Upcoming Intel Mainstream LGA775 Product Line-up Refresh Leaked
Believe it or not, although the Core i7 processors have just became available, Intel won't be giving up on its LGA 775 product line-up. According to the trustworthy reporters at DailyTech, on January 18, Intel will launch three new Core 2 Quad processors with a TDP of just 65W. These will be the Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200s (2.33GHz, 4MB L2 cache, FSB 1333MHz), Q9400s (2.66GHz, 6MB L2 cache, FSB 1333MHz), and Q9550s (2.83GHz, 12MB L2 cache, FSB 1333MHz) models, priced at $245, $320 and $369 respectively. All three models differ from their brothers from the s-letter in their nomenclature. Intel will also launch a new 2.6GHz Pentium Dual Core E5300 processor in November of this year and one more, the 2.7GHz Pentium Dual Core E5400 on January 18th next year. The second CPU will be priced at $84 when available. Lastly, Intel's power efficient 35W processor lineup will also see some changes at the end of the year. The new T9800 (2.70GHz, 6MB L2 cache, FSB 1066MHz, $530), Q9000 (2.00GHz, 6MB L2 cache, FSB 1066MHz, $348), P9600 (2.66GHz, 6MB L2 cache, FSB 1066MHz, $348), T9550 (2.66GHz, 6MB L2 cache, 1066MHz, $316), and P9600 (2.53GHz, 3MB L2 cache, FSB 1066MHz, $241) will be released then.

for something topic related...the Q9550 will be 65w? say what??!
However, I have to wonder if the current price of DDR3 RAM played a part in keeping LGA775 alive with new CPUs. Price point is key to selling product after all.
EDIT: I guess Intel seems to notice the surveys that we want Core2 to stay as an awesome computing buddy, not to ditch for the 3x more priced i7 series. Either way, I'm waiting for Kingston and OCZ to start coughing out their financial trends with DDR3 and see a 1333MHz kit go under $50, then it will the time to upgrade to Corei7. After all, the 920 is more poweful that the QX9770 in some games which isn't a bad start...
i want high multi quads! gimme!
