Core i5 CPU specs, prices reported

[opethian]

LGA1156​

Intel LGA 1366​

​

Delayed until October or not, the Lynnfield (Core i5) are closing in which means more details about them are also popping up. Manufactured using the mature 45nm process, Intel's first Socket 1156 processors are said to be the 2.66, 2.8 and 2.93 GHz-clocked Core i5 models. These processors will all feature four cores and an integrated dual-channel DDR3 memory controller (providing DDR3-1066/1333 support), 8MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 95W. ​

According to reports, the upcoming 2.66, 2.8 and 2.93 GHz chips will have support for the Turbo Boost technology which will enable single-core overclocks of up to 3.2, 3.46 and 3.6 GHz respectively. In terms of prices, the CPUs would go for $196, $284 and $562, with the cheapest part, the 2.66 MHz model, set to not include features like Hyper Threading, vPro and TXT, which will be found on the 2.8 and 2.93 GHz Lynnfields. Shortly after releasing these three processors, Intel is expected to deliver its first 32nm CPUs.

• LGA1156 for value, mainstream and performance segment.
• LGA1366 for enthutiast, workstation and single and dualsocket server segments.
• LGA1567 for quad socket and up servers.

No different than LGA775, LGA771 and LGA604 really.

LGA1156=Dualchannel DDR3, PCIe x16, DMI, Flexvideo or whatever its called.
LGA1366=Tripplechannel DDR3, 1/2x QPI.
LGA1567=Quadchannel FB-DIMM, 4x QPI.

WTF! hell with them

This might be the first blow to Intel's domination I think.

Two different sockets for two different processors at the SAME time = BAD IDEA!

If Phenom II prices drop considerably (including here as well hopefully) ... they might get the market back. Esp. the Black Editions. While for all out power the AMDs are lacking behind ... the value for money game is something AMD has played well before ... and might do so again.

and adding to all that imagine the fact that this sounds lyk we r being sold a transition processor.....

Intel Confidential =O'
and 32nm !?
and btw the chip looks more like a Celeron i just took outta my old crappy computer :/

You should know about intels greed.

No matter what processor they make, they have to introduce a new socket. They MAKE you BUY ANOTHER board with any new processor. Thats their habit and thats why most people prefer AMD processors cause all you need to do is pop one into your existing moo and ure good to go.
