Intel Corporation introduced several high-performance desktop and server processors today, bringing the next level of integration and intelligence to computers. The new Intel Core i5 processor family, two new Intel Core i7 processors and the Intel Xeon processor 3400 series bring Intel's latest Nehalem microarchitecture to mainstream desktop and entry server markets.

The new Core i7 and i5 processors are the first Intel processors to integrate both a 16-lane PCI Express 2 graphics port and two-channel memory controller, enabling all input/output and manageability functions to be handled by the single-chip Intel P55 Express Chipset. Previous Intel chipsets required two separate chips. A new Direct Media Interface (DMI) connects between the processor and chipset. The chipset supports 8 PCI Express 2.0 x1 Ports (2.5GT/s) for flexible device support. Dual graphics cards are supported in a “2×8” configuration. The chipset also supports 6 SATA 3 Gb/s Ports with Intel Matrix Storage Technology providing RAID levels 0/1/5/10. Up to 14 USB 2.0 Ports can be supported with the chipset's integrated USB 2.0 Rate Matching Hub, along with Intel High Definition Audio for premium digital sound. The new processors are the first to be supported by the new Land Grid Array (LGA) 1156 package and socket technology.

Today, Intel is unleashing Core i5 and Core i7-800 series processors, and the accompanying P55 Express chipset that supports these 'Lynnfield' processors to the market. These processors are largely based around the Nehalem architecture that launched in November of 2008 and cost less. Read on to find out more about them!

The new Core i7 and i5 processors that Intel launched today are the first designed to be used on the Intel P55 Express Chipset. A new Direct Media Interface (DMI) connects between the processor and chipset, so it should be interesting to see how these boards perform. Read on as we look at the Gigabyte GA-P55-UD6 and GA-P55M-UD4 motherboards.

Kingston Technology today announced it is leading the charge in memory support for Intel's new LGA1156 Core i5 and Core i7 systems by shipping super-fast 2133MHz HyperX running at a low 1.65 volts. The XMP-ready Kingston 4GB dual-channel 2133MHz CL8 kit is the perfect choice for ultra-enthusiasts who are ready to take the Intel Core i5 platform to the next level of memory overclocking performance. Kingston is shipping a family of XMP-ready HyperX products in different frequencies to support users of all levels who want to take full advantage of the Core i5 platform. Available in e-tail since late August, HyperX memory running at 1.65 volts are shipping in 4GB kits at 1333-, 1600-, 2000- and 2133MHz frequencies. In late September, Kingston will launch 8GB kits of two in 1333- and 1600MHz frequencies for users who wish to take advantage of 64-bit operating systems.

“Intel has worked closely with Kingston on testing HyperX memory for use with the Core i5 platform and P55 chipset,” said Geof Findley, Memory Ecosystem Manager, Intel. “We've seen great results from all of the Kingston memory especially the high-performance dual-channel kits. The combination of Kingston HyperX and Core i5 utilizing the Nehalem architecture brings unsurpassed performance for mainstream and enthusiast users.”

GlacialTech launched their latest CPU Cooler F101 which can support for Intel Core i7/i5 Processors on LGA775/1156/1366 and even AMD socket AM2 & AM3 platforms. The unique design incorporates a specially aligned sinter heat-pipe (combination of five pipes) that dissipates the heat from the CPU directly into the heatsink fins. From there, the Silent version's fan quietly and efficiently brings the temperature down. The CPU cooler comes with a 120 mm fan, which offers a unique shape, as part of the cooler hovers over the chipset.

GlacialTech has implemented a cost effective and useful way to keep your processor cool. When running resource hungry applications and you have the PWM version installed, turn up the RPM to manage your heat dissipation more effectively. While the PC is idle or doing non-intensive work, turn the RPM back to its own position. This is how you manage your power consumption, generating lower decibel of noise and gives you a peace of mind. Alternatively, the users have the option to purchase the Silent version as GlacialTech offers you the variety and options to suit your needs.

Supplies of Intel's G31 IGP chipset are expected to become even tighter in the fourth quarter of 2009 as Intel plans to reduce the proportion of the chipsets in its total shipments from 50% in the first quarter, to 25%, according to sources at motherboard makers. Intel said it could not comment on supply issues, but added it continues to work with the industry to meet demand for its products.

Although Intel hopes motherboard makers will transition to the G41 chipset, motherboard makers are unwilling to adopt the new chipset as its price is US$7 (US$4-5 for first-tier makers) higher than the price of the G31. Intel plans to raise the shipments proportion of the G41 to 25% in the fourth quarter. The tight supply of G31 chipsets has already caused a supply gap of around 20% in the third quarter and the percentage may reach 50% in the fourth.
