On January 3rd Intel will lift the media embargo on its first 32nm processors. The family dubbed Clarkdale will occupy the LGA1156 platform and be sold as Core i3 and Core i5. Even if we’re a month away from launch the first models have already been sighted in store. This time it’s the German etailer HPM-computer who lifted the curtain a bit too early.
It has listed no less than four different Core i5 processors based on Intel’s new Clarkdale architecture, and two Core i3 models.
What they all have in common is that they house dual CPU cores, HyperThreading support (some) and an integrated graphics circuit. The CPU cores are made with 32nm technology, while the graphics circuit has to settle for 45nm.
The prices of the processors are between 100€ and 250€. If these prices stand until launch day remains to be seen, but they seem pretty much on the mark.
