Future intel i-series processor chips

Laptops have always been using Centrino as a fast technology standard for gaming.   Diy Computers Tech news sniffs out the new “Nehalem” Core i7, which was introduced last November. Intel’s update includes the newly minted i7-975 (8M L3 cache, 4 cores, 8 threads, 3.33GHz, 6.4 GT/s QPI). This is priced at $999.

These processors can effectively double the number of tasks that can be done, GT/s stands for giga transfers per second, and QPI is Intel’s new Quick Path Interconnect technology.The i7-950 boasts identical specifications except for a lower 3.06GHz clock speed and 4.8 GT/s. It is priced at $562.

Equally anticipated are the new Intel ULV (ultra-low-voltage) processors. Though some of these were (such as the 5-watt, single-core SU3500 and 10-watt, dual-core SU9600), the 10-watt Pentium architecture-based SU2700 (1 core, 2M Cache, 1.30 GHz, 800MHz front-side bus) is new. Intel is not listing this chip, nor is it publishing a price. Though notebooks with this chip are expected to go as low as $499, according to Intel.  Laptops using the ULV chips include the ultra-thin Asus UX30, which will feature the 1.6GHz SU9600, among other chips, and the MSI X340 X-Slim, which sports the SU3500.

Intel also listed new mainstream mobile processors, including the 35-watt T9900 (6M L2 cache, 2 cores, 2 threads, 3.06GHz, 1066MHz FSB). This goes for $530.

With this table of data, you will be able to have a decent guide of how fast a processor is when you choose a new computer.  The current Core 2 Duos are also known as i3 series.  Apart from the i7 series that have been released, the rest are still unavailable.
