The company said that the first products in this new family of processors, including an 'Extreme Edition' version, will carry an 'i7' identifier and will be formally branded as 'Intel Core i7 processor'.
The Intel Core i7 processor brand logo will be available for high-performance desktop PCs with a separate black logo for Intel's highest-end 'Extreme Edition'. In addition Intel will include processor model numbers to differentiate each chip.
Initial products based on this micro architecture are expected to be in production in the fourth quarter of this year. These processors will feature Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, also known as simultaneous multi-threading, and are capable of handling eight software 'threads' on four processor cores.
According to the company, products based on the new micro architecture will deliver high performance and energy efficiency.
