Leaked Intel Roadmap Details New Fall Core CPUs
Wondering what Intel has planned for the rest of 2010 and 2011? Well, read on!
We've already seen laptops with Intel's new ULV Core i-series but it seems the company has quite a bit planned for this year. Engadget has uncovered and published an Intel roadmap detailing the chip giants entire fall collection.
Engadet reports that, aside from the previously rumored successor to the Core i5-540M (the 2.66GHz / 3.33 GHz Core i5-580M) and the Core i7-740QM/840QM, we can also expect a few more dual-cores at the end of the year. These will come in the form the 2.8GHz Core i7-640M (which turbos to 3.46GHz) and the 2.66GHz / 3.2GHz Core i5-560M.
Intel is also going hell for leather when it comes to Ultra Low Voltage chips. Q4 will bring us two 15W chips: a high-end Core i7-680UM (1.46GHz and turbos up to 2.53GHz) and a Core i5-560UM (1.33GHz / 2.13GHz). There'll also be a 25W Core i7-660LM that clocks in at 2.26GHz.
Engadget reports that all of these will have on die Intel HD graphics to tide us over until 2011 when we'll get WiMax, WiDi and Intel Bluetooth along with a new energy saving concept called Zero Power ODD. Zero Power will offer a power-saving sleep mode for noisy optical drives and enough battery life to play two Blu-ray movies on a single charge.

Come on AMD, release something that will benefit us, the customers. More competition is always better.
15W core i7 is impressive
AMD just getting left further and further behind....
AMD is dead, they should just give up instead of confusing the market with their continued pathetic existence.
Hurry up AMD and release magny corus!

I mean, the desktop version BEFORE 2012
AMD is dead, they should just give up instead of confusing the market with their continued pathetic existence.
The moment AMD stops selling cpu's is the moment Intel will increase its prices by 200 percent. Without competition, Intel can set whatever price it wants.

AMD i know for a fact is solely working on bulldozer its a rebuilt CPU (not a phenom) with a ATI 5770 video card ON die!, this is going to KILL intel in games and in photoshop, bulldozer will also work in CF with any other 5xxx series card and 6xxx series card using GPU parallisation.
The Bulldozer will Smoke the Core i7 and Core i9 in games, AND there is a rumour also that they are going to let the GPU do some FPU if this si true its good bye intel for the CPU performance crown, and its coming out Q1 2011

So what, I got money.

c'mon now... you deserve to be slapped. In anycase it is an interesting road-map, but none of it sounds spectacular (must have). but then again, I'm not into mobile platforms from either AMD or Intel, i thought this was the Desktop road-map when i opened the link, not the mobile.
Dude, go back to your Intel fanboy base. If you think AMD is crappy, have some logic behind it you clueless dolt. And don't respond with that Intel has faster processors bs becuase they both cater to different markets. And how theu f are they "confusing" the market? Its very existence is stopping Intel to have a monopoly on CPUs and therefore charging w/e the hell they want to.
Before you're so critical, try to be smarter.
Intel processors are roughly the same size as AMD, and perform a lot better. And i7 9xx and Phenom quad are very, very close in size. But, not in performance.
AMD is forced to be a bottom-feeder because of this reality, not because they chose to go after a different market. If they made a chip half the size that was cheaper, great. It's the same size, but it's just badly designed and has to be sold at low margins because it's inferior.
But, Killerclick is maybe more clueless. I don't know why he thinks AMD is confusing the market. Intel does that by itself. i7 860/870 cross i7 930. i5 670/680 cross i5 750. Some i5s are quads, some not. Some i7s are real Nehalems, some are Lynnfields. Then they have the i5 750s, which doesn't clock the same as the i5 750.
To me, AMD makes a Hell of a lot more sense than Intel.
No one was telling Intel to leave the market when they were producing the Pentium 4. AMD sells junk processors now, we all know that. We all knew that Intel sold junk with the Pentium 4. Did that mean they couldn't come out with something better? So why assume AMD can't? At least AMD knows they sell rubbish and price it accordingly. Intel was still overpriced when they sold the Pentium 4.

Clueless.

AMD is forced to make great, affordable, quality chips? Wow, how horrible for them. Apparently Intel could use some forcing too.
Ok, normally I'm able to swing with the punches when a company starts doing weird things with product branding and model number's, but this one is a bit confusing for me, so some comments or an explanation would be much appreciated.
I thought the "i7" brand was reserved for procs described as having quad/hexa cores with 8/12 threads, but if I'm understanding this article correctly, they're saying that now intel is making a mobile version of i7 that only has 2 cores?
I mean, I agree that sub-25 watt power consumption is impressive, but if this really is a dual core system then I wouldn't be surprised if someone ends up buying a laptop thinking they're getting the power of 8 threads at 25watts or less to then find out they essentially have half that power...
Your thoughts everyone?
So what, I got money.
More money than brains that's for sure. You speak through your @$$. Intel hasn't dropped its prices in what 3 years? Core2duo's are still the about same price as the originals.
Whatever happened to that Intel i9 CPU that was coming this year?
Edit: Just found out it changed name to i7 980X..
wow two full blu ray movies on a full charge is pretty good progress in terms of batter life and processor saving,how about heat from the laptop?
I mean, the desktop version BEFORE 2012
Magny cours is not bulldozer. It's still based on the AMD K10 45nm. The stepping is identical to the Phenom IIx6. So, I guess they already have. What you want is bulldozer and Zambezi.
If I am mistaken and magney cours is bulldozer, I am very disappointed with the performance per core.
So what, I got money.
Yeah, because everyone cares about you and how rich you are. You got the money to buy everyone else in the world a new CPU?

I was with you until this last portion of your analysis. AMD makes junk, really? Talk about clueless. Lower price does not = junk.
I'm a bit disappointed by this road map to be honest. I'm waiting for a Nehalem based Hexcore processor from Intel that is actually reasonably priced(sub $400) before I ditch my Q6600 and build a new rig. I was hoping the Phenom II x6 would push Intel but it doesn't look like that is coming any time soon.
I really don't understand Hardware fanboism. It's not like you directly interact with the product or anything like that. Buy what suits your needs best. If you need raw horsepower, get Intel. If you want performance on a budget, go AMD. I don't get fanboism over something that you buy and stick in your machine never to see it again.
When AMD stops selling CPUs, I start financing dogman1234.
Everyone likes to talk trash talk AMD because their pride is still hurt from the Pentium 4 and Pentium D era. They just can't let it go.

This is just the mobile roadmap, nothing about desktop here (not that the article says that).

Ah, missed the big "Mobile" in the title of the picture. That makes more sense then. Thanks!
a 15W chip... now that's 1337!!! I wanted to work for intel since I was in college, but the only thing I would probably come up would be a 1000W chip lol. Goooo Intel GOooooOO
I was kinda hoping by the title, this would mean more desktop cpu's. Oh well i guess. Atleast AMD might maybe do somethin about it in 5 years
ummmm CPU's not GFX cards lmfao
To the point, AMD needs to up the ante on their CPU roadmap, especially in their mobile lineup. It is without a doubt that Intel is dominating the desktop and mobile line up with AMD staying alive by being the value leader and not by pure performance. I have to say that I am extremely impressed with what Intel has managed to pull with their CULV processors and this roadmap I begin to wonder what relevance Atom will be in the near future.
