Yorkfield will be released in the third quarter of 2007, and Kentsfield (quad core) will be released in November next month.

Future processors

Conroe

In October 2006, leaked Intel roadmaps unveiled that Intel plans to release four additional Core 2 Duo Processors. The release in 2007 will coincide with that of the Intel Bearlake chipset. The new processors will be the Core 2 Duo E6650, E6750, E6800, and E6850. Processor with a number ending in "50" will have a 1333 MHz FSB. The processors will all have 4 MB of Level 2 cache. Their clock frequency will be similar to that of the already released processors with the same first two digits (E6600, E6700, X6800)

Penryn

The successor to the Merom, code-named Penryn will most likely debut the 45 nanometer process that will be also used for the Kentsfield sequel, Yorkfield. Announcements about Penryn are expected by mid-2007.

Kentsfield

Kentsfield is the codename for the first quad-core version of the Core 2 processor. The first model of Kentsfield, the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, will arrive with a clock speed of 2.67 GHz and two 4 MB L2 caches in November 2006, at a price of $999, the same as the Core 2 Extreme X6800. Initial samples of the processor had substantially higher power consumption than their Core 2 Duo counterparts (approx. 130 watts), however the retail version is expected to have a thermal envelope of 80 W.The top-of-the-line Kentsfield CPU will be branded Core 2 Extreme, while the mainstream versions will be called Core 2 Quad. Unlike AMD's 4x4 (which refers to two dual-core processors on one motherboard), Kentsfield will be a one socket solution; for example, the QX6700 will be two E6700 chips connected together by a 1066 MHz FSB on one MCM, resulting in lower costs but less bandwidth to the northbridge. As can be expected, 4 cores scale very well in multi-threaded applications, such as video editing, ray-tracing, or rendering, where the performance doubles compared to an equally clocked Core 2 Duo. However single or dual-threaded applications, for example most games, will not benefit from the additional cores. For single threaded applications, initial performance reports indicate that this relatively small increase in FSB and processor speed does not dramatically increase overall performance alone; however, it does leave more room for high-speed, low latency RAM to significantly boost the numbers.

Yorkfield

Earlier media reports suggested Yorkfield to be an octa-core (eight-core) processor consisting of 2 dies with four cores each. However the newest rumours indicate that Yorkfield will be the quad-core successor to the Kentsfield processor. It will have a 45 nanometer process, and be a single die design, unlike the Kentsfield, which has been compared to basically two separate Conroe cores in one socket. The Yorkfield will have 8 MB of fully shared L2 cache (the Kentsfield has two separate 4M L2 caches, shared separately by each pair of processors). An across-the-board increase in bus speed (connection to the northbridge, etc.) to greater than 1333 MHz is hoped for by this point, as all processors will be primarily limited by the bus bandwidth. This may prove to be difficult, as past advancements in bus speed have come coupled with changes in how the data is sent. Yorkfield is also expected to be released supporting DDR3 memory (1333 MHz DDR), as suggested by certain enthusiast websites.

Allendale

An E4300 Allendale (1.8 GHz, 800 MT/s FSB) will be released in the 1st quarter of 2007.

Merom Merom was released on July 27, 2006, and has since been adopted by notebook manufacturers.
A second wave of Merom processors featuring an 800 MT/s FSB and using the new Socket P is expected to launch in April 2007. These chips will be part of the platform codenamed Santa Rosa. Low voltage versions are also planned for release in the same timeframe.

Conroe-L Intel will offer a low-cost single-core version of Conroe, code-named "Conroe-L", starting from the second quarter 2007, according to an article on DailyTech. The new Conroe-L processors will not carry the Core nomenclature. Instead Intel is resuscitating the Pentium and Celeron brands for Conroe-L based products

what can you do with a Conroe-L compared to Celeron of same speed?

The_Beast · 10-26-2006, 10:26 PM

that sounds so cool i really want one but wouldnt be able to buy one

bigl2007 · 10-26-2006, 11:47 PM

are some of these quad cores gonna be socket 775?

Yep.

maroon1 · 10-26-2006, 11:57 PM

yes I think "Kentsfield" are going to be socket 775

bigl2007 · 10-26-2006, 11:58 PM

awesome

cuz im gonna be building a socket 775 computer pretty soon

Obviously Kentsfield is going to be LGA775.

holyjunk · 10-27-2006, 10:56 PM

Though who knows with Intel's past of new motherboard requirements with the same socket scheem they might not work with current 775 socket motherboards.
