The new Intel Core i5 processor family, two new Intel Core i7 processors and the Intel Xeon processor 3400 series bring the company's latest Nehalem microarchitecture to mainstream desktops and entry server markets.
According to Intel, the new Intel Core Processors for consumers are designed for consumers who need top-notch performance for digital media, productivity, gaming and other demanding applications.
All processors are lead and halogen-free and feature Intel's exclusive Turbo Boost Technology. The top-of-the-line Core i7 processors also support Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. These features give computer users absolute "intelligent" performance when necessary and optimum power-efficiency when the computer is lightly loaded.
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.
