Intel Readying Second Line Of Dual-Core Desktop CPUs

Intel is on track to release a second family of desktop processors using the technology in early 2006, according to a new road map. This is good news for all PC users as Intel is going to have a slow 2H of 2005 on the desktop side of things.

The new processors, which are code-named Presler, fit into the roadmap above Intel's first family of desktop dual-core processors, the Pentium D line, which was formally introduced at the end of May. The new Presler parts are designated the models 920, 930, 940 and 950.

"We're on track for delivery of Presler in the first half of 2006, most likely the earlier part of the first half," confirmed Intel spokesman Dan Snyder, in an interview. "It will be the next-generation dual-core processor using multichip packaging technology."
