Intel to release four new midrange desktop processors on Monday
By
Intel says it plans to roll out a bevy of midrange processors, all built on its new 45-nanometer manufacturing process, on Monday. Looks like the Q9650, Q9400, E8600, and E7300 will be on sale starting tomorrow, but if you look around today you can already find them listed for sale on retailers sites.
The Core 2 Quad Q9650 heads the list of updated chips, according to Intel. It has a core clock speed of 3GHz, a 12MB level-2 cache, a 1333MHz front-side bus, and is rated at 95 watts. Generally, the larger the level-2 cache memory, the better the performance. The front-side bus (FSB) carries data between the processor and other silicon.
