Core i7 release dates leaked!
Core i7 code named Nehalem could be released by November 2008. Intel have not confirmed this so far but reports are stating the launch dates are around late q4. Not only have the release dates been leaked but pricing of these processors follow.
The following specifications are the first three chips based on the bloomfield core which is the main stream version of the core i7 processor.
Intel Core i7 920 (mainstream) 2.66ghz, 4 cores, 8 threads, 45nm process
Intel Core i7 940 (mainstream) 2.93ghz, 4 cores, 8 threads, 45nm process
Intel Core i7 965 (extreme) 3.20ghz, 4 cores, 8 threads, 45nm process
All processors come with 256kb of cache per core and 8mb of l3 cache shared. The starting price is $284, $562 and $999.
The leaked information states that the 965 is an extreme version I beg to differ just because there are no 8 core processors available even though Intel stated that the Nehalem was based on this fact.
