Intel to come out with budget Core-2 based dual core Pentium
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...115223825.html
Intel Corp. reportedly plans to scrap the introduction of mainstream single-core microprocessors based on the Core 2 micro-architecture and reportedly plans to introduce dual-core Pentium E2000 family in mid-2007 instead to target market segments of mainstream computers, the reports claim. The forthcoming Pentium E2000 family will initially consist of two processors – Intel Pentium E2140 (1.60GHz) and Intel Pentium E2160 (1.80GHz) – both based on the Conroe 1M core and produced using 65nm fabrication process, according to a news-story by HKEPC web-site. The new dual-core chips will have 1MB of unified level-two cache, will be compatible with 800MHz processor system bus, will support 64-bit capability, execute disable bit, Intel’s Enhanced SpeedStep technology and will have 65W thermal design power. |

Well, that'll certainly allow them to make a profit out of their yields. Yousuf KHan |

I was under impression that Intel is dumping the tainted Pentium brand in favor of Core. Netbust was supposed to be Pentium end of the road. Branding Conroe based CPU a Pentium would be quite a twist. NNN |

Branding Conroe based CPU a Pentium would be quite a twist. I don't know if the branding is accurate or not, but calling the Pentium brand "tainted" is quite inaccurate. The word "Pentium" is probably the second strongest branding of all personal computing (behind only "Windows"). While a few of us tech geeks might remember some issues like the original Pentium floating point bug or the lackluster performance and high power consumption of the last Pentium chips, the brand as a whole is HUGE. I'm sure that if you hang around a computer shop for a few hours you'll hear more than a few customers ask a salesperson "what sort of Pentium does this computer have", regardless of whether the computer uses a Pentium-branded processor or not. ---------------------------- Tony Hill hilla underscore 20 at yahoo dot ca |
