Intel: Desktop dual-core processor "Conroe" due in 2006

Intel provided a few more code-names of future processors during a briefing with financial analysts in New York. President and soon-to-be CEO Paul Otellini promised the desktop processor "Conroe" for the end of 2006. Conroe will succeed "Presler", which will debut as Intel's first 65 nm desktop dual-core in early 2006.

Otellini also outlined plans for the notebook chip "Merom" that will succeed "Yonah" (due early 2006) as well as "Woodcrest" for future workstations and entry-level servers.
