Sandy Bridge-E Delayed to January 2012: Sources
Originally slated for Q4 2011, the launch of Intel's Sandy Bridge-E desktop/workstation platform has been pushed back to Q1 2012, sources told VR-Zone. The high-end platform was expected by industry observers to be a December launch, targeting the shopping season, but it seems like January 2012 is found to be more fitting. Perhaps the International CES, where the latest and greatest from the tech industry is unveiled, serves as the ideal launch-pad for Sandy Bridge-E.
Sandy Bridge-E is an upscale of the architecture that makes up Intel's 2011 Core processor family. Consisting of 4 or 6 cores, Sandy Bridge makes up two distinct product lines for the client desktop market. The chips pack massive quad-channel DDR3 integrated memory controllers and PCI-Express 3.0 hubs that can drive up to four graphics cards. The processor is made of a new 2011-pin LGA package, with the new Intel X79 chipset handling the rest of the platform.

The 48cores 1Jan 2011 on 1 cpu I was referring to was the 48 or 50core Knights Corner
and the recent Intel news that stated the 50 to 250 cores per cpu is giving them a hard time with the coding issues they have. Sry forgot the link.

Apple also wanted to unofficially have the Xeon E5 or the Knights Bridge whatever they could get their hands on in their upcoming Apple Mac Pro's for August that has a custom cpu but I guess they had to settle for something like 16 cores instead.

HPC/HOPC "HomeOffice PC" (20x 12core 6168) "240cores" / (10x 6870x2) "22400stream cores" is my HPC just waiting for powercolor to get their release acts together so I can get delivery. Surely every 2nd persons has something as slow my HPC ?
LOL viagra joke is about Intel not being able to deliver on demand or on request, but I am sure you got that joke ? :p
