Intel: Core i5 'Lynnfield' Still on Track for 2H'09.

Intel still giving itself a six-month window for release of Lynnfield. We know that IntelтЂ™s going to be bringing out a more mainstream iteration of its Nehalem technology, popularly known right now as Core i5. Amidst reports that Intel was delaying тЂњLynnfieldтЂќ processors and chipsets from July to September, we asked Intel for the official story. Expectedly, Intel didnтЂ™t offer any hard dates and stood its ground that things are progressing still as projected. тЂњWe have always said 2nd half 2009 for production for Lynnfield,тЂќ an Intel representative told TomтЂ™s Hardware. The talk surrounding Core i5тЂ™s timing started from a Digitimes report saying that processors and P55-based chipsets were pushed back by a couple months. The report also went on to list three Core i5 CPUs for launch: тЂњwith frequencies of 2.93 GHz, 2.8 GHz and 2.66 GHz and priced at US$562, US$284 and US$196 in thousand-unit tray quantities. All of them will feature a TDP of 95W. The P55 chipset will be priced at US$40.тЂќ Intel offered no additional comment on the above other than to call the report just a product of тЂњRumour and speculation.тЂќ
