Am I right, or is it just a rumour?

I've been reading, but couldn't find any concise info. (i'm bit lazy

)

sounds like a rumor to me

why not the i3 is supposed to fall into the same preformance margin as the core2's anyway. REbrand them and save everyone the trouble

I'm not sure what you mean by "become" but I believe you are correct when you say you've heard that core 2's are being phased out for the new i3 line up.

I meant rebranding basically.

And by the way, are any 32nm Core 2 Duos coming out? LGA 775?

I would be so all over that!

 

[tagurtoast]

i hope they bring a i9 out cause imma jump on that

also i think if they are gonna make everything (i something) THEY SHOULD MAKE ALL THE I's use the 1366 socket and triple channel ram and the ex58 and the ich10r

nope

lga 1156

And according to what i read, the i9 has 12mb of l3 cache and integrated graphics on the chip itself...sounds fishy but if it does, it's going to be a **** ton

According to wikipedia on the Core 2 article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_C..._and_Rebadging

"Intel may also rebadge some Core 2 processors in the E7xxx, E8xxx, Q8xxx, Q9xxx and Wolfdale series as Core i3 processors, together with new Core i3 processors using the 45 nm Nehalem microarchitechture".

 

[procpuarie]

yes, all 45nm core 2's will be i3. i'm not sure about 32nm i3's. let me find an image explaining it if I can.

I know I saw an Intel roadmap that showed the 45nm Core2duos becoming i3's.

This is nice.

Does this create the possibility that we may see some new LGA 775 CPUs in the future?
