2.8GHz
mainstream quad core
Intel's
Core i7 930 is supposed to launch inQ1 2010 and this 2.8GHz quad-core should
last all 2010 as the king of Intel’s MS3 fastest Mainstream category in the company's
nomenclature.
This should
change in early 2011 as Sandy Bridge is supposed to replace this product. It is
way too early to hear about any concrete clock speeds but we can confirm it’s a
quad-core with improved performance clock to clock with Nehalem generation.
Sandy
Bridge will also be the first quad-core to get a monolithic CPU with graphics,
as today you can only get integrated graphics with Clarkdale / Arrandale 32nm CPUs which feature a stitched 45nm graphics core. Sandy Bridge will also be the first monolithic dual core, with totally
integrated graphics into same die as the CPU.
