Intel's 2nd Generation Core processor family

[Ankur]

It's out on Intel's website http://www.intel.com/consumer/products/processors/compare-processors.htm?select=desktop

When will it be out on newegg and other sites?

 

[tech savvy]

the new CPU's dont have Hyper-Threading?that sucks.

edit: think i heard it was the 20th of this month but not sure.

 

[Ankur]

They do have Hyper Threading but only in i7 , i3 and in some selected i5 processors.
I think the mean old processors price will go down drastically.

and are the new i5/i7's do they support ddr3 triple or dual and also what does the K mean next to the model number?

 

[Ankur]

No K in model number means no overclocking.

if you click the CPU to view it, it will tell you the release date which i think the earliest date is the 9th i belieave.

i think its vice versa.if its a k CPU than it can be overclocked.

what does it support triple channel or dual?

 

[Ankur]

It supports dual channel, but I think 16GB kits will be out this month.

what the difference between the mobos the p67 and h67?

what the difference between the mobos the p67 and h67?

H67 has onboard graphics and one PCI-E 2.0 16x slot

P67 has two PCI-E 2.0 16x slots.....these ones will be your gaming boards.

What do you all think the release of these will do to the prices of LGA 1366 like the i7 930 and 950 chips? Because they are still amazing and I wonder if there will be a significant price drop.

thats abit wierd isnt it they only support dual channel mem as triple is out and s1366 supports it?!??

It supports dual channel, but I think 16GB kits will be out this month.

16 gigabytes of RAM? Heh heh! I am still using 2 gigabytes of memory with no issues since I like to play old video games.

Who needs 16 gigabytes of memory unless you are building a server?

Supporting triple channel means you'd have to use the 1366 socket. Realistically, like 16GB, most people don't need triple channel memory. With dual channel these processors are capping out at 21GB/s of bandwidth, how many people could actually make use of 32GB/s?
