Intel's Sandy Bridge Info, SSD Roadmap Leaked
The next-generation Intel Core...core.
German site ComputerBase posted (and then later took down, but captured by Engadget) a few slides that could be confidential information from Intel presentations dealing with Sandy Bridge and next-generation SSDs.
Intel will be rolling in the 25nm flash in place of the current 34nm SSD offerings. This will be the basis for the Postville refresh for X25-M parts in 160GB, 300GB, and 600GB variants in Q4 this year.
In the enterprise space, Lyndonville will hit in the first quarter of 2011 in 100GB, 200GB, and 400GB sizes.
For CPUs, the naming scheme for the second-generation Core i processors will change slightly so that the Sandy Bridge-based products will be identified by the extra '0' digit at the end, e.g. Core i7-2600, Core i5-2520M.
Chinese site Expreview has made a chart of Sandy Bridge desktop CPUs based on its own sources.

bye bye 1366.
Someone please tell me the difference between the -K and non-K versions because I can't see it, personally. Unlocked multiplier?
Yes, K editions have unlocked multipliers but I doubt that means instant more overclockability since they don't go through the same binning process as Extreme Editions (could it be that the K editions are actually Extremes that didn't pass binning?)
Way to go on the naming scheme Intel - just when Core "i" couldn't get any more convoluted you go and add extra zeros!
Let's see what AMD do as concerns the Bulldozer naming schemes. I'm also interested in how their defective processors will turn out - triple core, 6-thread capable CPU anyone?
What is the difference between 1366 and 1156?
not everyone wants crappy intel IGPS taking up their die space, especially serious people who buy i5's and i7's that are obviously going to buy a separate graphics card >
Again new type sockets?
Intel is trying to rob customers for not being able to upgrade their system at all.
i will ditch this generation in favor of AMD for the second generation another socket ... this is exagerate money squeezing because they have no competition ... they should have sticked at the same socket
An AMD Phenom-II will do fine for me i have an old "heater" aka prescott... and if time comes i'll just make a drop in upgrade with a hexa core but i don't think i'll need that much power ...
What is the difference between 1366 and 1156?
umm 210?
seriously though, for general purposes 1156 is as capable as 1366, unless your running multiple graphics cards (less pcie lanes on 1156). in the current lineup, i3's and i5's are 1156 and the i7's are 1366 (there may be a couple of exceptions to that!)
no doubt someone will pick this post apart, as it is rather generalised and simplified!
i wish intel could make their numbers actually mean something, without having to look at a chart to see what they mean.
well they dumped one pin and call it a new generation...
When the second generation comes out i expect a platform improvement not jumping on a new socket and adding a real questionmark on the whole thing and making it a pseudo "second generation"...
new PCI Express isn't out yet and it's fully backwards compatible so i don't see why they need a new socket, tho the hardware interface for the new PCI-X is frozen there'd be firmware improvements thus for me it seems unjustified to make these changes thus the new socket...
PS:Why isn't there am edit feature ?
You need to click on the forum link to perform any edits.
To be fair though, AMD is bringing out a new revision of AM3 for Bulldozer... but you can still use it on the current boards.
When AMD brought out AM3, it resulted in a reduction of 2 pins thus allowing for AM3 CPUs to go on AM2+ boards (such as in my case). Intel's solution is less elegant and rather costly considering how much you need to fork out for an Intel board in the first place.
Trouble is we think Intel actually care about custmers - WRONG! All we are are the means the generate more profit and they are obliged to manipulate us in any way they like to maximise profit for their shareholders. They do NOT NEED to pander to us as they own the market. Remember the number one rule in marketing, "DON'T BOTHER GETTING THEM BY THE B**LS IF YOU AIN'T GONNA SQUEEZE!"
Consider yourself squeezed! ONCE AGAIN!!
