Processor 721 Published by

More details about Intel's Lynnfield and Clarksfield launch lineup surfaced. There are claims the first three Core i7/i5 Lynnfield desktop processors will feature clockspeeds of 2.66GHz, 2.8GHz and 2.93GHz, with Turbo Boost modes of 3.2GHz, 3.46GHz and 3.6GHz, respectively. These quad-core LGA1156 chips will have a TDP of 95W, the launch is slated for the second week of September.

 

The mobile quad-core Clarksfield processor is expected by the end of September or late October, if I correctly interpreted the Chinese text. There will be two Core i7 branded processors and one Core i7 Extreme Edition model. The latter one has a 2GHz clockspeed with 3.2GHz Turbo Boost mode, while the other chips are clocked at 1.6GHz and 2.8GHz, with 2.8GHz and 3.06GHz Turbo Boost modes. All three chips have 8MB L3 cache but the TDP is on the high side. The Core i7 models have a TDP of 45W while the Core i7 Extreme Edition is a 55W hot powerhouse.
