Intel’s Core i5/i7 updates for Q1-Q3

After the 32nm release wave last month, Intel is taking it down a notch in the coming quarters although but it is still planning some very interesting additions to its processor line-up. The first note-worthy newbie is the 2.80 GHz Core i7 930 (LGA 1366) which is set to debut on February 28 and cost $284 (the i7 920 will be phased out).On March 16 Intel will introduce the 3.33 GHz Core i7 980X 6-core processor (codename Gulftown) priced at $999, while in mid-May, the 3.6 GHz Core i5 680 dual-core will see the light of day, probably costing $284.In Q2 AMD will introducing its own 6-core processors (codename Thuban) which should go head-to-head, price wise, with Intel’s higher-end quads.
