Since only Lynnfield quad-core launches in Q3 2009, when Intel talks about percentage of socket H CPUs, at least until Q1 this number mainly includes quad-core Lynnfields. We still cannot say Core i5 as some of these CPUs will be branded as Core i7, depending on its speed. Clarkdale will probably start shipping to big customers in Q4 2009 but it won't launch until Q1 2010.

Intel plans that one percent of CPUs i n Q3 will feature socket H support, socket B for Core i7 CPUs will be represented with miserable two percent while the clear winner is Socket T 775 for Core 2 and Pentium / Celeron CPUs with 91 percent. Six percent of CPUs won't have a socket, and all of them are Atom based.

In Q4 the plan is that Core i7 socket B drops to one percent, Socket H Lynnfield and Clarkdale to jump to 8 percent and socketless Atom will get to 9 percent. The rest will be Core 2 Socket T 775, with a market share of 82 percent.
