Leaked Information Intel CPU Roadmap

It seems that a few more pieces of info on Intel's roadmap for the 2008-2010 timeframe have leaked to the web and, although they have not been yet officially established as accurate, some sites already jumped on publishing articles on the matter. Looking at the chip manufacturer's already confirmed plans, the leaked information seems to be reliable enough, at least for what Intel has in mind at this moment, but no one can say for sure that changes will not appear in the future.

An article published by PCWatch earlier showed a number of diagrams that presented some Nehalem breakdowns, and those interested in making a comparison between Lynnfield, Havendale, Westmere, and Bloomfield can take a look at them. The diagrams we attached to this article give more information on Intel's roadmap until 2010, as well as some specs on the Atom processor.

Intel has already launched strong value parts on the market, and E7300 (2.6GHz Wolfdale, 3MB L2) is one of them, although is seems that its projection on the “Essential” is not too accurate. Q4 is stated to bring Bloomfield for the “Mainstream 3”, and this will be the only Nehalem to launch until Q2/Q3 2009, when a full flavored Core i7 lineup is expected to burst. The Core 2 will be pushed to the “Value 2” area at that time. The Core 2 Duo technology seems to go into the Celeron segment after that, and the Nehalem line will cover all the other areas. The new Atom processors set for launch in Q3 2008 are also present in the diagram.
