Intel has finally made up its mind and told to its special
few that it plans a new CULV. CULV stands for Consumer Ultra Low Voltage and
this time we are talking about V2, second version of this quite attractive
product.
The new CPU is a part of Calpella based platform and this
new dual-core processor is based on the Arrandale 32nm core. The name is Intel Celeron
U3400 and this is a dual-core clocked at 1.06GHz and with 18W TDP, but
unfortunately since it's a Celeron it won't support Turbo boost overclocking.
The 45nm graphics are a part of this package and they can overclock
from original 166MHz to 500MHz. It’s important to say that this processor has 2MB cache and supports the DDR3 800 memory.
You can expect this CPU to ship in some notebooks in Q3 2010 and we cannot help notice that the spec looks similar to Core i5 520UM and the big difference is that 520UM has Turbo and 3MB cache, while the rest of the spec is the same. Let's not forget that Core i5 520UM will also cost much more.
