Report: Intel's Ivy Bridge-E CPUs Will Launch Sept. 2013

Previously, we were already aware that Intel's Ivy Bridge-E CPUs would be launching somewhere during Q3-2013, but now we may have a more specific date. VR-Zone has revealed a slide that shows that the CPUs are supposedly coming out in September 2013, among which are the i7-4820K, i7-4930K, and i7-4960X.

Core i7-4930K6 / 123.4 / 3.9 GHz12 MBDDR3-1866130 W
Core i7-4820K4 / 83.7 / 3.9 GHz10 MBDDR3-1866130 W

Based on the numbers given, we see the successor to the i7-3820K as the i7-4820K, and the i7-3930K is succeeded by the i7-4930K. Similarly, the i7-3960K is improved upon by the i7-4960K. What we don't see is a successor to the i7-3970X; however, we could assume that down the line, Intel might introduce an i7-4970X to top everything off. This is not shown on Intel's roadmap below, though.
