intel processor roadmap half of 2012

It 'appeared online that the roadmap starring next to 22NM production process with which they will be produced the next Sandy Bridge CPU-E Ivy Bridge and processors that Intel plans to release the first half of 2012.

In detail, Intel processor roadmap plans to release in Q4 2011, the Sandy Bridge version-and high-end that apparently will include high-performance models P1 and P2 to be mid-range in direct competition with the Core i7 models 990X and 2600. In this context you will see the first x79 platforms that will ensure full support for two PCI-Express x16 slot for graphics cards, the new interface, quad-channel DDR3, higher capacity and availability of cache storage solution more flexible. The x79 chipset presumably will include a SATA controller 6Gbps to 10 ports.
Intel confirms once again the strategy Tic-Toc, which is the roadmap will bring to light the transition to a Die Shrink 22NM Sandy Bridge to be named Ivy Bridge, scheduled for the first half of 2012. The chip will be fully compatible with existing platforms and LGA1155 "Cougar Point" P67, H67, H61, Z68, even if the cards based on the recent A-7-series chipset "Panther Points" will have a new IDE interface and up to three screens running simultaneously and an integrated USB 3.0 controller.

The next Intel CPU to 22 nm Ivy Bridge will feature a new dual-channel DDR3 memory controller with official support for DDR3 memory at 1600 MHz, the usual hub PCI-Express 2.0 x16, 2.0 Turbo, a new graphics core with DirectX support 11, and TDP ratings ranging from 35W and 95W.

Of course not Mention was made of prices, as these chips have another year to go before it leaves and anything can happen. That said, what we know is that they are the successors of the current Sandy Bridge Core i5 and i7 for mainstream and performance sectors.
