Today, our friends at BrightSideofNews reported that Intel’s retail channel partner and major technology redistributor Fry’s Electronics has already begun to sell the upcoming Core i5 quad-core Lynnfield processor series.

As the story goes, Intel’s socket LGA 1156 Lynnfield platform isn’t scheduled to make an official debut until Sunday, September 6th. However, Fry’s Electronics currently lists the Core i5 750 2.66GHz quad-core, 4-threaded processor for $205 on both its website and its retail channels. In other words, the LGA 1156 generation and Lynnfield platform have made an early arrival in both the United States and Taiwan.



In a few hours, we will be able to confirm the news for ourselves when Fry’s opens and we are hoping the local stores here in Southern California are carrying them in stock.
