We already reported that in the third quarter , intel will move the 45 NM processors in the budgetary segment, which will present two new processors series Core 2 Quad q8xxx and Pentium e5xxx. Let us recall that in the third quarter the fraction of 45 NM processors in intel production must exceed 50%; therefore the substitution of 65 NM models appears completely regular.
Associate noted yesterday that the frequencies and prices of core 2 Quad q8200 and Pentium e5200 processors : The four core model core 2 Quad q8200 will operate at 2.33 GHz frequency , support 1333 MHz system bus and equipped and with 2 X 2mb cache in the second level. The wholesale price of this processor will be $203. The appearance of 45 NM four core processors for this price class will make the production of 65 NM models less profitable . The reduced core area will allow to reduce the prices of low-end intel four core processors .
Dual core processor Pentium e5200 will operate at 2.5 GHz frequency . If we considers that they will obtain the increased cache in the second level from 1 to 2mb., and price will be equal to $84, then users will obtain higher performance for the same money. Furthermore, for $84 it will be possible to obtain access to the 45 NM technology, which allow higher overclocking . Related Products :
