Intel to boost dual-core processor supplies in 2Q, will launch QX6850 in 3Q
Intel has scheduled to boost the proportion of dual-core processors in its product line up in the second quarter and will launch the quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6850 in the third quarter, according to sources at Taiwan-based motherboard makers.
Intel plans to boost the proportion of dual-core processors in its product lines to over 80% in the second quarter. However, with single-core Celeron processors still generating demand in the market, the company will keep 15% of its products as single-core processors in order to keep supply volumes normal and to keep pricing low to target emerging markets. Intel will launch a new Extreme-series quad-core processor, the QX6850, in third quarter. The processor will have a clock speed of 3GHz with support for FSB speeds up to 1333MHz. The CPU will be supported by the upcoming Bearlake-series X38 chipset, and 1000-unit pricing will be US$999 at launch, noted the sources.
