Intel Core i7
Posted on | August 13, 2008 | 8 Comments
Intel has formally confirmed that its upcoming line of Nehalem processors will still hold to the Core naming scheme.
Nehalem will be known as Core i7 for at least all its desktop variants, which will include dual- and quad-core mainstream processors as well as a 3.2GHz Extreme processor for high-end gaming desktops.
The first Core i7-based processors are expected to be released in the fourth quarter of this year and will be Intel’s first native quad-core processors.
It and will signal the comeback for Intel’s Hyper-Threading Technology following its absence from the original Core microarchitecture. This will enable the chips to handle up to eight software threads on the four physical processing cores.

Jamaipanese,
Hopefully, competition with AMD will bring the price down. Affordable processors for us mainstream users.
Hey JJ,
Thanks for the compliment. I already sent an email. Hope to hear from you soon.

It may not be affordable for the mainstream users right away, but this new chip will drive down the costs of the Intel’s current top-notch chip offerings.
A great consolation for now, methinks.

Awesome. If I put that in my system, I can play WoW lag free! But that’s not in my budget. It’s back to AMDs for me..

Sanjo-chan,
AMD’s offering is not that bad. Their phenom line up is only a tad slower (hardly noticeable) to Intel’s quad core.
