Possible Core i3, i5, i7 Prices Leaked

[belardo]

Sigh.... Confusing model numbers and socket versions.... get an i5, no upgrade to i9... some i7 CPUs work on i5/i3 motherboards - so.... ugh what a bloody mess.

AMD Socket AM3 CPUS is all they are making now... and they work on DDR3 or DDR2 motherboards.

"All the new processors look like they'll be launched on the 6th September, with the exception of those with an asterisk, which are expected in Q1 2010."

This explains the asterisk, But can anyone clarify this for me? :

"The Intel Core i3s are probably Clarkdales without integrated graphics too, meaning that both Clarkdale and Lynnfield will span two naming families."

Integrated Graphics?! Is Intel going to introduce a "Fusion" alternative?

[citation][nom]scook9[/nom]the processor prices are not the problem, getting an i7 920 D0 for $200 at microcenter has been around for months. It is the motherboard prices that have people interested. P55 in particular[/citation]
Glad microcenters are all over the place. All 22 of them.

Definitely not, the i3 is a different architecture. Intel is releasing the low cost "1156" socket set. From what I'm hearing a new mobo will set you back about US$130 which isn't horrible considering the 1366 offerings.
