Intel releases 45nm Core 2 Duo E8400 (Wolfdale)

05/27/08

Intel has released the Core 2 Duo E8000 series. The new series is based on Intel’s 45 nm fabrication technology which should give good improvements all over. Below is a quick comparison vs.  the older E6000 series that was based on Conroe architecture.

The new platform supports two Intel quad core processors and your choice of two ATI of NVIDIA graphics cards. The Dual Socket Extreme Desktop, a.k.a. "Skulltrail” is aimed at the high end gamer and  graphics professionals who are looking for a high-powered, expensive machine. Who really invented the Core 2 Duo -? Scientists are suing Intel over Core 2 Dou Processor 14/02/08 So who really invented the Core 2 Duo processor? Until now we all assumed that Intel scientists and engineers have been responsible for Intel’s Core 2 Duo processor. The Core 2 Duo is Intel best processor to date and brought a big jump in performance, speed and energy efficiency. But who really made the breakthrough?   MacBook Air with a Core 2 Duo that is 60% Smaller? 28/01/08 Jobs stole the stage again with the announcement of the MacBook air. The ultra thin MacBook Air will probably do to laptops what Motorolas’ Rzor phone did to cellular phones. No doubt Jobs managed to pull another rabbit out of his sleeve. Intel plans to launch Core 2 Duo E7000 series the low end Penryn processors 13/01/08 While AMD is still struggling and has defects with their Phenom chip, Intel is moving full speed ahead. Intel has completed the release of the Core 2 Duo E8000 Series the first Penryn (45 nm) Core 2 Duo mainstream processors, and now working on the Core 2 Duo E7000 series. The Penryn based Core 2 Duo E7000 series will be aimed at the low end market. Dual Core, Quad Core.. is Multi Core Processing really better? 02/01/08 Is multi core processing really better, or just the next computing myth? Only a couple of years ago the MHz myth was in its prime. Intel was telling us all that speed was what counts and the Pentium 4 kept on getting faster and faster (until we all ran out of battery power). AMD came along and taught us that speed was not everything. Micro-architecture counted to, and AMD proved that slower processors could out performed Intel and the P4. Intel’s Core 2 Quad E9000 series and Core 2 Duo E8000 series will be postponed till February 25/12/07 A disappointment for Intel shoppers this holiday season. Intel was set to release its highly anticipated Core 2 Duo E8000 series along with the high end Core 2 Quad E9000 Series on January 10th. It seems that we will have to wait a bit longer. What’s Next for Intel? Intel 2008 Roadmap - Montevina, Eco Peak, Silverthorne, Moorestown  & Nehalem 06/12/07 What next? That is the  question that everyone is asking. Intel has made the switch to 45 nm fabrication, Penryn has been released and Intel is rolling out new Core 2 Duo CPU’s right left and center. What we all want to know is what is Intel planning next? What can we expect in 2008? Core 2 Duo gets Penryn – new E8000 series based on Penryn 45nm 26/11/07 Now that Intel has released Penryn and has started the shift to 45nm fabrication (once again jumping ahead of AMD, which is having a pretty bad year based on it low stocks), all are wondering, how will this effect the Core 2 Duo processor family? Intel plans to release the Core 2 Duo E8000 series, the first of the Core 2 Duo Processors that will based on Penryn.  What will they offer? Better (i.e. lower) power consuming, larger L2 cache, faster FSB and increased speeds. Nothing that will really rock the boat, but over all better performance. Core 2 Phenom? Intel AMD working together on new CPU? 08/11/07 The Intel AMD war has been going on for years. AMD surprised everyone with a processor that performed better and taught us all the GHz weren’t everything. Intel took a while to recover, but when they did, the Core 2 Duo processor blew everyone away. The ongoing war can be summed up as follows: Intel has superior technology and is always one step ahead of AMD. Whereas AMD seems to be better with the micro-architecture and power performance. Penryn arrives–Intel’s Core 2Extreme QX9650 45nm CPU is here 30/10/07 The first Penryn CPU is here, the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650. A month after AMD released the first real Quad Core Processor based on the Barcelona architecture, Intel fights back with the industry’s first 45nm CPU – the Core 2 Extreme QX9650. What’s Penryn offering?

Return of Celeron – Intel revives the Celeron Name with Low End  Dual Core Core 2

18/10/07

Intel is reviving the Celeron processor. Both Intel and AMD are trying to catch the low end users which have been left out of the Dual Core revolution. Till now there have been no real low end cheap Dual Core processors. Intel decided to revive the old known name for cheap low end processors - Celeron.

Intel to Simplify Processors Brand Names

11/10/07

Intel Core  2 Duo , Intel vPro, Intel VIIV, Intel Centrino, Intel Centrino Pro, Intel Core Duo , Intel Core Solo, Intel Core 2 and yes lets not forget Intel Pentium. Those are just the brand names. If we throw in all the model numbers we have one major mess. It is no surprise that very few people can actually keep track of Intel’s processing world.

Core 2 Duo for Dummies - the Unofficial Intel Core 2 Guide

30/08/07

With over 30 Dual Core Intel processors out there, trying to decide on the perfect dual core Core 2 processor for you is a hard task. All those numbers and reviews and model numbers… Intel’s Core 2 Duo models numbers don't help the average buyer understand what he is getting (I still don't understand there model number system)
So we have gathered all the Dual Core Processors Intel makes (Pentium D and Core 2 Duo) in to one big table with all the specs that will make picking out your next processor a wee bit easier.

Intel Release New Core 2 Duo - Core 2 T7800

26/08/07

Intel is launching it new mainstream laptop/mobile processor the Intel Core 2 Duo T7800 on Sept. 2. The Intel Core 2 Duo T7800 will replace the Core 2 T7700 as the top of the line mobile processor for Intel’s Core 2 Processor line.

Intel Core 2 – Core 2 Duo processors to unified to Core 2

12/08/07

For the past year Intel has been releasing many different processors with many different names and numbers. To say the least it has been confusing. It seems that Intel has finally realized that having six different processor names with over a hundred models will get people a wee bit confused.
So in 2008 Intel has decided to unify all the different processor under one name – Intel Core 2. Core 2 Duo will be a name of the past, the Core 2 Duo Core 2 Solo and Core2 Quad will now all be called Core 2. Intel will also keep the Pentium alive - all different model of the Pentium will keep there old and trusted name.

Intel E2140 – Intel’s New Dual Core Pentium Processor

30/07/07

Is the Intel Pentium name really dead? What happened to the Celeron low end processor brand? It seems that Intel is renewing the Pentium name to replace the Celeron processors and go after the low end user market.

A while back, we started to hear rumblings of a “new” Pentium processor. While the Pentium had always targeted the performance crowd, it appeared that Intel would be taking the name in a new direction, pushing it to the value sector where their Celeron brand typically resided. As the Celeron name does not have a strong following, replacing it with an aging (but still well known) brand like Pentium does make quite a lot of sense

Core2 Duo Roadmap – Penryn 45nm for Notebooks, 6MB L2 Cache & ULV Solo Processors

01/03/07

Intel plans to continue rolling out new processors and is not going to let up on rival AMD. Intel’s latest road map shows that the CPU giant is continuing with plans announced over a year ago. In 2008 we can expect to see the Penryn Core 2 Duo – based on 45 nm architecture that will supply faster processors but use less power.
Intel’s new road map surprises with a promised 6 MB L2 cache Core 2 Duo processor. 6MB of L2 Cache should give a great boost in over-all performance.

New Core 2 Extreme Mobile X7800/X7900 & Santa Rosa Supporting CPU's in Q2

01/02/07

Both Intel and IBM have had breakthroughs in transistor fabrication process, so we can be sure that Moores law will continue to prove itself true. Now we know that we can look forward to smaller, more powerful processors that will consume less power.
Now that Windows Vista has finally been released to the public, it seems we will all need hardware updates to run Microsoft’s heavy new OS. (There really is no good reason to update and lots of reason not to, but lets face it, sooner or later we are all going to be running Windows Vista on our computers. Microsoft has always been the marketing genius.) So what does Intel have for planned for Q2?

Intel’s New Mobile Low Power CPU’s Core 2 Duo L7400 & L7200

18/01/07

Intel continues with its quite release of New Core 2 Duo CPU’s. This week Intel quietly released the Core 2 Duo mobile CPU’s - the Core 2 Duo L7400 and the Core2Duo L7200. Both CPU’s offer ultra low voltage which will increase battery time and performance compared to the older models.
The desktop Core 2 Duo CPU’s run on 34 W of power (i.e. TDP), which were a vast improvement over the old Netburst  / Pentium 4 power hungry processors. The new mobile Core 2 Duo processor will run on only 17 W of power. This will allow the mobile users to equip themselves with faster processors without comprising their battery time.
The Mobile Low Voltage Core 2 Duo Processors comes in two speeds. The Core 2 Duo L7400 runs at 1.5 GHz and the Core2Duo L7200 runs at 1.33 GHz. Both feature 4 MB of cache and a 667 MHz FS

Intel’s New Cheaper CPU - Core 2 Duo E4300 – New Allendale Core Micro-Architecture

11 Jan, 2007

The CES has proved to be more exciting than usual and as expected, Steve Jobs stole the show with his iPhone keynote speech. Intel on the other hand has started to release it Quad Core Processors.
Along with the new powerful quad core processors, Intel is also trying to get the Core 2 CPU's in to the low end CPU market (where until now Intel has been very successful with the Celron CPUs). Hence the E400 series and the new micro architecture - Allendale.
The Allendale micro architecture is based on the Conroe micro architecture found in all the Core 2 Duo processors. It differs in that the Conroe processors have been designed with 4MB of cache. Intel has disconnected 2 MB of cache on the cheaper processors the E6300 and E6400, but the physical cache is still there. On the E4000 series and the Allendale micro-architecture there is only 2 MB of cache to begin with. This saved Intel a couple of million transistors, thus reducing the cost of production which means that we get cheaper processors.
The E4300 is priced at $163 and Intel plans to make the CPU even more affordable in Q2 by reducing the price to $113.
So what are we getting for our money?
