If loose lips sink ships then those mobo vendors in ol’ Taipei could down an armada in a single lunch break. As the Bismarck goes under, we’re learning that Intel’s socket 1156 Lynnfield chips are edging closer to a September 8-11 introduction.
Intel has previously granted Lynnfield an ambiguous autumn launch window, but recent rumors emerging from the Orient have helped to cement a day. These rumors are not entirely unfounded, as it is mid-July and the ducks better be lining up if the world’s largest processor company hopes to launch on time.
Parts alleged to be on tap for the launch include:
- Core 2 Extreme (2GHz)
- Core 2 Quad P2 (1.73GHz)
- Core 2 Quad P1 (1.6GHz)
- Xeon W5590
- Xeon W3580
- Xeon W3550
- Xeon L5530
Meanwhile, other publications have reported that the enthusiast mainstream parts (screw you, Intel branding) will clock in at 2.66GHz, 2.8GHz and 2.93GHz.
