Intel Ivy Bridge will be postponed until next March

We have learned a lot about the news about Intel's next-generation processor 22nm Ivy Bridge and its supporting chipsets, but the release time has not been accurate. We have just guessed that it will be scheduled for the CES 2012 exhibition early next year. In fact, this may take a while.

According to foreign media reports, Intel has disclosed to its partners that the release time of Ivy Bridge is now scheduled for the second quarter of 2012, rather than the traditional first quarter. It is speculated that the most likely exact time is March-April, but desktop platforms and mobile platforms also appear at the same time.

This means that the Tick-Tock strategy proposed by Intel has once again slowed down.

The so-called Tick-Tock is a new manufacturing process and a new core architecture that is alternately upgraded year after year. It beats opponents and wins the market with endless speed. However, the release strategy of new products is determined comprehensively by many factors, and Intel cannot be strict. Really do an annual update. In fact, in the last two years, Intel has also been flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, the mainstream and entry-level products of the 45nm Nehalem architecture have been canceled before and 32nm Westmere has been launched.

There was also news that Ivy Bridge might be released ahead of schedule in the second half of this year to cope with the AMD APU and bulldozer attacks. However, it seems that Intel is not too anxious and is even prepared to slow down.
