Intel has just announced two more processors and we'll start with the slower one, the Pentium E5500. This CPU is clocked at 2.8GHz with 2MB of cache and it's running on the old 45nm architecture. Of course, this CPU does not have Hyperthreading or Turbo Boost. The more exciting processor is the Intel Core i5-680 which is clocked at 3.6GHz. It has two cores and can be overclocked to 3.86GHz thanks to Turbo Boost. There's also 4MB of Level 3 cache and it has Hyperthreading support.
The Pentium E5500 will be priced at $75 in bulk and the Core i5-680 will be priced at $294 in bulk. These should hit some stores and PCs in the near future.
