FUD Zilla received word that Intel plans to launch the Core i5 520 later this quarter, this is a dual-core chip with 1.06GHz frequency and 1.86GHz Turbo mode. In the third quarter of this year the chip giant intends to release the Core i5 540UM, this part will have a 1.2GHz clockspeed, 2GHz Turbo mode, and 18W TDP.
This is not bad for more affordable processor with graphics that will run between 166MHz and 500MHz when overclocked. You have to love the 18W TDP as this will allow some great performance and battery life with these machines.
