Intel has already revealed its secret plan to dominate the world and simplify its brands, and with this new change, Clarksfield will become Core i7. Clarksfield is nothing more than a slower Lynnfield quad-core based on 45nm Nehalem, but it will be captured in mobile rPGA socket G1.
We told you that
mobile Core i7 Extreme, or Lynnfield Extreme how we called it back than will
work at 2.0GHz with all four cores and with the help of turbo overclocking, you
can hope to see a single core running at 3.2GHz.
Core i7 Clarksfield
mobile with 1.73GHz core clock has a 45W TDP, and a single core overclocks all
the way to 3.06GHz. it supports DDR3 1333, again fixed speed in comparison with
Nehalem generation that officially only certifies DDR3 800 and 1066, and just
as Extreme it comes with 8MB of cache.
The competing market
is called quad--core performance and when it comes to notebooks, Intel doesn’t really
have any competition from AMD or anyone else.
