Intel plans to launch its first 32nm dual-core CPUs on January 3rd, and they should be available to its partners the same day.

They plan to launch Core i5 6xx series, all clocked above 3GHz, starting with 3.2GHz with Core i5 650 and finishing up with Core i5 670 clocked at 3.46GHz. Don’t forget that they all support Intel's Turbo feature that will get them overclock one or both cores and 3.46GHz CPU will easily go over 3.5GHz if not even close to 4GHz on some tasks.

This will just help Intel keep its dominance across the CPU market, as the new Nehalem refresh generation of CPUs simply looks great and this dual-core with integrated graphics will definitely be a darling of many OEMs and system integrators.
