2 years is a long time, but hasn't intel delayed IB, whether its due to yield, or because they don't need to release (and want to keep selling old stock) who knows.

 

Dout it's a yield issue just way to much stock of sandy

2 years is a massive advantage is guess intel will be on to something else before they release gate

 

so intel has the best manufacturing and biggest R&D budget thus gets the premium dollars. rinse and repeat
As long as they keep up the pace - nobody big enough wants to put up the money to challenge that.
