Fudzilla believes Intel plans to offer faster Core i3 and Core i7 (Lynnfield) CPUs sometime next quarter. On the Core i3 front, the site claims that Intel plans to offer a third Core i3 SKU, the Core i3-550, which will be clocked at 3.2GHz. Other key specs will carry over unchanged.
Fudzilla believes Intel plans to offer faster Core i3 and Core i7 (Lynnfield) CPUs sometime next quarter.
On the Core i3 front, the site claims that Intel plans to offer a third Core i3 SKU, the Core i3-550, which will be clocked at 3.2GHz. Other key specs will carry over unchanged.
When the new i3 CPU arrives, Fudzilla expects the 540 will finally displace Intel's Core 2 Duo E8600, pushing the Wolfdale processors into the bargain bin of the CPU market.
For enthusiasts, Fudzilla says Intel will release the Core i7-880 next quarter. The chip will supposedly be clocked at 3.06GHz, with Turbo Mode taking speeds as high as 3.73GHz.
With these kind of specs, the Core i7-880 could potentially step on the toes of the Bloomfield-based Core i7-950 and 960, but remember that Intel plans to introduce the first 6-core desktop parts shortly.
