New intel processors?

[R1C0CH3T]

I've been out of the loop for a while, am planning my next build. When will any new intel procs be coming out, less than 400 and oc like a beast?

 

[Sora]

Lol every C2D out right now OC's like a beast and there are 4 of them that are under 400. There will be I think 3 more that will be under 400 after the price cuts as well. All of these chips will OC amazing.

Keep in mind the Agena I believe it's called for AMD is going to be released and will be 40% faster according to AMD than the C2D.

i'm more looking for next-gen, like the "penryn" or amd's next gen thats 40 percent faster. when are those coming out?

 

[andrus]

Penryn won't come out for awhile.. Probably Early 2008. AMD's new chips come out late Q2-Q3 I think.

 

[R1C0CH3T]

q2-q3 of this year or 08?

 

[Sora]

new AMD are Q2-Q3 of this year.

 

[R1C0CH3T]
