“Intel’s plans to overhaul its desktop processors early next year have been detailed almost entirely in a roadmap published today. The lineup is now believed to be headlined by low-powered S versions of the Core i5-750 and i7-860 that will run all four cores at 2.4GHz and 2.53GHz respectively; they should use just 82W of power versus 95W or more and fit into tighter spaces. Each will have 8MB of Level 2 cache, though the Core i7 chips will scale up to 3.46GHz where the Core i5 will stop at 3.2GHz.”
Is it normal that a leaked roadmap should leave one feeling down about the near future of CPUs?
It’s the same stuff I knew, but with more brand separation. Yay.
yeah i was hoping for more on the 1156 socket.
Wasn’t anyone interested in the dual-core i5 that runs at 3.4GHz stock and 3.7GHz boosted?
Yes I did see that and would like to see some reviews of it.
Guess that just gives AMD some time to catch up. Of course AMD’s roadmap doesn’t exactly look explosive either. Hope they get the Phenom II X4 975 out soon to put price pressure on the upper mainstream segment.
