Just weeks ago, there was recent news on Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors coming to the market in Q1 2010. Unfortunately, little information was known about them, aside from the fact that both Core i3 and Core i5 will be mainstream processors. However, recent information, including projected prices as well as some of the processor's model numbers, have surfaced.

The line up, as of right now, stands:

* Core i3 530 -2.93 GHz
* Core i3 540 -3.06 GHz
* Core i5 650 -3.20 GHz, with Turbo Boost speed of 3.43 GHz
* Core i5 660 -3.33 GHz, with Turbo Boost speed of 3.60 GHz
* Core i5 670 -3.43 GHz, with Turbo Boost speed of 3.73 GHz

Core i5 650 FTW!

Yup, pretty sure that's my next upgrade. Can't wait to be sailing along at 5Ghz on air!

Im sure you won't be on air... I imagine you will be on water and get it to 5.5Ghz+

KarmaKiller · August 11th, 2009, 04:40 PM

Nope, I think I'm sticking with my V8 and massive CFM fan. From the leaked reports, 5Ghz should be very doable with a good air cooler.
(can't say I won't do the canned air trick on the HSF for benchs though)

Those are all dual cores it looks like.

So far...
They are releasing quad core i5 1156 chips, quad core i7 1156 chips,and quad core i7 1366 chips, with hyperthreading. But they haven't leaked/released to much info on those yet.

I'm just happy we get a turbo button back!

*Off topic*
And this would be my next board

So did intel push back the release date then?

thought they were supposed to be out end of last month, to some time in September?

KarmaKiller · August 11th, 2009, 06:10 PM

Yes. At first they were saying that Core i5 would be here by this summers end, but then got pushed back after some minor problems at TSMC.
It's worked out, and suppose to be out at the beginning of the year.

LOL, well there goes those plans...

looks like I might be doing an AMD upgrade to the 2nd system after all. though I've been toying with the idea of an nvidia ION based Dual core Atom system... downside, over all performance wouldn't be any different than the current E2140 system. (same clock speeds, better Intel Dual core, ION's 9400GT chip would/should be less powerful than the old 2600 pro that was in the E2140 system, etc)

and looks like any ION based netbooks will be in same price range as budget range laptops, kind of defeating the point of the ION based netbooks unless you need something that small.
