Intel’s much awaited penryn based 45nm dual-core have finally made appearance in the roadmaps desktops. The processor has been codenamed as Wolfdale that is 45nm, dual-core part with a 65W TDP, as per the current generation of Core 2 Duos.
Intel had plans for Wolfdale and Ridgefield, two 45nm desktop parts due early 2008 with 3MB and 6MB of L2 cache apiece but due to unknown reasons, only Wolfdale has appeared. Intel has also firmed up a few more details on its quad-core Yorkfield processor, with it clocking in with a 95W TDP and apparently still on track for a (late) Q3 release this year. It is the 45nm successor to ‘Kentsfield‘, Intel’s current quad-core, 65nm design.
