[bige420]

Have you guys heard any word on when the i3's are going to be released. I'm probably going to be upgrading my computer around December and I was hoping the maybe they would be out by that time.

core i3 will be January 2010, they are not rebranded core 2, this is Intel not Nvidia.

That's a very stupid article, the guy who wrote it knows nothing about CPUs. Just because it has 2 cores, doesnt mean it's the same a core 2 duo.

For one all the i3's are running on hyper threading and they will be using a completeley different architecture.

I do believe that they could've done a better job with their naming, it still doesnt matter about the names it's all about your performance

And you should expect i3's to come out December - January. Definatley before the end of the year.

The official release date for Intel Core I3 processors is the 21st of January in Australia.

I can't speak for other countries but I can absolutely guarantee the above.

Hope this helps.
