Computerbase appear to have leaked information on the Intel launch lineup for Sandy bridge. Both mobile and desktop parts are listed and while this is not confirmed it looks to be reasonably realistic going on previous reports.
The move to Sandy Bridge will give customers new solutions with power via desktop quad core parts in the 45-95W range. The new top end Core i7-2600K quad core unit will run at 3.4ghz (3.8ghz with Turbo Boost) on a 8MB L3 cache and a TDP of 95W. We are particularly interested in the mobile based Core i7-2920XM at 2.5ghz (3.5ghz with Turbo boost) – which is a four core processor with 8MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 55W.
Still no sign of Sandy Bridge Ultra Low Voltage processors however, but we are positive that is just around the corner.
KitGuru says: Does this get you excited or are you happy with your current solution?
My current core i5 is brilliant, I love Intels processor. these obviously interest me, but im a tech whore, so it all does 🙂
Very interesting info, will be good to see how this plays out over the rest of the year.
will the new processer need a new powersupply?
