Entry-level in June

According to the latest drop in the rumour puddle over at Digitimes, Intel is set to release its next 8-series chipset in April 2013.

According to Digitimes' industry sources, Intel plans to relears performance and mainstream Z87 and H87 chipsets in April 2013. These socket LGA1150 motherboards will replace the existing Z77, Z75 and H77 chipsets with LGA1155 socket and will pave the way for entry-level H81 chipset scheduled for June 2013.

The 22nm socket 1150 Haswell CPUs are expected aaround the same time so motherboard manufacturers expect great interes for the new 8-series chipset simply due to the fact that new socket is not backward compatible. Ivy Bridge is expected to have its peak in the Q4 2012.

As always, take these rumours with a grain of salt as schedules tend to change.

having a Sandy bridge system myself I most likely gonna skip the whole Haswell + rockwell series, heading to skylake/skymont CPU.

me also will skip haswell...

hello..what is the budget mobo for i3770k ???
last time Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 is the best...but now not selling anymore

this one good ??

8.0 After spending a week with the ASRock Z77 Extreme9, I have mixed feelings about it, when compared to other Z77 boards on the market. Thanks to a PLX PCI-Express bridge chip, the board enables the use of additional PCI-Express slots, a great feature for users who need support for three or more video cards. However, the oversight there is that the board claims to support quad-card SLI, but doesn't include a bridge to be able to do so, and the claims of five PCIe 3.0 slots are questionable to me. I found several PCI-Express 2.0 switch chips on the board, which simply aren't capable of PCIe 3.0 connectivity. I'm working on getting a bunch of PCI-Express 3.0 graphics cards, to further investigate this issue, but with my sample being and "Engineering Sample", this issue should be rectified with retail versions.
Power consumption was pretty good, and in general 3D performance was good too, but general computing performance seems to be on the low side. Honestly this wasn't something that appeared very obvious under normal usage for me, so while it sounds to be a big thing, it really isn't. Storage performance over all interfaces was very good, and truly, the biggest benefit of the ASRock Extreme9 just isn't shown in any type of testing, unless you populate all the PCIe slots.
Adding support for both quad-SLI and quad-Crossfire to a platform that usually only supports two or three cards with PCIe 3.0 connectivity is pretty amazing in and of itself, and if you want to run that many cards with Ivy Bridge CPUs, your options are pretty limited.
The whole package that the ASRock Z77 Extreme9 delivers is not bad. It's got great aesthetic design, the software is great, the overclocking is really really good, but I really feel that it's a bit overpriced at the moment. Of course, ASRock could pull off some magic and release a BIOS that fixes the performance issues, and then they'd have one killer product on their hands!

Lol just bought new motherboard P8B75-M LE. Suppose get H77M-LE got Lucidlogix MVP. But no stock. Is it LucidLogix MVP is that great ?

how much heat does 3570k produce when OC compare to 2500k ?
since most review are base on europe country temp.OC around 4.2ghz on 2500k vs 3570k on 4.0ghz

Thanks

take it 3570K 4GHz = 2500K 4.2GHz
the IB runs 10-20C hotter than its equivalent SB

Final question , what about idle temp ? for both ? using stock cooler ?

No news of new ivy bridge pentium?

3570K runs 5-7C hotter than 2500K on idle.

Taking 2600K HT off = 2500K (although not equal)

Other simple stuffs you might wanna just google out yourself.
