discussion Intel six core 32mn on the way ;)

[Chilly]

Q1 2010? You guys realize that Q1 ends on March 31st right? So the 32nm chips could be a year away. Besides, from everything I've read, they should be drop in compatible just like the 45nm chips were on S775. :thumb:

So with that information cleared up I hope no one is holding back their i7 builds waiting for this. :haha: That said, it should be a GREAT chip when its out, imagine the crunching/folding power!

Huh, that's too bad. I'd read a report that said Q4 2009. Guess it got bumped since that one was printed.

Yeah it's pretty sweet that they're keeping the same socket! I just fear the price of these babies

 

[crispex]

Well, they can't go too absurdly high, because no one would buy 'em at all.... so let's just assume they'll all cost between... say, $1K - $2k.

Y'know. Cheap.

[/sarcasm]

 

[death_hawk]

Hey... if people bought PAIRS of LGA771 Extreme CPUs (QX9775?) at close to $2k PER....

 

[Neutronium]

Hexa core? What an unnatural number... Shouldn't they be making octo cores instead? Keep it to powers of 2 only.

 

[napier]

So is this gonna be a lga-1366 socket processor that will drop into current i7 boards? Do you think there is a xenon based version of this coming out as well?

 

[dmccaulley]

is this the i5 chip ive been hearing about?

 

[gingerbee]

no i5= socket 1156 i believe someone correct me if i am wrong
