One of the most frequently mentioned update of nehalem architecture - is the return to the technology hyper-Threading, capable of increasing the quantity of virtual processor cores. The four core processor lynnfield LGA 1156 will also support this technology .
As explains associate, lynnfield processor with 2.66 GHz frequency, low-end model , will not support hyper-Threading . This processor must take the price of Core 2 Quad Q9400 (2.66 GHz), which cost now $213 .
Let us note that lynnfield processors with 2.8 GHz and 2.93 GHz will be placed in one price category with Core i 7-920 (2.66 GHz, $284) and Core i 7-950 (3.06 GHz, $562) respectively.
Lynnfield processor with 2.66 GHz frequency will be also deprived from the support of Intel TXT and vPro technologies. It will be possible to accelerate one of the core to 3.2 GHz within the technology turbo boost .
