Will we see any more Quad 775 CPU`s soon ?

As title says or is it all I7 now and no more for 775 chipset

PaulyD · 13 May 2009 at 17:48

Very much doubt any new 775 chips will be coming out but haven't seen intel's roadmap. Would imagine next chip release will be the i5 series

Yorkfield is as far as the Core 2 architecture will go, so all you will see is derivatives and their lineup looks pretty full already.

There are no new 775 high end chips on the horizon, everything high end will be 1156/1366 socket.

Yeah, i5 is next.

milkinc13 · 13 May 2009 at 20:22

isn't i5 only a setpping stone for i7, and so won't be around for long?

jolie77 · 13 May 2009 at 21:29

I will never be your stepping stone........... great song

No. Its the mid range offering. I7 is meant to be for enthuasiasts only.

Don't forget the biggest percentage of cpus are sold in the like of Dell, HP etc to businesses and home users who don't really care what the cpu is.

i5 cpu's and more importantly the mobo are much cheaper than i7.

Any news of when the i5 is due? I havent seen anything pop up about it in months.

AMG · 14 May 2009 at 06:27

I heard of a shirk of the I7 to 32nm and maybe a new socket for that other wise no

haven't heard anything of i5 through

mjones1 · 14 May 2009 at 06:49

i5 is due around october

nightmare99 · 14 May 2009 at 09:13

Socket 1156 /i5 chips will be the first desktop cpus on the 32nm process, the 1366 cpus wont get 32nm until later.

croggy · 14 May 2009 at 09:21

yeah 1366 32nm are meant to come Q1 2010? 6core 12 thread mazin

linktoinsanity · 14 May 2009 at 09:36

I wouldn't have thought we'd see any new Core 2 Quad based cpus on the socket 775 based chipset. However, I would not be surprised if Intel released more low-end cpus for it, as until socket 1156 is released, socket 775 is the current lower end socket.

And gets phased out in november

croggy · 14 May 2009 at 10:16

i wonder how good these i5's will overclock though? being 32nm n all? what do you reckon?
(sorry for hijacking your thread)

Really? From everything I have read i5 is the mainstream desktop format and is the first to get 32nm cpus and is on Intel's roadmap until at least 2011????

It basically comes down to i7 being the highend multi core stuff (6 core coming out next year)and i5 being the lesser end stuff.

I5 has cheapness going for it but no upgrade path to quad core and above so is limited but expect to see lots of pc's based on i5 for some time.

It will have some people buy it though as it will be the first 32nm cpu and is reported that the top end i5 cpu comes at 3.6Ghz and should perhaps overclock very well.

Other news is that we might see i5 as early as July:

Seems as though it may be possible that P55 motherboards compatible with Intel's Core i5 CPUs (Lynnfield) may actually start shipping in July.

Core i5 processors are based on the same Nehalem architecture that Core i7 is based upon, but come equipped with integrated dual-channel DDR3 memory controller as well as integrated graphics. The graphics will be based on existing Intel graphics solution, and not Intel's work-in-progress Larrabee.

On that note, many motherboard manufacturers are already showing off samples of LGA 1160 socket based motherboards, anticipating that Intel will begin to ship its LGA1160 CPUs sometime in July. These P55 boards will be the first to support Lynnfield Core i5 CPUs and will support the Clarksdale CPUs as well. This is good news for consumers who want to pinch pennies, as the Corei7s are not flying off store shelves as many have hoped and the cheaper Nehalem more than likely is a better financial choice.

It's speculated that many of these P55 motherboards will make an appearance in the final form at Computex in June, one month before Intel is suppose to release Core i5 CPUs. Of course, Intel may very well push back the release date, thus forcing motherboard manufacturers to do the same, as Intel originally said the chip would launch in late 2009.

Socket LGA 1156 (I5) will get replaced with socked LGA 1156B(APU support) in mid 2010. The first batch of I5 will have a VERY short lifespan, and next to no upgrade path.

My november crack was sarcastic, but not that far off the mark.

Ah I see

I suppose it will limit early adaptors if you plan to go for a later i5 cpu with intergrated graphics.

Not so sure how good these will be though and how much this matters.

I suppose if your into upgrading your computer often then the i7 platform is the one to go for.

If you just want a decnt performing all round pc which matches AMD on price but outperforms it then i5 has it's market.
