Intel to preview chips this week
THURSDAY WILL BE a big day for Intel when it shows off what it will be selling next year.
It will be the first time that Chipzilla will show its next-generation 32nm chip technology.
Intel's preview of its latest Core I series of processors is a precursor to the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Based around the "Nehalem" microarchitecture, the new chips will be a step up from the ones released this year.
It is expected to preview its first Core i3 processors including the 2.93GHz Core i3 530, which has appeared on retail sites already, as well as updates to its Core i5 series processors.
Another chip Intel is expected to show off is "Arrandale", which is the first mainstream Intel laptop package to put two processor cores and a graphics function together in one chip module.
Arrandale will come out under Intel's Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 brands, and initial versions are expected to appear as Core i3 and i5 parts.
We are expecting to see Chipzilla install its Turbo Boost technology into more Core i5 and i7 processors. Turbo Boost speeds up and slows down individual cores when needed to save on power.
There probably will also be something said about Intel's Pine Trail Atom chip technology for netbooks. µ

We have the i9, i7 and i5. Who cares about i3?
When are they dropping the price on i920 cpu and the x58 chipset so mobos are reasonable too? Then I will buy one. Until then the Tomshardware review said that new AMD cpu's are as quick as the i7's, and not that far off the i9's. Really ;-)
Hopefully AMD are working methodically and pushing for a nice cpu next year.
igp already? i thougth that amd were suppose to be the first (and only one) with "bulldozer" however it's so late...it will probably be out the same date that starcraft II...
Anyway, I was thinking: wouldn't integrated graphic be more useful in pintrail? (atom II?) Because if the graphic part suck as much as regular intel graphic, why don't they put it along with a crappy cpu?
Wow. A lot of anger and hostility. Are you always like this or is today just a bad day ?
If their poor excuse for graphics is integrated into my sh*t then we don't have much choice but accept and then upgrade with a REAL graphics card... trouble is even turning the IGP bullsh*t off probably still consumes power in watts! What a waste. So much for saving the damn planet.
Love AMD/ATI and even Nvidia chipset, they have decent graphics that is good for other things as well as the normal jobs.
Larabee is dead as well... if only IBM were to buy nvidia then intel will be irrelevant, what a big joke.
I've always been told: THE BIGGER THEY ARE THE HARDER THEY FALL AND THE DUMBER THEY ARE!
By the way, where the fcuk is the 10GHz processor i was promised when the P4 was launched.
I only wish the morons will just allow people to do honest business and allow nvidia to go ahead and make some nice chipsets and settle like they have with AMD, then i may start to respect these greedy bastards!
Bye.
Jon.
Forget about i3, i5, i7...We want a preview of the soon to be released i9 processor.
intel has the largest market share in graphics processors which clearly shows that consumers are not buying alternative Graphics cards.
I agree their cards used to suck, and even now they are only slighty better, but most folk wont be playing highend games, if it can play HD video AND handle the audio through HDMI correctly then it will win as all its predecessor have.
even with igp intel's support for games and graphics is terrible except for office and enterprise apps. consumers will still be getting a graphics card to support their pc.
