Ivy-E confirmed Q3 2013

[moonbogg]

I'm sure you all know this already and is ancient news. Google i7 4900.

Q3 2013 oh my god, utterly unexciting. For the mainstream there's Haswell, and for the workstation there's nothing that SB-E can do today.

on a related note, Ivy Bridge EP and EX are now officially announced
http://download.intel.com/newsroom/kits/idf/2012_fall/pdfs/IDF2012-DCSG_FactSheet.pdf

they are "expected to be in production in 2013" which is a rather vague EDA

If Ivy-E has good thermals, then I might consider it if they OC really well but I am not expecting it to be worth much cost over a sandy-E. Especially if a much cheaper Haswell destroys it in games.

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.

If intel wanted to wait until there was sufficient competition, then they would be able to wait much longer than Q3 2013 before anything would be able to compete with a 6 core sandy. I'm not hating on AMD, but its just true.

I wasn't aware that Google makes processors. I guess it makes sense given their massive cloud infrastructure.

Hasn't Google been made a verb already? I thought it had been.

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.

 

[aaksheytalwar]

Benches of ivy e? Expected gains?

For gaming and general use, that 920 will probably do fine until at least 2020.

I'm not sure what the point is of releasing the 3970X when people who buy it will just overclock anyway.

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!

 

[tynopik]

truly disappointing, was hoping for a jump straight to Haswell-E

Wrong...if they release a 8-core IB-E part, expect some VERY nice gains in MT apps. Look at the difference between SB-E and even IB now, add some extra cores and some applications will eat it up. Remains to be seen how it will stack up against Haswell, but 4 HW cores against 4 IB-E cores should be interesting.

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.

IB-E is 3 gen accodring to Intel:

IB-E is 3 gen accodring to Intel:

he's referring to the naming

my SB-E 3939K is a "3xxx" i7 despite being very much different from an i7 3770K Ivy Bridge...

and now it appears that IB-E CPUs will be labeled as 4900 i7s despite being Ivy generation and not Haswell

according to these tests: http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.php?showtopic=164465, peanut butter would be a candidate solely based on temps, however the fact that my i5 3570K doesn't smell delicious under load tells me its not so, so its probably so unflavored/scented lip balm that they're using

granted, if intel wanted to save money, they should have been using toothpaste...

 

[pantsaregood]

What I'm implying is that Intel's "generations" are named inconsistently.

Nehalem was first-generation.
Westmere, the die shrink of Nehalem, was still first generation.

Sandy Bridge is second-generation.
Sandy Bridge-E, an (essentially unchanged) implementation of Sandy Bridge on LGA 2011, is third-generation.
Ivy Bridge, a die-shrink of Sandy Bridge is third-generation.
Ivy Bridge-E, an (essentially unchanged) implementation of Ivy Bridge on LGA 2011, is fourth-generation.

what is this i dont even

AMD called Intel and asked to wait for them.

It's just disappointing because the things that benefit server chips immensely does little for PC. And Ivy Bridge E is based on the Xeon Ivy Bridge EP. They changed focus, now its all about low power.

AMD is probably a trivial worry compared to potential threat of not being in the mobile space. Oh, and perf/watt also translates into performance. Also for the mainstream LGA1150 Haswell, there are rumors that there might be a 105W chip. Extra TDP = Extra few % higher clocks

 

[AdamK47]

I'll have to wait then.

 

[Idontcare]

LOL, looks its like Intel managers went bonkers and gave their XEON platform to the Itanium management team (notorious for epic delays).

At this rate we can expect the haswell xeons circa 2018. Right around the time the next Itanium is finally released. :|
