Intel Core "Haswell" Delayed till Computex 2013, No Show at CES
It looks like Intel's Core "Haswell" processor family will miss its anticipated March-May launch window, with the company choosing Computex 2013 as its next launch-pad. According to a leaked document intended for distributors and large retailers, desktop Core "Haswell" processors will launch only after May 27, before June 7, and retailers are told to hold off advertising the launch till June 2nd.
Among the products featuring in the new May 27 - June 7 launch window are the Core i7-4770K flagship product, i7-4770, i7-4770S, i7-4770T, i7-4765T, i5-4670K, i5-4670, i5-4670S, i5-4670T, i5-4570, i5-4570S, i5-4570T, i5-4430, and i5-4430S, all of which are quad-core parts. In addition, socket LGA1150 motherboards based on Intel Z87 (flagship, OC-ready), H87, Q87, Q85, and B85 chipsets, will be launched. In all likelihood, one piece of decoration the CES venue could miss, is the wall of LGA1150 motherboards, which is usually put up by Intel.
There could still be the odd unexpected LGA1150 motherboard backroom-disclosure by manufacturers, but those could be at early stages of development. Given that Intel plans to launch its platform towards the beginning of Computex, CeBIT (March 2013) is a more probable venue for Intel's wall of motherboards.
Moving on to the mobile processors front, the launch window is unchanged from that of the desktop parts, but fewer models will be launched, which are mostly high-end. Among the parts launched will be Core i7-4930MX, i7-4900MQ, i7-4800MQ, i7-4702HQ, i7-4702MQ, i7-4700HQ, and i7-4700MQ; accompanied by Intel QM87, HM87, and HM86 chipsets.

Funny, I saw the humor immediately. And I'm not that bright!
Man, is it just me or what? My nerves are getting shot from reading all this venom lately.
But of course I use a good gpu and ram along with the cpu.
I don't know much about the I7-920 but I have read a lot of good things about them.
:toast:
There just isn't any need for anything more powerful.
Bare in mind there is still a ton of businesses who refuse to upgrade to XP since they are using still functional decades old software specifically built for the business.
Ony time they 'may' consdier is when some employee decides to plug in their iPod into one of the PCs which gets the rest of them infected with some virus which OSX does not get infected by.
I'm still loving my 2500K.

8core Glad i invested in x79
Looking over the new features in socket 2011, I'm starting to put together a budget on a kick ass new build. I think I'll make the jump in 2013 and probably sustain the 2011 socket for a few years before making another jump.
There will be a few developers that will specifically target the PC platform for one or two of their releases, but as for the rest - they dont care.
the console community will always brag about how they never need to upgrade to new hardware to play the latest releases but they dont understand that to achieve that they have bought the developers down to 'their level' and even though they dont need to upgrade, the development of games and the ways they are developed and marketed at the audience has suffered exponentially and we are all stuck in a loop where even a mid range PC from 3 years back can run most of todays games quite efficiently apart from those few that were developed specifically for the PC from the ground up like BF3.
You want game driven hardware sales like the good old days of 95'-08'? then kickstart your own console platform and use the latest tech. Sony or Microsoft will never conform to such high standards as they have to keep things to a budget and most importantly affordable to the masses
Intel have so many models on the market they can wait until summer 2014 easy.
2500k, 2550k, 2600k, 2700k, 3570k, 3770k, 3820, 3930k, 3960X, 3970X are more than enough for everything now and for two years. Everything this is for 80% of user absolutely OK and these are top models if you look performance, only in peoples mind they need MORE, MORE and every upgrade is only 5-10-15%. Now what 4 models Haswell and soon 2-3 models IB-E. I don't count on other weaker models and people still use i7-920, i7-930, i7-940, i7-950, i7-960, i7-970, i7-980X powerfull like strongest AMD.
Intel can sleep tweo years easy and delay is nothing bad only chance for better CPU.
If you need CPU more than 3 months before next generation no reason to wait. Only if your is weak for what you need. Weak Intel that is now... for what weak...???
I knew it, that 6core limit rumor was one big bull..
Guess i'll skip Haswell (although that new architecture info looks juicy) and go for IB-E 8core :D:D
:twitch:
Enough smart people to buy Rampage 4 Extreme and 3930K before 15 months will pass excellent.
Now they will sell 3930k and cross on 8cores. Same money like people every year invest in SB +Z68 than IB + Z77 if they buy high end motherboards. Not same but not much bigger.
Memory is guilty because i choose Z77. Bad options and models in Serbia and expensive Quad Channel.
With some Quad 1866 4x4 Dominator Platinum in our retailer shops I would choose X79.
Never mind I wait to EVGA stand up from motherboard knock down and than IO will buy Haswell E 8 core and their mobo.
Because in this situation I must bought ASUS and they never apologize me for 5 months fight because their cards and at the end their return me money for in service confirmed fault cards.
This will be real fight 8cores vs 8 cores 3980X vs FX8350.
Single and multi tread.
