Has anyone heard anything about the new Intel Ivy Bridge set of processors?

Like release date or some benchmarks? I was wondering because im fixing to start a build and if it will be coming soon i want to wait.
 
Intel's Ivy Bridge line of processors is not going to be released until 2012 from the information I have heard. AMD is going to be releasing their new line of Socket AM3+ processors likely around September 20th. (Hopefully AMD does not push the date back again.)

I would wait for AMD to release their new processors. We do not know if the new Socket AM3+ processors are going to beat Intel's Socket 1155 processors yet.
 
O ok, yea i have heard alot of possible good things about the new AMD Bulldozer most i believe are speculation but i am going to wait till it comes out before i buy anything.
 
From Intel's roadmap

Ivy Bridge is scheduled to be released (as a finished computer system) in the first half of 2012 (possibly in March or April according to the latest news). Also it will have USB 3.0 in the computer.

As far as benchmarks go, I know it'll be manufactured using a 22nm die shrink process. At this stage it looks like there are a number of things still unsettled about it.
 
i can't see ivy being a major upgrade from sandy, it is still on the same socket as sandy and all, so the tech must be very similar, the smaller die could just mean a more power efficient or higher clocked chip, with maybe a little better clock-to-clock, but not a substantial increase.

Well I can't completely agree with that. I know it's not to the same extent but Intel used the same socket from the P4 all the way up to the core2quad. The c2q has nearly 10x the performance of the P4.

It is made using 22nm rather than 32, meaning a greater transistor count, meaning more FLOPs, and therefore more power, as well as a different type of transistor, which Intel claim is much more powerful.

It will also mean lower power consumption (for the same performance) and less heat.

Go and compare the first Core CPU's on 65nm to the 45nm ones. The performance increase and efficiency was pretty impressive, and that is what you will be seeing here again, only probably much greater performance, and a hell of a lot lower power consumption because of the Tri-gate transistors. Ivy Bridge I can see being a massive step up

well it's the 6 core, and they might have upgraded it some, i know it isn't related to ivy, but the next intel cpus to be released.
