Intel processor roadmap leaked ahead of CES 2010
The former is an entry-level processor that lacks overclocking features and runs at 2.93GHz or 3.06GHz. The mainstream Core i5 comes in dual-core and quad-core flavors with Turbo Boost. The high-end Core i7 has all the features of the Core i5 while increasing the number of processing threads to eight (Core i3 and i5 have only four threads).
Also in the works, the top-of-the-line hexa-core Core i9 with a staggering 12 processing threads. Polish Web site PCLab accidentally published benchmarks of this impressive chip before it was removed at Intel's request. We won't go into much details as all these are still classed under the "rumor" category, but it won't be long till CES 2010 when we will find out if the leaked information is true.
