8 core processor in a X79 LGA2011 socket, hopefully before the Ivy Bridge release.

*Looks at desktop roadmap*

Hmmm...

Looks like Ivy Bridge with Panther Point in 2012 for me.

I know already I cant afford to go X79 when its released.

I'm holding out until Rockwell (second gen Haswell) is the Current, and upgrading from Nehalem Enthusiast platform to that!

2014 baby! think I can afford an upgrade then

Haswell coming 2013

yer rockwell (second gen of haswell, 22nm) is 2014 afaik.

or maybe its 18nm die, eitherway, I wont early adopt haswell.
Not like I had it bad on nehalem, was the best early adoption, only costly. but have decided for my next upgrade, i'll be more patient and cautious

So I am a little confused here. Ivy Bridge is a die shrink so does that mean it needs a new Chipset and Motherboard? Will it work on either P67 and X79?

The CPUs for X79 are going to be based on Sandy Bridge architecture?

gmeup · 1st April 2011, 6:39 PM

yes it is coming out with 32nm sb architecture but not the die shrink of 22nm which is due early next year.

ElBeasto · 1st April 2011, 10:47 PM

Wow, I just bought an 1155 board, 2600K CPU and 8GB of DDR3.

Now this new stuff comes to my attention.

I guess it's just the nature of PC tech and how quickly the new stuff comes out.

Its getting to the point I will have to sell my house just to keep up with this stuff. PC gear is moving so fast now its getting crazy.

Awesome fun tho isn't it?

ElBeasto · 2nd April 2011, 12:21 PM

Nothing's worse for the wallet than gear lust!

EDIT: At least X79 uses DDR3, something can be carted over to the new socket!
