Intel Sandy Bridge-E to Continue using Core i7 Branding
Avoiding adding more confusion by introducing more CPU ranges.
No Core i8 or Core i9, thankfully!
The new processors are slated to launch in the last quarter of the year. There will be at least three of these new Sandy Bridge-E processors launched, two of them 6-core unlocked processors and a quad-core partly unlocked processor. Sketchy details that one of the 6-core core processors with 10 or 12MB of cache will operate at 3.3 or 3.2 GHz. The quad core model will run at 3.60 GHz and will have 10 MB of cache. The new processors will run on a new LGA2011 socket using Intel’s upcoming X79 chipset. The processors have quad-channel memory support as well. Intel is confident that their new line of processors will be able to provide stiff competition to AMD’s 6-core Zambezi processors.

He's also a fan of all things obscure, case in point, Live for Speed (sic). Never heard of it? We rest our case. In his spare time he tries to teach our new joinees the tricks of the trade even though the blood sweat and tears, but give him a camera and all things forgotten.
