Intel’s 2H09 roadmap is revealed

Core i7, Celerons and Atoms break cover
Monday, 15 June 2009, 17:32

IT SEEMS that Intel's fourth-quarter 2009 roadmap has been published online by Dodgytimes.

Compiling data from Taiwan's motherboard makers, Dodgy says there is a spate of new processors to be launched by Chipzilla later this year, including a Core i7, several Celerons and new single- and dual-core Atoms.

A new Core i7 960, running at 3.2GHz, will replace the current non-extreme top o' the crop 950 and should also guarantee the extinction of the Core i7 965EE, as Intel would have a hard time explaining why you'd have to pay $447 more for the extra QPI bandwidth.

The Celerons will get a boost with the release of the E3000-series, with the E3200 and E3300 clocking in at 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz respectively, both with an 800MHz FSB and 1MB of L2 cache, and now also with the new and improved VT-x virtualization. These will line up against AMD's Athlon II X2 series processors in both price and performance.

Finally, the Atom 230 and 330 processors will be replaced by the D410 and D510, respectively, at the time of introduction of the Pine Trail two-chip platform. This also means GMA500 graphics and the CPU mounted in the same package. As Intel put it just a few weeks ago, this should bring down OEMs' bill of materials costs and send profits up.

Intel really should change its "we don't comment on unannounced products" line to "we don't comment on unannounced products announced by our partners", eh? µ

Am I the only one bored with Intel release lists ?

If it would be all la Intela 's way we would still be running 80386es.

With 120MB cache, that is.

Technocratic morons, with all that talent, with all those resources. Never inventing, never innovating, always a copycat and when the market cap is made... mayor chill out on the forecast map.

Time for AMD or something else to think of something innovative, Intel just stole all there is left. HT VT name it.

Blerch.

Until 06 an Intel fan

To educate uninformed fanboys

Give this link to annoying fanboys who are unfamiliar with computer history:

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Timna/

Intel Timna processor

In 1999, years before AMD announced their "Fusion" plans Intel had already developed a desktop processor chip that not only had graphics integrated but also memory controller integrated.

You don't hear anyone screaming AMD stealing from Intel.

Blerch an Uber-troll?

Virtualization (IBM System/370)and wasnt HyperTransport delveloped from a Alpha design (alpha ev7 interconnect)?
Check your facts before you writ ...

Stop spreading fud!!

More Informative would be:

When can you buy Intel chipsets ICHR11 motherboards with USB 3.0, SAS, insanity bridges to ride nuddie knolly bikes in Brighton, Cardiff, Manchester, London, Sheffield, Southampton and York an all that as the bishop say to the actress?

AMD 710 Does 4 Cores O.K.

oN asROCK 790 gxh 128 3 core AMD 710 had NO Probs opening 4th core. Just fiddle in bios with few places it states cores & do enable thing. What it didn't do well was verizon dsl modem, finally it caught modem with some work, has 7 64 for first build. then micronerd wouldn't even consider updates, tryed verizon again as had to move to new modem & phone jack in process, then monitor froze, then power went dead on both monitor & 'puter on restart, then unassenbled & tested & running again. So Go Fugger?
yet, 3 cores to 4 was simple & 266 core was no probs on 1066 ddr2. So fo rcouple hundred, on my way. multiplier is 13.5.

Intel sell you deal, work not much bettter & cost $1,500.00. Again, Go Figure. Its NOT worth $1,300.00 for 20%, especially with fun of opening core up. might have done 720, avoided freeze, & Asus main, more smooth is impression here. as looked over Top Mains. yet next.uLTEE' fIXIT.

""""""""""
Timna was the codename of a proposed Processor Family by Intel. Later, a serious defect was discovered in the design of the MTH and so the Intel 820 based motherboards using it had to be recalled. The MTH was rebuilt again but problems still remained. Timna was therefore cancelled on 29 September 2000.(from wiki)
"""""""""""

its been cancelled and therefore its not Stealing the idea but revived the impossible. Unlike the direct stealing idea of NX bit.

this report will only appeal to the morons who pay through the nose for the latest gimmicks.
any fool can realise that waiting a short time will mean owning the exact same tat for a fraction of the price.
who can blame companies for exploiting these braindeads
btw, you failed to mention that intel's agenda includes bribing retailers to stock only intel products.

damn it

where's core i7 for laptops?
and Nvidia, where's the laptop version of the b200 chips? don't keep releasing a re-worked G92 and calling it something from the current product line!

two and a half years and still nothing to replace my core2duo lappy with.
