Intel's Core i5 processor shows up
DETAILS OF INTEL'S Core i5 processor have shown up on a retailer's website.
FadFusion has been running an advert for the Core i5-570 processor which it says will run at 2.66GHz and includes 8MB of cache.
The chip is priced at $232 or £140 in proper money. At the University of Maine, Computer Connection is also carrying the Core i5-570 chip at a price of $244.
So far Intel has not said much about the Core i5 line. Intel already offers quad core Core i7 chips for high-end desktops and is expected to also launch Core i3 chips for low-end desktops.
The halfway house of Intel's Core i5 chips is expected to have Lynnfield quad cores.
Motherboards from Gigabyte and Asus have already been announced for the Core i5 processors and benchmarks for the Core i5-750 have been posted on multiple websites like PC Games Hardware. µ

Have seen 4.0GHz from this chip so far in testing
Canny.
Bring them on already. Feels like it's been forever.
Has anyone seen one of these yet?

Orik and SOMA sound to me like internal codenames rather than product names but I'm keeping an eye out for further developments.
I've been holding off building a new PC since I thought these chips were going to be cheap, under $2.
Oh well, guess there's no reason to wait now and will just go with a Phenom ii 3.2GHz (under $2).
btw, I won't pay more then $2 for any CPU, I don't care how fast it is, in a year it'll basically be obsolete and I'll buy something new again anyway.
Thanks for the heads up, I love this site!
If you don't want to tell me where you're getting these $2 CPUs can you at least sell me one for $3?
I too have a $200 price point for buying cpus. Maybe if these i5 cpus come out at too high a price many will consider going Phenom quads.
The problem isn't the CPU price (in the US, an i7 920 is *already* no worse than $200, and Q9550 is under that by $30USD); but if you go i7, you're forced to buy DDR3 memory for it (and right now, it's DDR2 that's the least-expensive type), not to mention that the only chipset that supports i7 (X58) has kept LGA1366 mobo prices ABnormally high.
Unless you are in a niche where i7 is that much better than quad-core (let alone dual-core), LGA775 is still the smart move, even when building using all new parts. All the introduction of i5 will do is push existing LGA775 (especially quad-core) further down in price ($100USD closeout Q9400 for Yule is certainly possible; consider that Q8200, Intel's current floor quad, is there now).
Intel has come with a new processor named as Intel Core i5 Processor it's very godo becasue the new processors is a much improved Turbo Boost technology. In short, this is a feature of the processor clocks. Using all the cores keeps Core i5 750 a frequency of 2.8 GHz, and about one does not use more than one core clock processor automatically up to a total of 3.2 GHz. In comparison, Core i7 920 has up to 2.93 GHz with the use of a core. Core i7 processors on LGA1366-shelf support 3-channel DDR3 memory, but the new processors on LGA1156-shelf only had support for 2-channel DDR3. In addition to the integrated memory controller on the processor, we also find an integrated PCIe controller on the new LGA1156 processors. Thus, there is no need for any north bridge on board with the P55 chipset. For more information http://www.techarena.in/review/11792-intel-core-i5-processor.htm
