Intel Roadmaps Shows Lack of CPU Launches in 1H 2009

If you enjoy looking at huge diagrams inside of PDF files, then you are in luck. Japanese site PC Watch somehow got a hold of a large collection of PDFs that outline Intel’s future plans for a variety of product-lines, from processor, chipset and beyond.

After a quick look through a few of the different documents, I didn’t notice anything extremely out of the ordinary, but the diagrams definitely verify a lot of what we were thinking. The first Nehalem launch parts are still clocked at 3.2GHz, 2.93GHz and 2.66GHz, with follow-up parts in… Q3 2009? Yes, you read that right.

In Q3 of next year, Intel will launch a handful of new processors, including mainstream Quad-Cores and Dual-Cores, although none of the roadmaps include exact clock speeds yet, understandably so. Nehalem’s 32nm successor, Westmere, is still slated for 2010, which is when we’ll begin to see desktop six-core processors. It’s clear to me that Intel is no longer toying with the idea of an Octal-Core, at least right now, which I’m sure most people will be fine with.

For a real time-killer, definitely head over to that link and download all of the documents. It is sure to keep you busy for quite a while.

Price line and say, the first to introduce quad-core version of the “Bloomfield (Bloomfield)” is the top brand Extreme system SKU (Stock Keeping Unit = products) 3.2 GHz (8MB/QPI 6.4Gtps/DDR3-1066 ), The traditional top-level price of 999 dollars. Core 2 Extreme QX9650 (3GHz/12MB/FSB1333) the same level, a special high-cost QX9770/9775 (3.2GHz/12MB/FSB1600) from the 1399/1499 dollars is cheap.
