Leaked Intel roadmap hints at Ivy Bridge's future

Considering how frequently Intel roadmaps leak out, you have to wonder which super-spy is smuggling all those diplomatic bags out of Santa Clara. The latest seems to contain detailed plans for 2012's Ivy Bridge desktop chips (and the sad news that the release has been pushed back to Q2). There are no big surprises in the documents, since the company just shrunk some Sandy Bridge CPUs in the wash. Going down from a 32nm to 22nm microarchitecture has managed to wring 19 percent better power usage, which enabled Chipzilla to concentrate on beefing up the range's integrated graphics performance, making it (reportedly) 60 percent faster than its bigger brother. The chipset will sit neatly atop your current Sandy Bridge motherboards, (You'll just need to flash your BIOS), which is good because we're stuck with the asthmatic, geriatric processor for at least another few months.

And the reason to "upgrade" to this shit would be?

Well if its out and your rocking a pentium 4 obviously to get ahead in the world?

I have decided there is not a processor in this world powerful enough for me :( NEED MOAR POWA!

I am selling this board and cpu and grabbing the i7-3770K though. I want to move up to an i7 so I can do some 8 thread folding among other things. Future use of PCI-E 3.0 at the end of the machines life is also a nice prospect in 4 years.

You mean an i7-3930K, right? :P

Meanwhile the PCI-E 4.0 standard has already been approved. Intel seems to be cock blocking the entire industry. Maybe if they just close their eyes and click their heels over at Intel, the USB 3.0, PCI-E 3.0 and 4.0 will disappear and they can go back to life as normal.
 
I need a new main box now. The old one's too cranky. Besides, Supra's mom's was never tight enough.
 
PCI-E 4 not scheduled for release until 2015 though.
 
And that's my gripe right there. This tech is available now but is being held back why? Oh, the Intel chipset, right. I can see how that would be impossible to implement for three or four more years.

So they implement it now, PCI-E 3.0 saturating devices OTHER than 5,000 dollar SSD's still wont be available for a few years so why worry about it?
 
It's not a worry, just a complaint that Intel seems hell bent on dragging their feet towards some meaningful changes in their cpus and chipsets.

I also only remember the FTC requiring Intel to support up to 3.0 on all their platforms (Later amended to exclude tablets). So until the next complaint/hearing the future of 4.0 on Intel at all might be still a question.
 
I hear ya Six. I think part of the problem is they really don't have serious competition to force their hand. Tech wise they are way ahead of anyone else. me being an AMD fan-boy that hurts to say, but it never the less is true. No one really touches the size of the market Intel has, nor do I see a major change in that in the near future.
