Digitimes reports that Intel will have their quad-core processor (codenamed "Kentsfield") ready for Q1 2007. At about the same time, rival AMD will debut its K8L series, a quad-core upgrade of its K8 architecture. The launch of Intel's 64-bit dual-core processor, the Conroe that will be included in its "Averill" platform for business desktops, will happen in September, following the June launch of AMD's Socket AM2 CPU offering, the sources noted. Despite Intel's late entry, its Conroe series will be manufactured on a 65nm process, as opposed to AMD's 90nm manufacturing node. Conroe is also expected to land inside the next version of Apple's PowerMacs.
