German store leaks 32nm Core i3, Core i5 details

Intel Clarkdale is taking shape - as we read on German's e-tail store there will be two lines of products based on Clarkdale core: Core i3-500 series and Core i5-600 series. The only visible differences between the two is lack of Turbo function, and we suspect that Core i3 won't be seeing Hyper-Threading either, just like the difference between Core i5-700 and Core i5-800 series.

Joint feature on all of the models is a single-die 32nm Clarkdale core with 64KB of L1 cache and 4MB of L2 cache memory. This silicon die is paired with the 45nm iGFX core on the same organic substrate. Yes, the very same Intel graphics core that's been criticized for years for its inept performance and doubtful compatibility. But with Intel clocking the core to as high as 900 MHz it will be interesting to see can a clock-upping strategy work and make a semi-decent performer or not.



As you can see in the table above, Core i3 line-up is consisted out of two products, Core i3-530 and Core i3-540. The i3-530 ticks at 2.93 GHz, both coming with integrated graphics core working at 733 MHz. The price for i3-530 is set at €84/$126 without Sales tax, while i3-540 goes for around €98/$147.

Does the i7 have an integrated graphics core?

Nope, only Core i3, and the new i5's.

Don't think I'll wait to upgrade to one of those, I'll just go with a phenom 2 x3 720 and call it a day
So, there won't be any 32nm quad core variants of i5? If that's the case I feel better going with the 45nm i5 750 for my family PC.
they've already shipped 200 million chips, not surprised.. they're probably out in Malaysia pretty soon/already.
So...core i5-650 for the price of an i7-920....pass.
I am curious how high these baby's will clock. There should be an IGP-disabled multiplier-unlocked version of this one.
i3 for my HTPC, yes please.
what can this gpu do exactly? how bad is it?
Ugh horrible GPU, no thanks Intel... Now they are really getting unfair peddling their crappy graphics chips.

Not sure. Most boards have integrated GPU'S already. My guess would be that it runs off a PCI/PCI-E x1/x16 slot. Who knows
I think it's kind of a stupid idea, but innovative at the same time.

These are very powerful chips. At these prices (adjusted for US MSRP) they are going to be incredibly competitive.
The i3's only look attractive for HTPC imho.
