Ivy Bridge release date

[Tim182]

Assume we are lucky and the new Ivy Bridge processors are released on April 29 as anticipated, how long after will arrive at our local wholesalers?

 

[Duff-Man]

Should be around 2 weeks after initial release date.

Aim for June

 

[Tim182]

June?!? That's insane. I desperately need to upgrade but want to avoid getting a Sandy Bridge...

The listed price seems to be $225. How will that translate into the local wholesale price? At R8 to the $ + VAT it works out to R2052 but I'm sure they add some margin...

Retail price in South Africa will be around the R2800-R3000 mark

And wholesale, ie Rectron/Sahara etc...

Don't forget, you need an account with them to buy at supplier's prices.

I see alot of the z68 motherboards will have compatiblity for new ivy bridge. How well it will work in a sandy bridge motherboard is to be seen.

You lucky b*stard , I only have an account at Esquire

 

[Reaper84]

I hear IB is releasing today?

If it does, I am wanting to get a 3570K ASAP.

Does anyone know how long it took SB to get here after their Int launch?

 

[Ampha]

From what I have read Ivy Bridge is releasing at 12PM EST so it means around 7PM for us
Hopefully our suppliers will have them by the end of the week as I am waiting for a 3770K myself
