Roadmap: Q1 2009


Intel plans to introduce three new low power Quad cores and they will all fit under 65W boot which is much better than any quad-core today.


All three 65W quad core CPUs are Yorkfield, Core 2 Quad 45nm based and the fastest one Core 2 Quad Q9550s will run at 2.83GHz and it supports FSB 1333 and 12MB of memory.

The second in line is Q9400s clocked at 2.66GHz with FSB 1333 and 6MB cache support again it's a 65W, 45nm, Yorkfield based CPU.

The slowest one is Q9200s clocked at 2.33Hz with FSB 1333 and 4MB cache and they should all be available as early as January. The planet loving people will now have a decent quad-core that will save the earth and overclockers can hope that this lower TDP part should probably overclock better.
