Intel Releases Seven More 32 nm Processors
US chip giant Intel has now added seven new processors to its portfolio, the Core i5-2550K, i5-2450P and i5-2380P targeting desktops, and the Celeron B815, B720, 867 and 797 for mobile PCs.
The Core i5-2550K costs $225 ($9 more than the i5-2500K) and features four cores @ 3.4 GHz (the 2500K has a base clock of 3.3 GHz), four threads, 6 MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 95W. The i5-2450P ($195) and i5-2380P ($177) have similar specs, expect their base clock is 3.2 GHz and 3.1 GHz, respectively.
The Celeron B815 has two cores @ 1.6 GHz, two threads, 2 MB of L3 cache and bears a price tag of $86, while the B720, which costs $70, has one core clocked at 1.7 GHz, one thread and 1 MB of L3 cache.
The ULV (ultra-low voltage) Celeron 867 and 797 cost $134 and $107, respectively. The former packs two cores @ 1.3 GHz, two threads, 2 MB L3 cache, whereas the latter has just one core @ 1.4 GHz, one thread, and 1 MB of L3 cache. Now bring on Ivy Bridge...

Damn it, Intel what took you so long?
Go go budget P67+i5-2450P!! (hopefully :o)
either they discontinue the 2500k and go with the 2550k or they just sell it at the same price as it is the same CPU more or less binned with a 'slightly higher' clock speed which the older 2500k can clock to anyway.
what a load of bullshit
Any word on having Turbo? If so, what's it clock up to?EDIT Upon looking it is 3.4Ghz, same as an i5 2400@FreedomEclipse
I felt the same way with the release of 2700k.
The way I see its a win for Intel, and keeps the money coming in. This means more R&D, so better CPUs and GPUs going forward.
The funny thing is, Intel will make more off of these mistakes, then AMD will on whatever it is they have.
But the pricing is a bit confusing. 100MHz is not cause for a price increase. Unless Intel is admitting that the IGP actually reduces the value of the chip. :laugh:

makes me wonder if we might be able to get it up higher like a sandy-E???
125-150 BCLK anybody??? :eek:
Removing the GPU part won't help any, it is really the PCI-E frequencies that kill you.
i wonder if Ivy bridge and the Z77 chipset will take care of that???
