We've mentioned many times that Clarkdale, Intel's 32nm dual-core with 45nm IGP, should start selling in Q1 2010 and this was confirmed on many occasions by Intel.

Still, no one said that Intel won't start shipping these CPUs to OEMs a bit earlier, and we've found out that OEMs and other big customers should get Clarkdale in Q4 2009.

Intel plans that already in Q4 2009, the market share of Clarkdale will likely grew to a whopping 8 percent of its total CPU shipments.

In the following quarter, Q1 2010, when it also launches for retail, Intel expects that the Clarkdale market share can grow to 19 percent and surpass the volume of Core 2 Duo E8000 series.
