Despite an introduction at the beginning of april allows Intel to the massive supply of Ivy Bridge chips out until after June, claims a Taiwanese site that this is based on sources at notebookmakers. The Sandy Bridge-stocks would still be too large.
After the introduction of the beginning of april, there comes only a small amount of Ivy Bridge processors available, claims Digitimes from sources in laptopproducenten heard of them. The manufacturers would have their own introductieschema as a result of the delay adjusted. Ivy Bridge the new processors of Intel, that the current Sandy Bridge architecture should follow.
The reason of the delay would be that there are still large inventories of Sandy Bridge processors, both in the large laptopfabrikanten as Intel itself. The later start of the massalevering of Ivy Bridge, would all of the parties air to the existing stocks.
Incidentally, draws Digitimes that the notebookmakers to deal with bad times in the first three quarters of 2012, because they expect that consumers only after the release of Windows 8 massive new systems purchase. The release of Microsoft only after september. Manufacturers of usb 3.0 chips, such as the Taiwanese companies Renesas, ASMedia and Etron, would benefit from the delay; usb 3.0 is a standard part of the 7-series chipsets are Ivy Bridge.
