Intel “buries” one-nuclear processors
24 October 2007Intel Corporation plans in the first quarter of 2008 to proceed to production of the first binuclear Celeron processors and simultaneously to it start phase out production of one-nuclear chips for desktop systems. With a view to decrease the cost price, new processors will originally be made on 65-nm technology.
Clock frequencies of binuclear Celeron in comparison with existing processors will not change significantly. The first binuclear Celeron - model E1200 - will work on the same clock frequency, as one-nuclear Celeron D 420 - 1,6 GHz. Wholesale price of the chip will make $53 for a piece.
In the first quarter of the next year Intel also plans to produce a line of Celeron E4000 using 45-nm technology. The index of the first model is already known, it will be E4700. The chip will work on frequency 2,6 GHz, bus 800 MHz and will have L2-cache for 2 MB. Cost of the processor will make $133 in a bulk quantity. Number of the other model is not known yet.
At the moment personal computer manufacturers have already started to get rid of old stocks of one-nuclear processors.
- Intel develops the six-nuclear processor
- Intel have presented five new Xeon processors
- Intel is going to deliver six-core Xeon Processor by the end of this year
- Pentium E2160/2140 and Core 2 Quad
