I'm getting really confused between things like Haswell, Broadwell (did make that one up?) Sandy E and Ivy E! Which one is out this year on which socket and which socket is being discontinued and is a new socket or chipset being released?

Thanks!
 
Sandy Bridge Architecture
  • 32nm - Sandy Bridge - LGA 1155 (mid end)- Released Jan 2011
  • 32nm - Sandy Bridge E - LGA 2011 (high end) - Released Nov 2011
  • 22nm - Ivy Bridge - LGA 1155 (mid end) - Released Apr 2012
  • 22nm - Ivy Bridge E - LGA 2011 (high end) - Expected release some time in 2013
Haswell Architecture
  • 22nm - Haswell - LGA 1150 (replacing LGA 1155) - Expected release some time in 2013
  • 14nm - Broadwell - LGA 1150 - Expected release 2014

Pretty much in the list of architectures. SB-E and IB-E is pretty much the same as SB and IB but with more cores and features. LGA 1155 will be replaced by LGA 1150 this year when Haswell hits the market, as for LGA 2011, I have no idea if Intel will stick with it but I have a feeling it will be replaced if they ever do a Haswell E/Broadwell E.

Remember also broadwell is rumored to be bga only so no swappable sockets, reports suggest the haswell may be the last true system builder friendly architecture

I wouldn't be surprised If neither of these saw the light of day the way Intel are these days tbh....

Only the lower end side is. Mid -> Enthusiast should stay as swapable socket. Intel said that there will still be swapable CPUs for the foreseeable future.
 
Thought I'd dig this thread out to ask my next question! When gaming, which will be competitive for longest out of an 8320 on 2011, 9320 on 2011 or a 4770k on 1150? I like my cpus to last me a few years:)

Think it is a little typo there.
i7-3820
i7-3930

One can only imagine that the 4770k would last longer

Think many would argue it's the 3930K.
In games that can't use more than 4 cores, the IPC advantage of the 4770k would be better than the 3930k, but when more cores get involved, the tables would turn.

This, its kinda of like E8400 vs Q6600 again, sure the C2D was faster at the time but it was the C2Q systems that lasted the longest before needing an upgrade.
 
4820k I expect to be a fully unlocked quad core with a slightly higher ipc then current ivy chips and an incredibly good imc.

Haswell-E is seemingly going to be a socket 2011 though with a different chipset to x79 (x99?) Probably to support ddr4. Will be in no way compatible with current and future x79 based chips.
 
It sort of leaves you in a bit of a pickle, some would like to upgrade now, but with Haswell round the corner, they are putting it off.

I am guessing we won't be seeing any 6 core Haswell, nor will we be seeing enthusiast motherboards such a Asus Maximus Gene's or the like straight away?

So some may well be waiting months for a CPU with roughly 10% improvement that may not be utilized in comparison to current top end offerings, then for another few months as motherboard manufacturers sell, iron out bugs, update bios, and get more competitive upon benchmarks being set by their motherboards?

Any idea of pricing, what the top Haswell CPU's will be and cost?

New games may utilize more cores, possible late news for Haswell if there are only 4 cores, but making Socket 2011 still viable, but wait, that is also being updated,next year!

I have been putting off a microATX Z77 build for months due to news of Haswell, but still know very little of what to expect, and how long it will be before we have recommended CPU's and motherboards within the forums and magazines to compare to the likes of the Maximus Gene V with a i7-3770K/i5-3570K.

Can't work out if it is worth the wait, or if I should spend money on a budget/i5 or Gene/i7 combo.
 
As an aside can someone explain the naming convention for Intel CPUs for me please. I get the i3/5/7 bit but struggle to work out the significance of the extended ID, i7-3770K/i5-3570K etc.

Let the digits be i3/5/7-ABCD

A = Generation. The original i series such as the i7-920 doesn't have this since it's the first series though. Sandy Brigde is the second series hence the i*-2***, and IB as i*-3***, etc.

BC is the market it's aimed at. I guess from the naming so far, 10-30 is for the low end, 30-60 is for mid end, and 60+ is for the high end.

D is just a plain 0. Just to make the overall number sound bigger. Since "bigger is better" :p.

K and X on the end usually denotes it's an extreme version of the i series, but it's usually because they are easier to overclock, or the CPU with the fastest speed of it's generation.

S and T are power saving ones, usually with lower stock speeds but same turbo speed as it's normal counterpart.

Well, that's my take on the naming convention anyway. I'm having a harder time trying to undersand AMD's FX/A naming convention, I can't instantly tell what generation they belong too :p.
