Santa Clara (CA) - Intel is set to introduce its next-generation micro-architecture with the Core i7 processors, previously code-named Nehalem, at a media and analyst event on November 17 in San Francisco.
The vent runs under the headline of “the fastest processor on the planet” and will feature three different quad-core (Bloomfield) models: The 2.66 GHz Core i7 920 will aim for the sub-$1000 class of PCs, the 2.93 GHz Core i7 940 for substantially more expensive PCs in the $1500-$2000 range and the 3.2 Ghz 965 Extreme Edition at enthusiast PCs.
The tray prices of these CPUs are $999 for the Extreme Edition, $562 for the 940 and $284 for the 920. Expect retail prices for these processors to be at least 10-15% higher.
