Computex
Intel told its partners that it plans to launch itsfastest Core i7 975 in Q2, but it never gave us more details than that. It lookslike the official launch will have to wait till June time, probably Computex.
We managed to confirm that Intel is gearing up for a June launch, and along with the Core i7 975 at 3.33GHz it plans to introduce a less excitingCore i7 950, the one that should replace Core i7 940, and the new Core i7 950will work at 3.06GHz.
Intel knows that Phenom II X4 955 at 3.2GHz cannot reallycompete with Core i765, the CPU clocked at the same clock speed, and thereforeit doesn’t need to rush the introduction of the new Core i7 975 CPU. However incheaper segments, we believe that Intel might be losing market share to AMD duethe great price/performance ratio of Phenom IIs.
