News is reporting that Intel will launch three new PC processors as part of
its CES activities on Monday. As expected, the desktop chip is called the Core 2
Quad 6600 and will join the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 model Intel already ships. The
new processor will run at 2.4GHz, and the front-side bus that links the chip to
the rest of the system will run at 1066MHz, the company is expected to announce
at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week. Also set to arrive are
two low-end Xeons, the 2.13GHz 3210 and 2.4GHz 3220. Both are designed for
single-processor servers. The chips have 8MB cache and a 1066MHz front-side bus.
Intel declined to comment for this story.
