For some odd reason, *leaked* information seems to get me more excited. I don’t know, maybe its the “surprise” factor. Whatever the case, someone at Intel got a little trigger happy and jumped the gun by releasing info on a new processor, the E8700, on their knowledge base. The info has since been removed but Tech Report managed to grab some information before it was taken down.
- 3.5GHz clock speed
- 6MB cache
- 1,333 MHz FSB
- 65W thermal envelope
No price has been announced yet but assuming that this replaces the 2.33GHz processor price point, one could expect a price around $270.
