Intel: A dozen new Core-i and Celeron processors

Intel: A dozen new Core-i and Celeron processors

With the Celeron versions G540, G530, G440 and G530T at list prices, 37-52 dollars Intel completes the palette of Sandy Bridge processors for desktop PCs at the bottom. At the same time appear for LGA1155 motherboards still new Pentiums (G630/G830) and with i3 and i3-2125-2130 two dual cores and faster with the i5-2320 is a quad-core, "gap filler" below the i5-2400. The 35-watt dual-core Core i3-2120T in turn runs 100 MHz faster than its predecessor equally expensive i3-2100T. Also lowers the prices of some Intel processors with lower power consumption slightly, the core concerns i5-2500S/2500T/2405S/2400S and 2390T.

Intel brings new notebooks for high-end quad-core: The Core i7 Extreme 2960XM as the version with an open multiplier is clocked at 2.7 GHz to 200 MHz is also higher than the 1096 U.S. Dollars 2920XM expensive predecessor, the Core i7 2860QM (568 U.S. dollars) is at 2.5 GHz to 200 MHz before the 2820QM. Also still appear the Core i7 2760QM and the dual-core Core i7-2640m.

The new desktop PC Celerons are (almost) the first of the Core-i-series: the first generation of Core-i for the 1156 version there was only one Celeron version for OEM customers, because Intel would initially have the 775 version for cheap PCs continue. Now the product range for LGA1155 complete and ranges from about 31 € in this country from selling single-core Celeron G440 at 1.6 GHz and 1 MB L3 cache up to around 250 € expensive quad-core Core i7 with 3.4 2600K GHz, 8 MB L3 cache, Hyper-Threading and an open multiplier. With the i3-2130, there is now a dual core at 3.4 GHz.

Interestingly, Intel sees so far apparently no need to introduce even faster-LGA1155 quad-core, although reaching the closely related Xeons E3-1280 E3-1290 and already 3.5 and 3.6 GHz. But still the more powerful Core i7-900 series with up to six cores for 1366 board is currently, the alias Core i7 LGA2011-replacement-3900 is slow in coming.
