One day we’ll look back at dual-core CPUs and wonder how it was we were ever able to get anything done with such primitive processors. Some users would contend we’re already there, proclaiming it’s quad-core or bust, but not everyone sees the value in more cores over faster clockspeeds. For those of you who fall into that category, start saving your pennies for Intel’s upcoming Core 2 Duo E8700 CPU.
At 3.5GHz, the E8700 will be Intel’s highest clocked Core 2 Duo, with the 3.33GHz E8600 nipping at its heels. Like the E8600, the 45nm E8700 will run on a 1333MHz frontside bus and come with 6MB of L2 cache. The new chip is expected to carry a TDP of 65W.
No word yet on a release date or expected price point, though don’t be surprised to find another round of Core 2 Duo price cuts when the E8700 makes its debut.

Today AMD launched its 45-nm Quad-Core Opteron line of processors, featuring low power consumption with high-end results. [...]
AMD today released five low-power and two high-performance processors for server builds. All seven of the new chips are updated versions of AMD’s 45nm Shanghai architecture.
"When we first came to market, we brought out the standard-power (Shanghai processors) because that’s where the bulk of our market is," John Fruehe, the director of business development for server and workstation products at AMD, said in an interview. "As always, we follow(ed) up fairly quickly with the HE, which are the energy-efficient models, and the SE, which are the high-performance models."
All five low power quad-core models– 2376 HE, 2374 HE, 2372 HE, 8376 HE, and 8374 HE — come rated at 55W ACP (Average CPU Power), which is equivalent to a 79W TDP, and run between 2.1GHz and 2.3GHz. The higher performance SE models — 2386 SE and 8386 SE — both run at 2.8GHz with a 105W ACP rating.
The new processors are available now in three new systems from HP and other technology partners.
