Intel Ivy Bridge furhter delayed to Q2 2012 ?
There are lots of rumors floating on the web right now, AMD's Bulldozer processors might be launched in August/September which is a delay.
But also Intel's upcoming Ivy BVridge processors seem to be pushed back towards Q2 2012 according to a leaked Intel roadmap.
One reason for this delay could be that Intel needs more time to ramp up its 22nm Tri-Gate production as the company doesn't have enough fabs to keep up with the demand of Ivy Bridge CPUs. Intel's Ivy Bridge processors are a die 22nm shrink of the Sandy Bridge core and feature the same architecture with a few minor tweaks and an improved graphics core.
The on-die GPU will receive DirectX 11 support as well as 30% more EUs than the Sandy Bridge graphics core. Other CPU features include better AVX performance, an integrated PCI Express 3.0 controller as well as native USB 3.0 support thanks to the Panther Point chipsets.
PCI Express 3.0 should double the bandwidth available for add-in cards from 500MB/s per lane to 1GB/s per lane. Click on the thumbnails.
