Intel Core i5 Lynnfield Details Emerge [Windows 7 Ready]

Specifically designed as an affordable alternative to Intel’s latest CPU architecture (the powerful Core i7), the new Nehalem-based Core i5 CPUs– codenamed Lynnfield, are expected to upgrade the new processor lineup sometime in mid September. Using the 45nm technology, available in quad-core and dual-core versions, and just in time for Windows 7, rumors have it that the Core i5 processors will be optimized and will run great on the new OS.

First leaked in April, the new Core i5 CPUs are supposed to clock at 2.66GHz, 2.80GHz and 2.93GHz, and should be priced at $196, $284 and $562, respectively (for thousand-unit tray quantities). But if that’s too spicy, there’s also an entry-level Havendale processor that will be introduced in January next year.

Since Intel didn’t bother to confirm any of these, we’ll have to wait before we know more about the new Core i5 processors.
