ED#62 : New Intel 65nm Processors & Price Cuts

[Dashken]

With the launch of the Intel 45nm processors fast approaching, it is easy to dismiss Intel's current slew of 65nm processors as yesterday's news. But the fact of the matter is they are just as powerful as they were yesterday. Even compared against Intel's next-generation 45nm processors, they are still no pushovers and definitely pack a hefty punch.

It is evident that while Intel is rapidly ramping up the transition from 65nm to 45nm, they are not just going to just abandon their 65nm processors. In fact, Intel intends to introduce several new 65nm desktop and mobile processors over the next few months. We have recently obtained details of Intel's future roadmap and pricing details for their 65nm processors. Let's take a look at what Intel has in store for us in the coming months!

Here's a quote from the editorial :-

"The new Intel Core 2 Duo ULV U7700 will have a 1.33 GHz clock speed, a 533 MHz FSB and a 2 MB L2 cache on December 30, 2007. It will be priced at $289 in quantities of 1,000 - the price point of the current top Core 2 Duo ULV SKU - the 1.20 GHz U7600."
