It was considered Until now that dual core 65 nm processors pentium e2xxx with 1 mb. cache in the second level and 800 MHz system bus will appear in the third quarter of 2007, then for the market will be released single core budget processors celeron 4xx with 512 KB cache in the second level and 800 MHz system bus. However, intel company regularly reexamines its plans.
Fresh road map intel, report to our associate the following information: the announcement of processors pentium e2xxx and Celeron 4xx will takes place already in the second quarter of 2007. Thus, processors with architecture core will considerably strengthen their market positions even in the budget market sector . Already in the first quarter of this year more than 60% desktop processors intel will have two core, whereas the fraction of processors core 2 Duo in the assortment of intel production in the second quarter will exceed 50%. Processors with architecture netBurst in the third quarter 2007 will represente on the market in insignificant quantities, but already in the fourth quarter will start the completely of reign new architecture.
Since it is known that in the second quarter the cost of processor core 2 Duo e4300 (1.8 GHz) will descend to $113, we can design for the attractive prices level the processors pentium e2xxx and Celeron 4xx e announced at this time. I.e., they will cost less than $100. The representatives of architecture netBurst will to get even lower price, since Intel will intend to aggressively get rid of their reserves.
Level TDP for Pentium e2xxx will be equal to 65 W, since Intel decided to unify the thermal characteristics of all produced in 2007 dual cores processors. Let us note that also future 45 nm dual core processors intel will have TDP not more than 65 W…
