*June 3 Bearlake release
*Wolfdale debuts in Q307
*Yorkfield debuts Q407/Q108
*CPU with IGP will be 45nm and debuts after Wolfdale

Makes me curious is to how DDR3 is going to turn out! Even though I will probably drop in whatever quad core I can into this system when prices drop and add another 2gb of DDR2 and sit on it for a while. nice find!

In a shop not far from here, you can already buy Bearlake motherboards. They're in stock too, so none of the pre-order business.

Lyngvi.

Perhaps NDA will be officially over by then and X38 will show up? There are a couple reviews around, but maybe the big sites will follow up on June 3.

if what they are saying is correct about the CPU+IGP RD, then Intel is gaining a 1 year advantage over AMD in this integration, of course this is going to be in the form of a MCP (multichip package), unless AMD decides to go for MCP as well.

bearlake is available since 4th of may

I do recall this. Perhaps when Intel said after Wolfdale, techarp thought they meant a quarter after, thought they could've meant Nehalem in 2008.

I am tempted to wait until ddr3 latencies come down.

YA lol. 2GB DDR3 1066mhz at 9-9-9-23 timings - $600...

lol yea definitely, my 4gb i will have soon of DDR2 800mhz 4-4-4-12 should hold me over for a while I suppose!

So Intel will soon be over 12 months ahead of AMD on desktop technology Penryn vs X2 (Barcy doesn't make the desktop until Q4) that's not good for market share or the bottom line.
