In Jan 2010, Intel will officially announce the new Clarkdale series of processors. In some reports found online, it seems that the new 32nm Clarkdale with integrated graphics core overclocks pretty well. In fact, it overclocks as good as it’s lynnfield counterparts.
A mid range 3.3GHz Clarkdale can easily be overclocked to 4.4GHz on AIR without much voltage bump. That is quite a good start for this new processor.
Below is a table showing the TDP and the Cache of the different cores under the Clarkdale stable :
Clarkdale processors are sold under both the Intel Core and Pentium brand names, with Pentium models having a smaller L3 cache.
| Brand Name | Model (list) | L3 Cache size | Thermal Design Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pentium | G6xxx | 3 MB | 73 W |
| Core i3 | i3-5xx | 4 MB | 73 W |
| Core i5 | i5-6xx | 4 MB | 73-87 W |
Here are pricing information of the new processors
i5-670 = $284
i5-661 = $196
i5-660 = $196
i5-650 = $176
i3-540 = $133
i3-530 = $113
