Calpella at 55W TDP
We managed to score some interesting information on upcoming
Nehalem based, quad-core Clarksfield CPU and we can now confirm that the
fastest one, branded as Extreme Edition, will work at 2.0GHz. Don't be disappointed with the speed, as with a little
help from the Turbo feature, it will be able to overclock at least one core to 3.2GHz
.
The CPU has four cores and support for eight hyperthreaded
ones, DDR3 1333 as well as massive 8MB of L3 cache. It will use socket rPGA
Socket G1 and it's 37.5mmx37.5mm in size. This fastest Intel quad-core notebook
CPU, that is set to be the performance king of the Calpella platform will have an extremely
high 55W TDP (Thermal Design Power) and it won't do particularly well with the
battery life.
Notebooks based on this CPU are expected in Q3 2009, most
likely they should launch in time for the back to school period, or late August, early September
time.
