According to the last data, Intel company wants to considerably change the assortment of expensive desktop processors. To the end of years the place of low-end model core i7 LGA 1366 will be engaged by lynnfield processors LGA 1156, and for the most generous and most demanding users will be proposed the new platform version skulltrail, which implies the use in one two processors system with eight cores.
LGA 1366 Platform in this scenario will be used for operating the processor's core i7 extreme edition, and for the six-core processor's gulftown, released on 32 nm technology. Free multiplier and large cache volume can no longer justify the high cost of processors with extreme edition suffix; therefore, Intel tries to draw buyer with a large quantity of core.
Associate reports that Intel company decided to accelerate the announcement of six-core processors LGA 1366, after moving it in the second-half of present year. Motherboard producers already injected the support of these processors at the bios level . It is assumed that the six-core processors will be sold under another name, different from Core i7.
In principle, Intel can begin the deliveries of 32 nm processors in this year. Even clarkdale processors with integrated video cores actually will begin to be supplied on OEM market in this year, but they will be officially presented only in the first quarter following year. If we consider that the deliveries volumes of the six-core processors gulftown will be not so great, they can completely rely on earlier announcement. Related Products :
