Intel's New Chip Named Core i7
Techtree News Staff, Aug 11, 2008 0738 hrs ISTIntel's latest Nehalem series will be sold under the brand name Core i7 and is expected to the market later this year
Intel has just unveiled the brand name for its brand new processor. The Nehalem series, successor to the Core 2 Duo CPU series, will be introduced as "Core i7", and is expected to be commercially available towards the end of this year.
Intel said the new design will deliver both high performance and energy efficiency. "Expect Intel to focus even more marketing resources around that name and the Core i7 products starting now," said general manager of Intel's sales and marketing Sean Maloney.
Sporting anywhere between two and eight processors cores, the first chips will integrate a memory controller and come with Intel's QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) which is expected to provides a faster route for the CPU to communicate with system components such as a graphics card.
Intel is expected to add other identifiers to the Core i7 name as it launches products in the range. It is also expected to identify its high-end "Extreme Edition" parts with a black logo. Intel is also expected to release its laptop range of processors, based on the Nehalem, in the second half of 2009.
Further details about the new chips will likely be revealed at Intel Developer Forum (IDF), held between August 19th and 21st. Intel is then expected to talk about its system-on-chip (SOC) products as well, which will integrate a CPU, graphics processor, video and a memory controller into a single chip.
