Intel to ship it's new Core i7 in early April


Intel's new Bloomfield 975 processor seems to be coming to the market sooner than we had expected. Various websites such as this one seem to already have the new processor listed. Although quite unofficial yet, these dates are a leap considering this model was not supposed to come out until the end of May. Nonetheless, this new chip from Intel showed some big improvements from its predecessors as the leaked version was able to go up to an amazing 5,239MHz. Costing around $999USD and featuring 3.33GHz, support for LGA 1366 sockets, 1MB of L2 cache and 8MB of L3 cache and a whopping TDP of 130W, it will soon be the new extreme for hardcore gamers and power users.
Another chip Intel will be releasing shortly is the Core i7 950 which will be clocked at 3.06GHz and will replace the 940 for a more decent price of $562USD. Check back regularly for more news on these processor's releases.
