Preliminary characteristics of 45 nm desktop processors yorkfield and Wolfdale are already familiar. We should consider that the frequency characteristics of the first processors can not reflect the possibilities of the one released later Intel company can reexamine the frequency range of the first 45 nm desktop processors.
Associates today confirmed the information about the frequencies of the first desktop processors yorkfield and Wolfdale. Four core processor models will in the first period reach the frequencies up to 2.83 GHz . Dual core processors will be somewhat faster - they will immediately master the frequencies up to 3.16 GHz . We deal here with 1333 MHz system bus processors .
Some testing results of the first intel 45 nm processors already proved that there is no special increase in speed in comparison with their 65 nm predecessors . . Newest road map contains information about that desktop 45 nm processors will be sold under the brand core 2.
From the first January 2008 , intel will start the small processors rebranding . As result the suffixes (Solo, Duo, Quad) from the processors names will disappear, and they all will relate to the family core 2. Idea about the number of core and other characteristics will be in the model number .
