Intel Officially Launches 32nm Core i3, i5, i7

Very nice.
I can only hope the dual cores with an integrated GPU will help dramatically lower the price of motherboards to compensate.

I wish they would be gentle with the price on their mobile processors, or else people will just stick to core 2 duos.

The title of this article led me to believe a 32nm refresh of the i7 920 had been launched. Darn it to heck!

exactly what i have and exactly my thoughts.

why couldnt they have released the i3/i5 series first, THEN the higher i7 series?
it seems backwards for intel's newer developments to be slower, worse products.

it only confuses the consumer: how does the first gen. i7 series stack now against these NEWER, yet "lower model" cpus?

they should make the i7 9 series in 32nm now to make up for it.
screw it, ill probably end up buying AMD anyways for its value/performance

Every price point? I don't see a $99.00 cpu for those on a very tight budget!

[citation][nom]Yuka[/nom]Well, I got my Athlon64 X2 4400+ (@2.5-ish Ghz, FSB225, 2GB RAM, DFI LanParty UT nF4 SLI-D) with a Radeon 4890 and nothing seems to slow down for me @1920x1080. Just squeeze a little more juice from it and you'll be fine Cheers![/citation]


Ive got a 3800x2 @2.7 939 socket on a8n-sli. Things are adequate but I am looking to upgrade this year, 1st quarter. But I am waiting to see what the options will be from intel. I'm leaning to the i7 930 but I don't know what the prices are going to be.

Btw, am I missing something or is the amount of attention to the HiDef graphics lacking? and why don't we know the sockets? throw me a bone intel!

Alot of people posting on this page mentioned the i7 as a dual core, it's not. It's a quad core, and the way it's designed allows it to act like it has 8 virtual cores. So alost of applications will be able to take advantage of this technology. And the cheapest i3 is $130, which acts like 4 virtual cores, but has only dual core. Battery and power consumption reduced, performance increased.. Job well done intel!
