It gets worse. VR-Zone claims to have the skinny on Intel's mainstream 22nm Ivy Bridge (socket 1155) platform shipping in 2012, and it's not good news for overclockers. Apparently Intel has decided to implement just a single base clock option for Ivy Bridge above the 100MHz of Sandy Bridge, and that's 133MHz. Rumor has it Intel doesn't want Ivy Bridge to compete with its Sandy Bridge-E (socket 2011) platform, which is what would happen if Intel gave users more base clock options to play around with.
