Intel Core i7-4000 Release is Scheduled for Q3’13

Intel has just unveiled its current year release plans and made a specific focus on Intel Core i7-4000 processor series. According to Intel, the new line of products, known also as Intel Ivy Bridge-E, is going to hit the market in Q3’13. Their launch will replace the Sandy-Bridge-E series – Intel Core i7-3000. The new-comers will support Socket LGA2011 CPU sockets, as well as Intel X79 chipset. This is called to dramatically facilitate the updating process of the current systems.

The first three models to appear in the market will be Intel Core i7-4960X, Intel Core i7-4930K, and Intel Core i7-4820K. They will all be delivered with an unlocked multiplier. The first two models are known to have six physical and twelve virtual processor cores.

The nominal frequency of Intel Core i7-4960X equals to 3.6 GHz and the dynamic frequency might achieve 4.0 GHz index. This processor will be equipped with 15 MB of cache-memory. Its cost will fluctuate within the measures of $1000. In its turn, the nominal frequency of Intel Core i7-4930K equals to 3.4 GHz, while its dynamic index might achieve 3.9 GHz. Its inventory will house 12 MB of cache-memory.

To continue, the less efficient Intel Core i7-4820K accommodates four physical and eight virtual processor cores. Its frequency template looks the following way: 3.7 GHz (nominal) and 3.9 GHz (dynamic). The volume of cache-memory equals to 10 MB.

As seen for the Intel’s roadmap, Q4’13 is going to be marked by the release of more processor models. However, already in 2014 the series might be replaced by a more advanced lineup, based on Intel Haswell micro-architecture.
