Core 2 Duo Official release date?

Hello,

I've seen reports varying from June 6 to late August/September for the
release date. Has anyone seen anything official from Intel yet?

I just saw the post below mentioning the release of the new chips - so let
me get this straight - the newest chips have a slower processor cycle time
than the current ones - 2.6 GHz will be the fastest chip the first release?

If you're talking in comparison to the Pentium 4/Pentium D/Pentium EE
family of processors, then the answer is yes, they'll be a slower clock
speed. The Core chips are closer in frequency to AMD's chips than to
Intel's previous chips.

Regarding the date Core 2 will come, I posted an article earlier today
about AMD's Socket F and Intel's Core 2 Duo. Core 2 Duo is due July 23rd.

Intel, in a press release on one of the computer review internet sites, said
that it would be released in July.

Later than Conroe. I've seen both "Q4 2006" and "Q1 2007" for woodcrest,
but that may be out of date.

What I've been hearing for about six months, consistently. I think this
is intel's publicly announced plan.
Woodcrest - July 2006
Conroe - August 2006
Merom - September 2006

www.theinquirer.org has been saying that it looks like Woodcrest will
even come out in late June, ahead of schedule. At least I think that is
where I read it. The previous poster is far far off.

Well, thanks, guys. I was hoping to build a Woodcrest system for a
project to be delivered in July, but I guess not. Dual-dual-core
Opterons it shall have to be.

Thanks again,

The new Xeon 50xx processors might be worth a look; they're still Netburst
cores, but they've got the new FSB and northbridge architecture that's
coming for Woodcrest - if I understand correctly, Woodcrest when released
will be a drop-in replacement.
