If you are starting to feel that your Sandy Bridge-E processor just does not cut it anymore, then fret not for Intel will have you covered soon. New details have been revealed about the upcoming Ivy Bridge-E that is set to be launched in Q3 2013.

Model	Cores	Threads	Base Clock	Turbo Clock	L3 Cache	Memory	TDP
Core i7-4960X	6	12	3.6 GHz	4.0 GHz	15 MB	DDR3-1866	130 W
Core i7-4930K	6	12	3.4 GHz	3.9 GHz	12 MB	DDR3-1866	130 W
Core i7-4820K	4	8	3.7 Ghz	3.9 GHz	10 MB	DDR3-1866	130 W

Other than more cores and higher speeds, the Ivy Bridge-E will also feature 30 PCI-Express lanes (third generation); along with various internal changes and better graphics, which can be found in regular Ivy Bridge CPUs as well.

According to a leaked roadmap, we can also expect a Haswell refresh in Q2 2014. This refresh appears to include two new chipsets, Z97 and H97, that support SATA Express, which is said to provide device interface speeds from 8 Gb/s to 16 Gb/s by utilizing PCI-Express lanes. The chipsets will also include Intel device protection, which will protect PCs against malware, and new Intel Smart response and Rapid start technologies with Dynamic Cache Sharing.
