Chicago (IL) - Intel will be busy over the next 12 months: The company will not only introduce its first dual-core processor in the second quarter of this year, but plans substantial upgrades for any current desktop processor on its roadmap: The 500-series will receive 64-bit extensions, the 600-series will be first to offer Vanderpool technology, and 65nm versions of single- and dual-core Pentiums will hit the market in early 2006.
The dual-core, 90nm Smithfield moves to the 65nm "Presler"-core and will also start out at 3 GHz and double the L2 cache of the 90nm version: Instead of 2 x 1024 KByte, Presler will receive 2 x 2048 KByte. Sampling of the single- and dual-core 65nm chips is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year with a product launch to follow in Q1 of 2006.
