An Intel roadmap has surfaced which outlines the upper end of the company’s CPU product line through the end of 3rd Quarter 2013. The most interesting albeit also most confusing entry is the launch of Ivy Bridge-E processors in the quarter after the Haswell mainstream parts. So apparently the lack of high-performance CPU competition (looking at you AMD) has unwound Intel’s tick-tock-clock. Even so, latest rumors continue to assert that Sandy Bridge-E X79 chipset-based motherboards will be able to support Ivy Bridge-E with a BIOS update. Simply causing even more head scratching with the lack of native usb 3.0 and Thunderbolt in 2011. Apparently, no one platform will give us everything. Meh!
