The First Intel Ivy Bridge CPU Clock Speeds and More
Intel's Ivy Bridge specifications and release windows for Q2 2012 and beyond.
Intel's Ivy Bridge will be the next "tick" in the company's tick-tock release strategy. This one will be fairly significant with its 3D tri-gate transistor technology introduction. While Intel hasn't revealed much about its Ivy Bridge release schedule, we're expecting them in time for Q2 2012.
Ivy Bridge is expected for Q2 of 2012, with most pinning the first chips to arrive in April. Like previous new releases, the initial introduction will be in the mainstream and mid-performance ranges first before Intel cranks speeds up to levels suitable for the high-end performance and enthusiast segments.

i wonder how close this will perform to the x79, since the spec dif between x79 and sandy doesn't justify the price difference(for me), also consoles aren't helping games improving.
good thing is this 22 nm will have PCI-e 3.0. whether or not its actually gonna utilize it yet is another story, but good to know its capable.
I wonder how much performance boost compared to the Sandy Bridges?
Let say 3570K vs 2500K or 2600K...
Not nice to see Intel dropping virtualization support on the overclockable parts. Not cool Intel!!!
cant say i ever bothered with virtual machines, in principle its a good idea but i dunno any 1 that actually uses it...
yes things like sandboxing apps is a very secure way of running your system. but most enthusiasts want peak performance not security.
