3.2GHz "Conroe" gets confirmed by Intel
Intel representatives just contacted DailyTech with the following information:
The Core 2 Extreme processor (Conroe based) will ship at
2.93GHz at Core 2 Duo launch. We will also have a 3.2GHz version by
end of the year. And as you know, the Quad Core enthusiast
SKU, Kentsfield, is planned for Q1'07.
Several days ago, we published details of Intel's Core 2 Duo roadmap, although the roadmap did not have information about a 3.2GHz Conroe. Intel's Extreme Edition processors typically launch at a $1,000 USD price point, and then are quickly phased out in time for the next generation.
The 2.93GHz Conroe processor will ship as the Core 2 Duo X6800 processor. Previous Intel roadmaps have also confirmed that the launch date for Conroe, the desktop Core 2 Duo processor, is slated for July 23, 2006.
