The front runners of the computer community including wealthy computer enthusiasts are all impatiently waiting for the Bloomfield processors from Core i7 family to come out. Intel understands this situation very well that is why they haven’t released any new Core 2 Extreme processors for a while now: they could hardly interest potential customers who were expecting something completely different from the processor leader – new-generation solutions on Nehalem microarchitecture.

At the same time, more thriftful users who usually buy solutions with reasonable price-to-performance ratio, express purely theoretical interest to upcoming launches. The relatively inexpensive new-generation processors aka Lynnfield and Havendale should start selling in H2 2009 the earliest. Therefore, Intel continues to refresh the mainstream processor segment with new Wolfdale CPUs based on the latest 45nm second generation core with Core microarchitecture.
