Yes the 3980X 8-core SB-E should be out sometime in Q2 (by June 30th). No exact date was given. IB-E will be out in Q4, however there's a small chance Intel may skip IB-E and go directly to Haswell-E. Small, small chance. SB-E and IB-E can both use the same motherboard and socket, but Haswell-E will need a new motherboard even though it's still socket 2011 because the X79 chipset won't support it. Gonna need X99. Haswell-E is also supposed to support quad-channel DDR4,Originally Posted by Bryan
