Yorkfield Quad Core 12 MB Extreme Comes

[NoPeace]

Intel roadmap: After 3 GHz FSB 1333


Intel plans to introduce a new quad core codenamed Yorkfield and this will be a new Core 2 Extreme. At this point Intel doesn't want to tell a frequency of a chip but this will depend on how fast is Barcelona or Agena FX as a matter of speaking.

The new CPU supports FSB 1333, has up to 12 MB of cache memory quad core and it firsts in LGA 775. This CPU comes in Q1 2008 but some sources close to Intel indicated that if possibly Intel can launch a limited number of these CPUs in Q4.

Damn.... And I though 8mb was a lot.

Wonder what the pricings on those are going to be. Looks like the technology is moving so fast this year I'm going to hold off on building my new PC for a while till everything settles down a bit.

Probably $500 and $999.

And yeah. CPU tech has been changing so much this year. Kind of like how graphics did last year.
