CPU Intel to skip Ivy-e and go straight to Haswell-e?

I was speaking to a friend who works for a rival of Intel (in the mobile market) and we were discussing the new haswell releases. I expressed my surprise that ivy-e hadn't been released, and was informed that Intel were actually going straight to Haswell-e. Started looking around for articles to back this up and many seem to suggest a haswell-e q4 2013 or q1 2014 release, which wouldn't leave room for an ivy-e release.

Take the above with a pinch of salt of course, but what do you guys think?

 

According to this...

IVB-E will be coming out, and on the plus side will be using solder so may overclock better.

 

In response to the title: No.

 

Fair enough bindi, I did say take with salt!

 

I did read an article a while ago that mentioned skipping Ivy-E but plenty has been written since to suggest otherwise. I think Bindi's answer is plenty clear enough, too.

 

I hope you understand I can't elaborate.

 

Hurrah for solder is what I say lets hope we see some decent clocking chips (hopefully without the power consumption of the SB-E hex cores).

 

Of course you *can*... you just not going to because you'll be beaten mercilessly by your employers... and/or fired...

Reading between the lines... IB-E is just around the corner... [which in my head = sometime in the next 3-6 months]

 

I am thinking the same, which is why I am holding off buying the waterblocks for my motherboard as I am waiting to see what the Rampage V Extreme is like, if/when it gets released but will have to wait and see.

 

The 'cooks' are 'brewing' something 'tasty'.



EDIT: (That's still a motherboard reference, not drugs)

 

IIRC IB-E is slated for September 2013 release

 

Is there a difference?

 

Our motherboards are RoHS compliant. Try and smoke one if you want, but it's not like it used to be.

 

Waterblocks already on the R5E please!!!!!!

 

We'll only ever do hybrid 'sinks, we can't only sell a waterblock. As such, all heatsinks require a specific level of thermal mass in order to be properly air cooled. With the limited space available for VRMs on the LGA2011, a hybrid 'sink is very difficult imo.

That said, I'm not aware at all what RD are doing on any future projects. I only get shown once it's done. Maybe they solve it and go hybrid, I dunno. EK will undoubtedly make a kit though.

 

Hybrid is what I meant lol my bad.

I hope they do manage it though with a barb thread rather than pre fitted barbs, so I can choose the tube size I want to use rather than being limited to one size.

 

I thought most recent hybrid boards had standard g1/4 holes to fit a barb of your choice?

 

Yes they do. Every hybrid heatsink we do from now on will only feature G1/4s. It'll be fun to watch the rest of the field copy our design LOL

 

Seems the first review has gone live.

Seems it's a complete waste of time for anyone who already has a 3930k/60x/70x or anyone using a 4Ghz+ X58 setup.

I will be sticking with my 3930k.

 

What a let down :-(
