Intel Sandy Bridge-E Specifications

The Sandy Bridge-E CPUs which are said to be the 3rd generation CORE processors are said to be released in a few months time, mostly in start of 2012. These processors are similar to the past generation processors. The 3960x similar to the Gulftown and 3820 is like 2600k. The large cache with high Memory speeds would make it faster.

Processor	Base Clock	Max. Turbo Clock	Cores / Threads	L3 Cache	Memory	Interface	TDP
Core i7-3960X *Unlocked	3.3 GHz	3.9 GHz	6/12	15 MB	4-channel DDR3-1600	LGA 2011	130 W
Core i7-3930K *Unlocked	3.2 GHz	3.8 GHz	6/12	12 MB	4-channel DDR3-1600	LGA 2011	130 W
Core i7-3820 *Partially Unlocked	3.6 GHz	3.9 GHz	4/8	10 MB	4-channel DDR3-1600	LGA 2011	130 W

The 39xx series will have sky rocket prices assumed more than 500$ and 900$. Thats what makes it look big. The 3.3 GHz base clock of the 3960K seems to be good enough to push it till 5GHz, Its multiplier would be till 50X. Comparing Ivy bridge's compiler it is 12X less.

Coming to the naming convention, as these are Intel's third generation CPUs therefore the numbers start from 3, the next 3 digits are the actual processor number example underlined 3960x.

Similar is for the rest of the processors, seeing the 960 number I feel that they will even launch a CPU like 990x i.e 3990x, now that is a real cool number.
