Hi there,
I was wondering if anybody knew how Intel tends to introduce a new series of Processors (e.g. Core 2, or Nehalem). What I want to know is wether they release the top models first or if they tend to launch a complete new line?
I ask this because I'm thinking of upgrading my machine somewhere near the end of this year but it seems somewhat silly to spend a load of cash on something (a Peryn?) I won't be able to upgrade afterwards. On the other hand it's also silly to wait for months for the latest and greatest only to realize that the new stuff costs 799$ and 999$ (which is more than I'm willing to spend on a CPU.
Kind regards,
Lyngvi.
