WHILE AVERILL PROFESSIONAL and Fundamental are still slated for a Q3 release, Intel has notified its partners that it will introduce Weybridge Professional in the second quarter of next year That's emerged from roadmaps seen by the INQ, which also reflect Intel's continuing push of quad core Kentsfield, pulled in for an earlier launch date.More details at The Inq.
Intel has also started using superlatives to describe its desktop processors. For example, Intel Pro is "best", the Pentium D 900 sequence is better, the Pentium D 8000 is good, while the Pentium 4 500 sequence is entry. Yeah, we know the last isn't a superlative, but you get Intel's drift.
The introduction of "Bearlake" chipsets in the second quarter of 2007 means several flavours of boards using NCQ S-ATA drives supporting Microsoft Visa Premium. There will be Bearlake G and Bearlake P chipsets in Q2, followed by Bearlake X and Bearlake G+ in the third quarter.
