as a poor but happy i7 920 owner, i hope Gulftown will be affordable... eventually... :-/

intel users have to wait a year to have a six core nehalem and core i7, while amd have a six core now, and already demoed a 12 core cpu, also intel is a humongous mess with the renaming thing. like a dog chasing its tail.
whats wrong with intel?

Does not look like all the future Core iX branded CPU's will use QPI. Is Intel using the PCIe x16 as a FSB replacement?. I thought Intel was going full steam ahead withj QPI like AMD did with HT.

Roadmaps? I thought Intel made processors.

:-)

Cue all the usual bitching about marketing and branding.

The parameters of those products are already known, or at least very widely rumored: 45m, four cores, eight hardware threads,

I think it should be typed 45nm

Well, I guess they are working. But maybe too much free time on their hands. Someone spent too much time with a Rubik's cube and ended up making the charts look like one! LOL
The playing around with specs and the platform differences reminds me of an Archies joke where Jughead asks Dilton for the meaning of a word and ends up looking the meanings of 15 words from the dictionary.
Too many platforms, brands and monkeying with specs.

There's not a damn thing in the sub-65W segment!

The only non-Atom thing down there is the single-core Celeron launched @ the beginning of last year. :-/

so future Core i5 CPUs will be slower than the ones coming out sooner, because they lose two cores. How's that progress?

Those don't look like official Intel roadmaps at all, just looks like something someone with far too much time on their hands drew. That, and there's nothing really there you can't already find elsewhere.

Okay AMD, there you go. It's the other coaches playbook. Plan accordingly.

So this means there's no end in the next year for the Pentium 4 672 to hand over the reigns of fastest clocked processor in history (3.8Ghz). Maybe we'll see it fall in 2011. I can't believe the dual-core Clarkdale though list as 3.46-3.73Ghz in Q1 2010, it looks like an anomoly in a see of pink quad cores. The last time a dual was in that classification was Q2 2007 with the E6700. With a TDP of 73W I imagine that thing is going to crank up pretty darned high. The Cedar Mills in the 8Ghz club are going to have company early next year. Buy stock in LN2.

man am i glad i have a socket 1366 right about now....

What a shame they abandoned the simplicity of LGA775 :/ Having LGA1336 as a server and ultra high-end socket is fine but multiple mainstream sockets is not cool. I understand why they do it for rebranded legacy LGA775 CPUs but why for Nehalem-based ones?? It's only one pin, could it really do that much?

Massive indeed, the word has to be used twice. :)

Perhaps the Intel Marketing guys attended too many BMW-Sauber F1 events (Intel is a significant sponsor for the team) and got the 3-, 5-, 7- series ideas? What's next, they will drop the Extreme moniker for the "M"?

Hmm. So Intel is listing their Turbo Boost processors with two clock speeds, for example the mobile i7 720QM is "1.6-2.8GHz".

I wonder if they'll be advertised by the slower number, the faster number, or both? If they only use the faster number, that's a tiny bit deceptive.

The slower number, on the other hand, isn't going to look very impressive in ads.

Clock speeds aren't listed, but the chart says Gulftown will have 12MB of L2

I think it's L3 cache.

And it's good to see that Clarkdale and Lynnfield will have the same package even with the graphics included.

Hiroshige Goto keeps updating his "kaigai" roadmaps quite frequently, but usually they aren't based on solid rumors, but more like estimates. Some of this roadmap information conflicts with information that Anand received:

http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3585

where the currently Core 2 branded processors are rebranded Core i3 (i.e. those Wolfdale and Yorkfield processors not branded Celeron or Pentium).

The chart probably makes for a good illustration regarding how the products will be introduced and priced, but I don't think it should be taken too seriously regarding how the quad-core Lynnfields will be priced in relation to the dual-core Clarkdales, and where the LGA 775 products currently branded Core 2 will go.

It's a lot but it doesn't say to much about new products it's a nice history.

Ooooh, pretty colors...

It has been a while for a massive AMD leak...
But whooo, making that chart was fun for the creator(s).
