The first 32nm desktop processors is coming in just a few weeks. The circuit known as Clarkdale, targeting desktop users. The equivalent circuit for the mobile market is dubbed Arrandale and will debut in the first half of 2010. Intel will announce three Arrandale processors for the notebook market, bringing both low power consumption and rigorous performance.
Update: An error had slipped into the table, but it has now been corrected. Ed.
The three models will be part of both the Core i5 and Core i7 Mobile families with base frequencies just north of 1GHz, which may sound a bit weak but thanks to the Turbo Boost technology it will nearly double when applications and power supply allows.
The processors sport dual cores and an integrated GPU that will reduce the overall power consumption of the system. The three models will be part of the Calpella platform and are expected to be as follows:
Processor | Cores/Threads | Frequency | Turbo Boost | Cache | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Core i7 640UM | 2C/4T | 1,20GHz | 2,26GHz | 4MB | 18W |
Core i7 620UM | 2C/4T | 1,06GHz | 2,00GHz | 4MB | 18W |
Core i5 520UM | 2C/2T | 1,06GHz | 2,00GHz | 4MB | 18W |
Price will be 305 USD, 278 USD and 241 USD in quantities of 1000. We hope to see the first processors in Q1 already since Intel really has something interesting coming for the mobile market.
