The introduction of the new generation of Ivy Bridge processors from chip maker Intel, which initially, at the beginning of this year would be released, it was already postponed until april. Meanwhile, it appears a further delay until June is plausible.
According to Sean Maloney, head of Sales and Marketing Group of Intel, is the introduction of Ivy Bridge delayed until June, this year. That would be Ivy Bridge, an additional delay of eight to ten weeks to rise, as told Maloney to The Financial Times. To which processors to exactly is unclear, however, mobile processors, according to rumors, the most likely to delay.
The 22nm processors, codenamed Ivy Bridge, are so-called that shrink of the current generation of 32nm-Sandy Bridge processors, which, however, especially the built-in gpu is considerably improved. The chips were originally planned for a release in January, but that was postponed because of computer manufacturers. Who stayed, inter alia, because of problems with Intel’s Sandy Bridge chipset, with unsold inventories down. To give them the opportunity to give particular stocks laptops to sell, was Ivy Bridge to april postponed.
According to Maloney, would the delay not for the sake of laptopfabrikanten, but due to the complexity of the 22nm manufacturing process. Formal means Intel, incidentally, to a introduction in the second quarter of 2012; both april and June fall therein.
