Intel Desktop Roadmap Leaked
Intel's desktop roadmap for the next couple of quarters has been leaked and Electronista has the scoop, courtesy of Google-translated Japanese site Impress. Say hello to the value-market Core i3 CPU, which dumps the Turbo Boost OC feature in the i5 and i7 models. Core i9 (aka Gulftown) isn't in this roadmap and it's expected that Intel will issue a revision to work in the new performance king in Spring 2010.

The lineup is now believed to be headlined by low-powered S versions of the Core i5-750 and i7-860 that will run all four cores at 2.4GHz and 2.53GHz respectively; they should use just 82W of power versus 95W or more and fit into tighter spaces. Each will have 8MB of Level 2 cache, though the Core i7 chips will scale up to 3.46GHz where the Core i5 will stop at 3.2GHz.
