Are there new QuadCores coming out soon??

Like we just got the Intel Quadcore qx6800 Tester at work?? what else is coming out, I was right bout to buy a QX6700, I'll wait if its soon?? Links? dates??

Thanks guys
 
The Yorkfield, which is the 45NM quad core part with the unified L2 cache is supposed to be out third quarter I think, but I haven't seen firm dates.

I've been researching this myself as I want to build a high end Vista rig in the next six months, but it looks like Q1 2008 will be the time frame for Barcelona (AMD) and Nehalem (Intel) with are next gen, the Yorkfield is just a die shirk.

You can web search, my links are old and I haven't seen any definitive dates yet.

yorksfield is 8-core, not 4. Penryn is 4 core, coming out in april i think. Q2 of this year, so around that time, we'll see penryn's and wolfsdales.
 
cant we just decide. so for a q4 upgrade spending around $300 on a cpu what would u get?
what will the quad line up be by q4?

Harpertown which is the server DP variant is suppose due out Q4 2007 as the improvement over Clovertown which will have reached 3.0GHZ/1333FSB by then and will likely introduce 1.6GHZ FSB.

On the desktop side, were looking at a Core 2 Extreme launch of Yorkfield likely in H2 2007 this year, with 1.33GHZ FSB, and mainstream Yorkfields sometime later, probably at 3.33GHZ/1333FSB for the extreme variant as we will have a QX6800 by then. There is no plans for 1.6GHZ FSB on the desktop side.

Nehalem is much further away, at H2 2008 earliest, and that will engage if AMD's roadmaps are correct, 45nm Quad Core's from AMD.

Way to early, were still on track for Q3 2007 refresh for Conroe on 1.33GHZ FSB, nevermind any 45nm cores. There will be no members of the Penryn family at the earliest till H2 2007 this year. There are also no plans for 8 Core derivatives based on Penryn on desktop, as Yorkfield is an upgrade to Kentsfield with More Cache, SSE4, and a host of other moderate architectural improvements. Penryn itself is a mobile Dual Core, the upgrade to Merom, there are no plans in place for a mobile Quad Core from Intel at this time on the Penryn family, perhaps Nehalem.

By the end of Q3 for sure were going to have the Q6600 at $266US, it is unknown at this time if any new mainstream product introduction will happen in Q4, as QX6800 will be the top dog in Q3.
 
I want to build a new system like now, is the QX6800 close enough to wait?? why im asking this is because we just got the QX6800 Test Proc at work... So when will it come??
 
wow i didnt know there was a QX6800 in the works!
Interesting,maybe i should be getting ready to sell this one i have here before that comes out
Intel is really kicking it man

Not as early as you think. I'm sure you've also heard that Intel is planning to release a new family of processors every year. It's worth discussing about them, since we'll be seeing them soon.
 
Penryn will be a 45nm die shrink + enhancements to 65nm Core 2 uarch. Higher clocks, better efficiency (higher IPC), larger caches (6MB/duo - upto 12MB per CPU), SSE4, 1333 FSB, split load cache enh, fast radix 16 div / improved virtualization (VT).

"Second Half 2007" and 3Q 2007 are dates that have been mentioned, but we'll have to see. I'm hoping it works with motherboards that support quad processors and 1333fsb. It sounds like there will be new chipsets with "dual fsb" support (one per duo in a quad,) although that may be for workstation / servers only, desktops may stick with single fsb. I don't think we'll see 1600fsb on day 1, but it's probably in the cards. In any case, there will probably be new intel chipsets released with Penryn.

Just as I said on the AMD side about Barkie and its newer motherboards. We'll NOT want our current stuff when Bearlake hits the streets. Many folks will want the motherboards more than the processors. Just the *newer 65nm chipsets are wayyyyy better than the hot assed i965 or the power draining nVidia models LOL! I look forward to this more than any of the processors eventhough the processors will rock as well:) P38X will kick ass I bet!
