Well its like Intel is competing itself. Not much time the quad core processors drool the power hungry audience after the core 2 extreme series , the latest rumor about intel’s Penryn processor is gonna beat them all !! The Penryn generation will start with initially nine processors based on the 45nm fabrication process and will reach the speed of 4GHz in the end.
Quoting the article posted at softpedia
The new Intel offering will include both entry and middle level dual core processors and it will also bring some quad cores too. No less than five dual core CPUs are expected, all of them based on the Wolfdale architecture and reaching speeds of 2.66, 2.83, 3.0 and 3.16GHz. The last Wolfdale CPU will run at an unspecified clock speed. The second level of cache memory for all the dual core processors based on the Wolfdale architecture will amount to a total of 6MB.
On the quad core front, Intel plans the release of four processors based on the Yorkfield core and three of them will be clocked at 2.5 GHz, 2.66 GHz and 2.83 Ghz, while the fourth CPU will reach a higher but undisclosed frequency. The entry level processor running at 2.5GHz will come equipped with 6MB of second level of cache memory, while the higher end models will have 12MB.
Intel said that the Penryn class may very well reach beyond the 4GHz speed limit. It is said that Core 2 Duo processors are already running at 4GHz in Intel’s testing labs for quite some time now but the company choose not to release such a processor as it did not have a direct competing product on the high end market.
I hope these many announcements are more than enough for this year !!

whoaaa..that’s fast! I plan to have the quad one. I hope it will be released couple years later so mine won’t be obsolete right away lol
Thanks for stopping by eches , Its gonna release in Q1 2008 … I think after couple of years we might be seeing something like 5 to 10 GHz processors
Damn I was hoping it would release this october
any way dude I suggest you stop linking to softpedia and kznews both are spam sites especially kznews copies content directly from popular news sites. only Tgdaily looks like a legitimate site.
Another thing don’t link to so many people as the source you are giving away your google juice.
@arpit thanks for the suggestion. Will keep it in mind next time
