Intel Lynnfield rumoured for September launch

Reports claim early data on Intel's upcoming releases.

Intel has updated its chip roadmap, it would seem, with a couple of reports popping up that include release dates and other details.

Digitimes seems to have gathered up the most information and spills all in a report on the upcoming schedule. "Intel's three Clarksfield CPUs - the Core 2 Extreme XE 2GHz, Core 2 Quad P2 1.73GHz and Core 2 Quad P1 1.6GHz - will be ready to debut sometime around the end of September and October of 2009", it said.

According to the same report the desktop friendly Lynnfield CPUs and P55 chipsets will be "announced between September 8-11". Coming closer to actual release are the server-pitched Xeon W5590, W3580, W3550 and L5530 CPUs, which will be out in August along with the P55 chipset, it said.

Meanwhile, TechConnect Magazine has chipped in some more in-depth information, telling us that Lynnfield chips have been clocked at "2.66, 2.8 and 2.93GHz, [are] made on 45nm, come in an LGA 1156 package, have an integrated dual channel DDR3-1333 memory controller, 8MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 95W."

None of this has been confirmed, or explained, by Intel, which usually chooses not to talk about unreleased products and hasn't returned a call seeking comment by press time.

Thankfully the people it does speak to don't adhere to the same rules.
