Against the initial Intel promises to present new inexpensive processors with free multiplier the appearance Of core i 7 -875K (2.93 GHz) caused a certain dissatisfaction, for those who were not ready to pay for the processor more than $500.
As reports associate, in the beginning of June Intel will also present the dual core processor core i 5 -655K (3.2 GHz), which will obtain a free multiplier and cost not more than $200. It is assumed that the processor core i 5 -655K will get the marking form SLBXL. Let us note that Core i 7 -875K (2.93 GHz) also will not be as expensive as it was assumed - due to the total price reduction of related processors during June it can fall in price to $284.
Near reduction in Intel processors prices are expected on 18 April this year. During this day will be presented the dual core processor core i 5-680 (3.6 GHz) and budget Pentium e5500 (2.8 GHz). During June will be presented Core i 7-880 (3.06 GHz), Core i 3-550 (3.2 GHz) and Pentium e6700 (3.2 GHz). The first summer month will also present to us the new processors atom n425 and Atom d525, which, supposedly, will ensure the support to DDR3 memory. In the second quarter will appear the economical four core processor core i 7 -870s (2.66 GHz) with the TDP level not more than 82 W. The third quarter will present to us the second processor gulftown, which will combine 32 nm production technology and six core with 12 mb cache in the third level.
