding Bulldozer I would wait until it is released TBH. There will be plenty of reviews the OP can read and of course forum members are also going to but the processors themselves. They will of course post their views on the CPU too.

With the AMD CPUs you will find out next month! :p

The CPUs have not been released yet and there have been no reliable independent reviews of their performance ATM.

Above quote is sensible.

bulldozer won't be as fast as current intel sandybridge, AMD are seriously lagging behind intel.

Above quote is silly, unless of course you found out earlier that your psychic powers are in fact real ;)
Of course could be true but only a few people know this at the min.

thats a something a bit risky to say? it was only a few years ago intel were algging behind amd, but i do hope BD isnt a complete fail and it give good price/performance like the phenoms have but no one knows yet :P

cant remember the last time intel lagged behind AMD, they screwed up once with the P4, apart from that they have been ahead.
