Leaked Intel Roadmap Shows Ivy Bridge-E Launch in Q3 2013

Intel’s latest roadmap has been leaked by VR-Zone which shows that the chip giant would launch its Ivy Bridge-E High-End Desktop platform in Q3 2013. Haswell Core i7/i5 on the other hand launches earlier in Q2 of 2013 around April while Core i3 would be launched later in Q3 same time as Ivy Bridge-E launch.

Although it is not known if chipset would remain X79 or a new one would be launched with tweaks and minor updates.
