Information about the upcoming releases of new intel processors in the first quarter of 2010. I'm wrong about anything, just tell me and I'll change it.
[B]JANUARY 7TH[/B] is the date the [B]Core i3[/B] and [B]Core i5 32nm[/B] chips are coming out.

[b]Q1 2010[/B]
[B]A chip commonly called as the core i9, is actually the core [u]i7 980X[/u][/B] is coming out in Q1 2010, no exact date right now.

On top of that, a chip that will replace the core i7 920, the core i7 930.

It may or may not be 32nm, we still don't know this.
Which chip is for you?
[B]LGA-1156[/B]
Core i3, Core i5 Dual cores (32nm)
Why would you want one? Well, you all remember the E8400. It is fast, it runs some games just as good as Q9550. The dual core 32nm chips overclock high, just like the e8400, but these have been seen to go above 4GHz. (I think up to 4.75?) If you don't need 4 cores, then you should get this. some have hyperthreading which gives you 4 logical cores, which may help a bit in applications that use 4 threads.
Personally, I don't like the "quad core is the way to go" statement. If you don't need or don't use more than 2 cores (4 logical hyperthreaded sometimes) then why buy a quad core? If you're a gamer/student or just a person who doesn't do 3d modeling/rendering, video editing, etc, then this is chip for you.
Although gaming may be going towards multi-threading nowadays, It might be a good idea to go for a quad. A dual core will still hold up pretty good, especially If it's clocked high.
[B]LGA-1366[/B]
Core i7 930 and 980X
The core i7 930 will simply be a core i7 920 that is clocked higher, and possibly 32nm. It would be a great buy for anybody who uses 4 cores (and 8 threads if you need it). If you are stuck between a i7 860/i5 750 and this, look up 920 vs 860/i5 750.
On the other hand, the Core i7 980X 6-Core (12 logical with HT) is very expensive, and isn't for everybody. It's not going to make your game run any faster. If you're doing heavy 3d editing/rendering, video editing, or any other program that uses 6-12 threads, then this chip is for you. If you benchmark, this is a good chip for that as well. They overclock very far and have a much higher BCLK wall, so if you want to overclock it, you'll have lots of fun.

:cheers:
I wish i could afford the i9.
You just gave google the biggest abortion. :v:
Very nice!
Owning even one of the i5's would make me happy.
I'll probably buy the 980X just to be a showoff :v:
I'll probably get an I9 unless it costs a shitl-
[quote]As an Extreme Edition chip, the Core i7 Extreme 980X 3.33GHz will likely be priced at $999.[/quote]
Fuck.
Wow, those Core i5's will work great on new games optimized to use all cores and old games that ran well on high clock speeds like P4's.
Nice, I think I'll use one of those i5's in my next build.
Is this the first time Intel have packed more HT cores than physical cores into a chip?
4 logical cores, or 2 physical, 2 logical, but there are still 4 total logical cores no matter what way you look at it. It's not 4 more threads, just 4 total threads..
Looking forward to benchmarks on the i3 if they are worth the buy.

I meant the chips that are listed as having 2 physical cores and 4 HT logical cores, adding up to 6 cores.

No, you're reading it wrong.
Its 2 physical cores with 2 logical cores each.

The chart is a little misleading.
[quote]The Core i3 models do not feature Simultaneous multithreading (SMT, formerly HyperThreading) and thus will only display two logical cores in Task Manager. On the other hand, all Core i5-5xx series and Core i5-6xx series models feature SMT support and will display four logical cores in Task Manager, meaning two cores with four threads.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Roast Beast;19125740]The chart is a little misleading.[/QUOTE]
Not really misleading, just people don't know how the difference between physical and logical.
[QUOTE=acds;19121504]I'll probably get an I9 unless it costs a shitl-

called it.
[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;19125759]Not really misleading, just people don't know how the difference between physical and logical.[/QUOTE]
Well misleading in that the column is labeled HT which might seem to imply that the i3 features HT.

Well, the 930 will be replacing the 920, but will it be similarly priced? Cause honestly, it is $200 at microcenter, and i really don't want the 930 to come out and have to deal with having to pay an extra $70 because i was a couple days late...
[QUOTE=Roast Beast;19125801]Well misleading in that the column is labeled HT which might seem to imply that the i3 features HT.[/QUOTE]
ahhhhhhhhhhh now I get it.
I'm just going to get financially ready for the i11.
[QUOTE=gRuKz;19135297]I'm just going to get financially ready for the i11.[/QUOTE]
Couldn't they just make the i10 faster?
something I've never quite understood, do programs utilise hyperthreading itself or do they just treat it as extra cores? e.g if, say, a game can use all 4 cores in a quad, with these 2+2 CPUs would it just be the 2 physical cores used or would it also use the logical cores?
or a possibly simpler explanation would be "is the reason games don't currently use hyperthreading be because it's extra cores or would it be because it's hyperthreading?"

According to wikipedia,
[quote]This technology is transparent to operating systems and programs. All that is required to take advantage of hyper-threading is symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support in the operating system, as the logical processors appear as standard separate processors.[/quote]
so I guess it would be "because it's extra cores".
how much is the i9, or i7 980x as you say, going to be?
