Intel is counting down to the launch of its next-gen desktop CPU: Conroe will begin to ship to system builders in Q2 of this year with the official introduction to follow in late Q3. Details are already leaking out of Santa Clara - the chip will carry the sequence numbers E4000 and E6000 and arrive in six versions with clock speeds of up to 2.66 GHz. [TG Daily]
Intel will be offering six versions of the Conroe processor at launch:
- E6700: 2.66 GHz / FSB 1066/ 4 MB shared L2 cache
- E6600: 2.40 GHz / FSB 1066/ 4 MB shared L2 cache
- E6400: 2.13 GHz / FSB 1066/ 2 MB shared L2 cache
- E6300: 1.86 GHz / FSB 1066/ 2 MB shared L2 cache
- E4200: 1.60 GHz / FSB 800/ 2 MB shared L2 cache
- Conroe Extreme Edition (XE): Specifications unknown
It would be interesting to see how the upcoming processors from Intel and AMD would perform against each other, and also compared to their current processor lineup.
