Prunes Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I came across this article about the Ivy Bridge motherboards. Not huge amounts of detail, but it still tells us a bit of what to expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prunes Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I'd love to have a monitor with a resolution like that. Imagine how many details you would get! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 What exactly is Ivy Bridge? Is it a totally new chipset or is it a new line of sand bridge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) What exactly is Ivy Bridge? Is it a totally new chipset or is it a new line of sand bridge? Intel's 3rd generation i3/i5/i7 (new processor series). They are backwards compatability with current 1155 socket mobo, but there will be newer chipsets that support more ports and slots (native pci-e 3.0, usb 3.0, and etc).

N.E.A Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) It sure is nice to see them adding support for the current chipsets but I hope it wont be painful to update the BIOS of the current boards to be able to install the new CPU. Edit : BTW when it will be released in 2012 ?! in which quarter !!?! Edited September 20, 2011 by N.E.A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah XD this will definitely break the bank for me lol edit : but i think i am gonna grab AMD this time since i will be using multiple monitors. and to be honest I wanted to go with them ever since the 5800 ..

iskout Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 From the Anandtech chart, it looks like the newer chipsets won't support Sandy bridge. Anyone have any ideas on why? Just because of limitations of the architecture not supporting what the chipset does? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
