Intel 2006 Desktop CPU Roadmap Update

Core 2 Duo processors will be introduced on July 23 of this year and, according to Intel’s estimates, and will be accompanied by the new 96x “Broadwater” chipset. According to Intel’s updated roadmap, Core 2 processors will expand to roughly 35% of Intel’s shipments in Q1’07. Conroe, as the desktop version of Core 2 Duo is dubbed, will be the first Intel processor with the new letter/number naming schedule, as noted below.

If these prices hold true and performance reports are accurate, you should be able to get an amazing chip for around $200. What’s interesting to note, is that even the CPU’s that have a ‘budget’ price have a FSB of 1066. I cannot wait to get ahold of one of these.. Check out all the known information at DailyTech.
