Because it takes their time and time is money to any good business! Also dont forget that they *should* also run a long stress test after overclocking it to guarentee stability before shipping.
[QUOTE="killerneub"]don't make fun of me but what is Ivy Bridgeurdead18
Successor to Sandy Bridge lineup (2500k, 2600k, 2310, etc etc). Basically Intels next gen of CPUs. No it isnt, it is a 22nm refresh of Sandy Bridge with tri-gate transistors and a new GPU architecture that supports DX11. Early reports say it uses about 40% less power than SB, 20% more CPU performance and twice the on-board GPU performance.
ssd's are still too expensive per GB to replace standard hard drives any time in the near future. so, i wouldn't count on that. 2 weeks ago i would have said to wait for bulldozer but that flopped. so now im saying wait for ivybridge lol.

Ivy Bridge is 2013, no point waiting a whole year.
This seems like the situation when they went from Phenom I to Phenom II. Phenom II was far more improved. But this situation is a lot better when they went from Phenom I to Phenom II, because Phenom I had more significant problems.

No, its not like that situation until AMD make a fix, as it stands right now its just a stinker and nothing else.
Well, the Phenom I to Phenom II was a worse situation. Phenom I had a major bug.
Was the Phenom 1 beaten in certain benchmarks by the THEIR OWN previous generation of processors?
And a sandy bridge owner will be able to justify getting a next gen card whereas a phenom II will likely cause a significant bottleneck depending on how fast the next gen GPU's are going to be. The advantages of a high end CPU in the long run are so obvious it baffles me how people cant understand.

I know, its weird isnt it. "But my Phenom runs current games so Sandy Bridge is not worth the extra cash"!
