Gamers and tech enthusiasts alike follow Intel’s Fall IDF conference in San Francisco, hoping to get some juicy news on upcoming technology. Intel has unveiled that their 45nm “Penryn” CPU, an improvement of the already superior Core 2 Duo technology, will launch on November 12, 2007. Initially it will be only quad core Xeon versions, but later this year gamers can look forward to cheap dual and quad core desktop CPUs, dual core going up to 3.33 GHz with 6 MB of cache, while quad cores will be topping out at 3.16 GHz with a massive 12 MB of cache. Plus a range of new improvements and better power efficiency.

1I was going to stick with AMD but now I see that I have to go with Intel … I will just wait until early next year to upgrade my PC … but I am still getting all the PC games early and playing them on medium settings … at least I will have a real reason to replay them all.

2I feel exactly the same way, I’ll wait until January/February before upgrading to new Core 2 Duo, new graphics cards and Vista (with SP1). Maybe even DDR3.
