I'm sure you all know this already and is ancient news. Google i7 4900.
I'm actually kind of surprised that it is going to be that late.
IMO we're seeing the direct result of AMD's lack of competitiveness in the higher-end market. If there was a great AMD chip upcoming, we wouldn't be waiting another year for Ivy-E.

I wasn't aware that Google makes processors. I guess it makes sense given their massive cloud infrastructure.
I wonder if by Q3 2013 my i7 920 will show it's age. I sincerely doubt it... CS:GO runs great, SC2, and all of my work software.
Benches of ivy e? Expected gains?
For all practical purposes, 0%.
Ivy Bridge-E is just another implementation of Ivy Bridge. It will be "improved" in that it has more PCI-E lanes and support for quad-channel RAM.
Also, hooray for Intel continuing to break naming conventions. Haswell is fourth generation? Well, so is IB-E!

IB-E is 3 gen accodring to Intel:
Hope they have solder under the lid instead of whatever they're using in there currently. Maybe it's peanut butter. Maybe it's leprechaun blood. Whatever it is, it sucks ass.
