Intel to Ship New Core i7 and Celeron CPUs in Fourth Quarter 09

Citing un-named sources at motherboard makers, news site DigiTimes says Intel plans on releasing a bevy of new processors before the year is up, including another Core i7 chip. Specifically, Intel will launch the Core i7 960, a 3.2GHz part, in the fourth quarter. If true, this would fly in the face of lingering rumors that Intel plans on riding into the Core i7 sunset with only the 975 Extreme and upcoming 6-core Nehalem, while discontinuing everything else.

In addition to the Core i7 960 part, Intel will also launch a bunch of Celeron chips, including a new 45nm Celeron E3000 series aimed at the entry-level market. Intended to replace the existing Celeron E1000 series, the 3000 series will initially consist of the E3200 (2.4GHz) and E3300 (2.5GHz), with each one sporting 1MB of L2 cache, an 800MHz frontside bus, and a 65W TDP.

And finally, a pair of new Atom chips is expected for early 2010. These will include the single-core Atom D410 and dual-core Atom D510.

avataryour forgetting westmere

Submitted by Gailim on Mon, 06/15/2009 - 9:26am

I think what some of you are forgetting is that Westmere (the 32nm die shrink of nehalem) will definitely be on LGA 1366. so the socket absolutely does have an upgrade path. the core i5 will be almost as fast as the current Nehalem chips but still much slower than Westmere. if you want the fastest CPU then 1366 is the socket to get

avatarWhen to upgrade

Submitted by MenoRikey on Mon, 06/15/2009 - 6:16am

I am holding out purchasing a Core i7 because I've heard the Core i5 (if they are going to be called that) will require new motherboards, but at a cheaper cost with approximately the same speed at the i7's.  People were complaining that the current Core i7's won't have an upgrade path, but with this news it sounds like they will.  So they question is, buy a Core i7 now or wait until the fall for the Core i5's (or whatever)?

This is why Intel needs competition.

Well i would say go for the Core i7 right now...The prices are AWESOME and the performance is OUTSTANDING.  Yeah you could wait, but if we always waited till the next newer better thing came out, we would never get anything...just my opinion.

avatarGo with AMD's Phenom II.

Go with AMD's Phenom II. Just as good as intel in real world performance, cheaper, and like always, an upgrade path that won't break your back or budget.

That's my 2 cents....

Sort of...

 

AMD's competitor to Core i7 is a newer grouping of Phenom II processors on AM3. The Core 2 competitor Phenom IIs I believe you are thinking of are AM2+.

I know that :P Wasn't comparing chip to chip. Just stating that AMD has a much, MUCH better upgrade path. You can buy an AMD mobo today and know it can last you through the next generation of procs. Just about every time intel comes out with a new proc, you have to upgrade the mobo too. Not every time, but dang near!
