Ivy Bridge-E will not simply be a Xeon core with several components disabled &#8211; it&#8217;ll be on its own die. Whereas Sandy Bridge-E processors shared the same silicon and assembly lines as their Xeon counterparts, Ivy Bridge-E will be using its own designs and dies, allowing Intel to drop prices lower because they&#8217;re not taking any losses on each chip sold.<\/p>\n<p>This will also mean that the extra disabled hardware on the chip won&#8217;t take up extra space that could be used to better transfer heat onto the integrated heat spreader, lowering the need for extreme cooling when overclocking.<\/p>\n<p>Intel has also had a lot of experience with the 22nm process and Ivy Bridge-E processors could be fantastic overclockers right out of the gate.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Minor performance boost, better price<\/h3>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\"><table class=\"table\" width=\"588\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><strong>i7-3970X<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><strong>i7-4960X<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><strong>i7-3960X<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><strong>i7-4930K<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><strong>i7-3930K<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><strong>i7-4820K<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><strong>i7-3820<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong> Clock speed <\/strong><\/td>\n<td>3.7GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.6GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.5GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.4GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.2GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.7GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.6GHz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong> Turbo speed<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>4.0GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.7GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.9GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.6GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.8GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.9GHz<\/td>\n<td>3.8GHz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong> Core count<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong> Thread count<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong> L3 cache<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>15MB<\/td>\n<td>15MB<\/td>\n<td>15MB<\/td>\n<td>12MB<\/td>\n<td>12MB<\/td>\n<td>10MB<\/td>\n<td>10MB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong> TDP<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>150W<\/td>\n<td>130W<\/td>\n<td>130W<\/td>\n<td>130W<\/td>\n<td>130W<\/td>\n<td>130W<\/td>\n<td>130W<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong> RRP (USD)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$1059<\/td>\n<td>990<\/td>\n<td>1059<\/td>\n<td>555<\/td>\n<td>594<\/td>\n<td>310<\/td>\n<td>305<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Ivy Bridge-E will replace Sandy Bridge-E at the same or slightly lower price points and will work on current LGA2011 motherboards with a BIOS update.<\/p>\n<p>The lineup will debut with a low-end K-series processor.
