Talks of a delay in the launch of Intel's Ivy Bridge platform, may actually be corroboration of earlier reports.
We reported, as early as May, that whilst best estimates were placing the Ivy Bridge launch to take place in 1H 2012, information apparently passed down from Intel to its partners indicated that the chip giant, had pencilled in Q2 - specifically, between March and April, 2012 - to unleash Ivy Bridge.
New reports appear to suggest the same - indicating that the desktop Ivy Bridge platform is expected to see the light of day in March, followed by the mobile platform in April. What's not apparent, is whether there's any truth in murmurings suggesting that this anticipated release schedule, may also be pushed out of the ballpark.
We're told that the reasons for the 'delay' range from perceived fluctuation in demand, to Intel holding back on bringing 22nm production capabilities to Fab 24.
