Report: Intel Sandy Bridge-E on November 15th by VR-Zone.com
Despite
all the troubles Intel has had with Sandy Bridge-E and the X79 chipset, DonanimHaber reports that it is set to release as early as November. The Platform Launch is specified as Weeks 46-47, which covers November 14th to November 27th. However DonanimHaber inisist that the final release date is November 15th.
The three SKUs are Core i7 3820, Core i7 3930K and Core i7 3960X,
priced at $294, $583 and $999 respectively. The new flagship, Core i7 3960X, is expected to be
15% faster than the Core i7 990X on average. However, the 3960X is much faster in applications that rely heavily on memory bandwidth (thanks to X79's quad-channel memory) or AVX.
Meanwhile, AMD's Bulldozer continues to slip. What was once expected to be a 2 quarters lead with Bulldozer expected to release in June and Sandy Bridge-E in end 2011, is now likely to be a couple of months, at most.
