Intel is expected to release its new quad-core processor for desktops in days, at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Quad Q6600 chip is expected
to run at 2.40GHz, come
with 8MB L2 cache and use 1066MHz processor system bus. The new microprocessor is
projected to cost $851.
The 40th Consumer Electronics Show will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from 8th to 11th January, 2007.
The popularization of quad-core chips does not mean that Intel will cease to improve its dual-core microprocessors. Intel is projected to release Intel Core 2 Duo processors with E6850, E6750 and E6650 model numbers with 3.0GHz, 2.66GHz and 2.33GHz clock-speeds respectively and 1333MHz processor system bus in Q3 2007, when appropriate code-named Bearlake-series chipsets become available. The new chips will support TXT technology.
