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.
