Intel has been the cash sugar daddy these days, and when it comes to future plans, it all looks quite bright. The only thing that can mess up Intel’s new core 32nm Sandy Bridge architecture is the Bulldozer from AMD, but we still have to see it to believe it.

Intel’s consumer desktop platform based on Sandy Bridge is codenamed Sugar Bay. The key elements of this platform are Sandy Bridge CPU with graphics and Intel 6 series chipset. The CPU that will also fit in some all-in-one systems or small form factor machines is targeted to have 65W TDP with performance optimised quad-core, with Intel graphics.

Even in this market segment, Intel wants to continue with mainstream overclocking.

The platform should be ready to roll in Q1 2011.
