Intel to release new OCTOGON processor
Intel just launched their their Core 2 Extreme Quad processor - amazing specs and and incredible price (I’m saying incredible because it’s tooooo much, their QX9775, the top of the range model starts from $1,600 and that is way to much). But that was not enough for Intel. They are at it again. They will launch a new generation processor by the end of this year called the Octogon.
We don’t have to much data about the Octogon yet, all we know is that it’s gonna be 2 quad-core processors in one, meaning 8 cores on the same chip. The Core4SE 4688 will feature a 38 nm technology, a L2 cache of 20 MB, front side bus 2200 Mhz and a clock speed of 5.66 Ghz (that is really sick). The new desktop processor will go into production this autumn and we expect to see it in stores by the end of the year - although I think it’s gonna cost a truckload of money.

The link ain't working....they probably will be slamming two quads together soon enough though. Maybe more boards with more than one CPU socket could happen too.
Whatever socket the next processors from Intel will be, they'll need some sort of fan beast:

I can't believe that last one's on sale for 40 quid; the bus is only* 800MHz though & I'm not sure how much that can be upped or if it's more board dependant.
*'only' as in bottlenecks, although to be honest 800MHz isn't that fast for a bus anymore really
Here's a link on a soon-arriving up to 8 core Intel (& more),

I have had some problem with the processor of my computer and i was looking information wich help me to solve this particular issue. I must to say in my search i found this blog resulting vere attractive for all the useful information contained here . I found another blog called costa rica investment opportunities very interesting. I wanted share it with you.
This whole information is absolutely useful and interesting. i like this blog because this blog is easily understandable, and that is invaluable to the readers. I wanted to buy viagra online, and i saw this blog. I think this information will be useful for me, because i want to know more about processors.
