Ivy Bridge is a go. Officially.

[Chris Harlan]

[Andrew Richards] “[Chris Harlan] “I thought we knew with Sandy Bridge, but this Ivy Bridge release is so close on the heels, that there might be a bit of hope.”

Sandy Bridge launched over a year ago. It is only the Sandy Bridge E5 Xeon lineup that launched last month. “

Yes, of course. We’re talking about Xeons. What else would we be talking about with Mac Pros?

[Andrew Richards] “Intel ships their high-volume Core series chips much earlier than it does Xeons utilizing the same manufacturing process. Intel’s roadmap for the Xeon only has it getting the Ivy Bridge treatment in 2013.”

That’s what I thought, too. But the news is all over the place today about an Ivy Bridge Xeon release in June.

Ah – Ok. got you – sooo the intended betrothed Xeon is sitting out there right now. And no MacPro coming out to dance. I lose track of the cpu stuff very easily.

Maybe the COW chewed up my href’d link. Here it is, in its unadulterated glory:

And just in case, unparsed:

EDIT: good grief, nothing will let the link paste properly. HP sucks at the Internet.

[Andrew Richards] “[Phil Hoppes] “Sandy Bridge 8 core Xenon CPU’s are already out. I can buy them today.”

Parts, yes. Complete system from HP, ships in May.

And, apparently, Ivy Bridge Xeons are supposed to ship in June.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “sooo the intended betrothed Xeon is sitting out there right now. And no MacPro coming out to dance”

HP isn’t going to have Z820s in customer’s hands prior to May, if the dates on their product pages are any indication. The CPUs are out there, you can buy them as parts, but the OEMs are only now almost shipping workstations built around them.

I think it’s safe to say that this is all a huge mess?

You’ve heard of Google, right?

But try this:

[Chris Harlan] “And, apparently, Ivy Bridge Xeons are supposed to ship in June.”

Those are the E3 series. Sandy Bridge E3 has been out for a year. The E5 series is what would go into a Mac Pro or any other dual CPU box. Those will be a while…
