The next major changes from Intel, after all the changes in their CPU line in the last 6 months, is not expected until summer. Really? Is the quad-core out already then? Yes. The Core 2 Extreme QX6700 was released about a month ago. It is super expensive ($1700 at Newegg) and not all that widely distributed, but it is available. The quad core Xeon 5300 series is also theoretically available, although I'm not sure you can actually buy one just yet. Dell lists them on their websites but with their "May delay your shipping date" warning. /daytripper (no way Intel stands still for six+ months, son...) The biggest change will be the marketting change of the Quad-core desktop chips. Right now quad-core is only available as the Extremely Expensive Edition. Sometime in early 2007 Intel will release the Core 2 Quad that will push quad-core down to the high-end and maybe even into the top of the mid-range of the processor price/performance spectrum. However this isn't actually a *new* processor, more just a change in branding and clock speeds of the current top-end desktop chip. The only really new chip I would expect Intel to release in the semi-near future is a Core-based Celeron processor. Right now all Celerons are either based off the Pentium 4 architecture (all desktop and some mobile Celerons) or the Pentium M architecture (only for some mobile chips). Exactly when this Core-based Celeron will arrive and in what guise (single vs. dual core, desktop vs. mobile) is still unclear. My guess though is that it will be a single-core mobile chip first with single and dual-core desktop chips not arriving until Q3 or Q4 of 2007. As far as I can tell Intel has not released their 2007 processor roadmap yet, so we're kinda shooting in the dark on this one. -- Tony Hill hilla underscore 20 at yahoo dot ca Do they do such a thing?

Release a map? Of course. Actually, many maps, some for their customers (ie: companies that design systems around Intel components), and some for the media (the highly redacted versions ;-) /daytripper |

Name recognition probably comes into play there i.e. Pentium C2D. Celeron has always been the bin that all the budget chips have been tossed into and I agree that it is probably gone. The mobile Core Duos and single cores will probably all fall under the E2000 (maybe M2000 for mobiles?) category, along with the 1mb cache processors and single cores. The "D" I6xx EM64T series is probably dead too. Good riddance.......:-) Ed |

On the other hand "been around a long time" is not necessarily a good thing in the market, which likes "New! Dump your old, obsolete widget (even if it still works fine) and buy the new improved widget!" |

Yup, available he http://www.intel.com/products/roadmap/ They actually have other roadmaps that are not quite so publicly available as well and occasionally those will leak out to the media. -- Tony Hill hilla underscore 20 at yahoo dot ca |

IOW goodbye Celeron... http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...115223825.html My understanding was that BOTH Pentium and Celeron name would be used for low-end Core-based chips (Pentium first and then Celeron later). However such things are difficulty to keep track of, even for a geek such as myself! The biggest Intel change *could* be the dropping of P4 - why use the same name for the low-end chip? Quite why they contiinue with P4 is a bit of a mystery which *could* explained IMO by the fact that C2D was pushed out in panic mode... further supported by the paucity of useful docs available for it. The "Pentium 4" name has already been dropped. Intel got rid of the '4' part a little while back with the "Pentium D" and "Pentium Extreme Edition". Beyond that though, I suspect that they'll keep the Pentium name around for a bit for brand recognition. "Pentium" has to be one of the strongest brands out there, certainly when it comes to computer brands. -- Tony Hill hilla underscore 20 at yahoo dot ca |
