Intel confirms Ivy Bridge processor delay

Manufacturing difficulties blamed, Ultrabooks will sufferLaptops News By Jools Whitehorn Monday at 09:42 UTC | Tell us what you think [ 0 comments ]

Tweet Ultrabooks hit by processor delay

Intel has confirmed that the delivery of its new Ivy Bridge processor which will power the next generation of Ultrabooks has been delayed.

We had already heard rumblings that shipments of the new chip could be knocked back, but now it has been confirmed by Intel's Sean Maloney.

The Ivy Bridge chips were expected as early as April, but when asked for a new release date by the Financial Times, Maloney said, "I think maybe it's June now."

22 tricky nanometers

Maloney suggested the delay was due to the upgraded manufacturing process used to produce the 22nm process chips (compared to the 32nm process Sandy Bridge chips).

The delay will have a knock-on effect on the production of the next generation of Ultrabooks which are set to rely upon Intel's Ivy Bridge mobile processor to deliver longer battery life and faster speeds than its predecessor, Sandy Bridge.

Intel Releases Seven Sandy Bridge CPUs

by Kristian Vättö on 1/30/2012 12:19:00 PM
Posted in CPUs , Intel , Sandy Bridge

Today, Intel has released seven new Sandy Bridge based CPUs: three Core i5 and four Celeron models. All the i5 SKUs are desktop models, whereas the Celeron SKUs are mobile: two standard voltage and two ultra-low voltage models. Below is a table of the new SKUs. 

Specifications of New Intel CPUs (1/30/2012)SKUCore/Thread CountFrequencyMax Turbo FrequencyL3 CacheTDPPriceCore i5-2550K4/43.4GHz3.8GHz6MB95W$225Core i5-2450P4/43.2GHz3.5GHz6MB95W$195Core i5-2380P4/43.1GHz3.4GHz6MB95W$177Celeron B8152/21.6GHzN/A2MB35W$86Celeron B7201/11.7GHzN/A1MB35W$70Celeron 8672/21.3GHzN/A2MB17W$134Celeron 7971/11.4GHzN/A1MB17W$107

You may be wondering what the P at the end of two Core i5 SKUs stands for. Intel has not updated their product database yet so we aren't 100% sure, but VR-Zone is reporting that it implies a GPU-less model. VR-Zone is also stating that the i5-2550K is GPU-less as well, which would be a step down from the i5-2500K that features Intel HD 3000 graphics.

This is a logical move as Intel must have a stack of chips with fully working cores and other parts, but the IGP isn't functional. On the other hand, it's good to keep in mind that a disabled IGP means no Quick Sync. Since the price and specification differences between the models with IGP and the models without is so small, we recommend buying a model with the graphics as you never know when you might want/need Quick Sync or more video outputs. The 100MHz increase in frequency isn't worth the loss of the IGP. 

As for the CPUs in general, i5-2550K is obviously the successor of i5-2500K. It has 100MHz (i.e. one CPU bin) higher frequencies than i5-2500K and is priced $9 higher. Similarly, i5-2450P and i5-2380P are successors of i5-2400 and i5-2320—the i5-2450P being $11 more expensive and i5-2380P being priced the same as its predecessor. Celeron B815 replaces B810 at the $86 price point; they share the same core specs while the GPU gets a bump in maximum clock from 950MHz to 1050MHz. Meanwhile, B720 succeeds B710 with 100MHz higher frequency and the same $70 price tag. Celeron 867 becomes the new high-end ULV Celeron by taking the place of 857 at the price point of $134 with 100MHz higher frequency, and 797 increases the frequency by 100MHz to 1.4GHz in the $107 category and replaces 787.

Part number is E88216-001 and seems to go for around $40. Kristian Vättö Reply RE: Hrmm by Metaluna on Monday, January 30, 2012 Also, it looks like a bolt-through mount (i.e. no pushpins). All the companies like Scythe who have produced giant tower heatsinks with plastic pushpins take note. Metaluna Reply RE: Hrmm by IntelUser2000 on Monday, January 30, 2012 My friend that got a i7 970 got it with the CPU purchase. IntelUser2000 Reply RE: Hrmm by Kristian Vättö on Monday, January 30, 2012 That specific model in the picture is only sold separately as it's for LGA 1156/1155. Your friend most likely has E75476-001, which is the stock cooler for LGA 1366 CPUs released after i7-980X (it was the first one to get it). They look almost identical though, only the motherboard connectors are a bit different :-) Kristian Vättö Reply RE: Hrmm by Rick83 on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 Having installed a bunch of Scythe coolers which use pushpins, I've never had a problem with them, and installation has usually been quite simple.
Don't see the reason for the complaints - unless you live a in a region prone to earthquakes. Rick83 Reply RE: Hrmm by Taft12 on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 Ever installed a plastic pushpin cooler multiple times?

(It's a trick question, the plastic will break, stretch or twist before you get the chance) Taft12 Reply Special Bin? by Piano Man on Monday, January 30, 2012 It'll be interesting to see if this 2550K is a special bin that will allow for higher OCs over the 2500k. Piano Man Reply RE: Special Bin? by Mr Perfect on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 Meh. I'm betting that Kristian is right, this is merely the We-Have-2500Ks-With-Dead-Graphics bin. Mr Perfect Reply In our country by Olbi on Monday, January 30, 2012 this Celerons are very expensive. It costs for ours paid 3.55 times more, where avarage man get for hand only 1200 zł , which in dollars is ~399$. I hate my GOV for this shit, what they do now.

Intel to launch 22nm Ivy Bridge processors on April 8

type="html">

Intel is reportedly preparing to launch the upcoming 22nm Ivy Bridge series of processors on or around April 8. The company is expected to release a total of 25 Ivy Bridge chips during this time frame, according to PC makers in Taiwan as reported by DigiTimes.

17 of the CPUs set for launch are desktop models while the remaining eight will be designated for notebook and ultrabook use. Desktop parts include quad-core Core i7-3770K, 3770, 3770S, 3770T, and Core i5-3570, 3550 and 3450 models with prices ranging from $184 to $332. The Core i5-3470T should be available in May for $184. Desktop chipsets on the agenda include Z77 ($48), H77 ($43), Z75 ($40) and B75 ($37), with Q77 ($44) and Q75 ($40) coming on May 13, the sources said.

Notebook processors Core i7-3920Qm, 3820QM and 3720QM will be ready in April for $1,096, $568 and $378, respectively. Other models including Core i5-3520M, 3360M, 3320M and ultrabook-specific Core i7-3667U and Core i5-3427U will be unveiled at a later date. Accompanying notebook chipsets HM77 ($48), UM77 ($48), HM76 ($43) and HM75 ($40) are coming in April. QS77 ($53) and QM77 ($48) are expected in May.

Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors were originally rumored for a March 2012 release, according to a tip from motherboard manufacturers but it seems that Intel (or board makers) weren’t able to meet that deadline. The chips are expected to offer a 20 percent overall performance boost over comparable Sandy Bridge CPUs on the processing side. A reworked internal GPU will produce 30 to 60 percent better overall graphics performance with DirectX 11 and OpenCL 1.1 support.a

HP Pavilion dv7 in addition to Intel Sandy Bridge processor shown

HP Support web pages had shown by accident two dv7 Pavilion laptop computer versions offering Intel Sandy Bridge processor on their site. Later the web link was removed.

Although the fresh HP Pavilion dv7 version links were removed, CNET got as display grab of the Intel Sandy Bridge processor version numbers for the Pavilion dv7 notebooks. One of the Pavilion dv7 version has 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7-2820QM processor shown with SC Turbo Speed of 3.4 GHz. Its the Intel Turbo Boost technology which raises and decreases the processor chip speed to enhance the efficiency and power utilization.

As the additional Pavilion dv7 version was listed with 2 i7-2630QM  GHz Intel Core with SC speed Turbo of 2.90 GHz. Intel Core i7-2820QM and Core i7-2630QM both have a thermal type power of 45 Watts rating. A number of the Pavilion dv7 notebook versions feature Super Speed USB 3.0 slot with the regular USB 2.0 too.

Number of Lenovo and Gateway laptop computer versions sporting Intel Sandy Bridge processors was identified last month. Hopefully to view few notebooks running Intel Sandy Bridge processors at the CES 2011 beginning next week.
