The 5-star level consists of Core i7 Series, QX9000 Series and several other high-end mobile CPUs. And Celeron falls [...]
In February Intel indicated that it’s initiating a C-0 to D-0 stepping conversion for the Intel Core i7-920 processor.
Intel D-0 Stepping Core i7-920
The overclocking performance of D-0 Core i7-920 is superior to that of C0/C1 stepping. New stepping Core i7-920 features a few changes including S-Spec from SLBCH to SLBEJ, and the CPU ID from [...]
Intel intros specialized Atom for cars and other devices, outsources some Atom manufacturing
Relying on the same 45nm manufacturing process, the new Atom Z5xx series processors expectedly aren’t too radically different from the average Atom, with them clocking in between 1.1GHz and 1.6GHz, and boasting a TDP rating of 2.0 or 2.2 watts, although they do [...]
Intel will officially introduce the dual processor Nehalem-EP, aka Gainestown.
Essentially, it keeps the same format and LGA1366 socket as the uni-processor Core i7, just dual CPU support and two QPI links per chip this time – one to talk to the Tylersburg chipset, another for high speed whispering to its twin Nehalem brother.
Even the workstation [...]
Official launch on March 30th
Intel will officially launch the Nehalem generation of Xeons on the very last day of March. While it will show itself in Intel’s pricelist on March 28th, the official launch and availability is planned for the last day in Q1.
