Fastest Clarkdale 32nm to go over 3GHz

[micri]

3.5GHz?

Intel plans to introduce at least six different versions of Clarkdale CPUs and this 32nm Westmere generation CPU with Multi chip package 45nm graphics should work at speeds over 3GHz.


Intel plans that Clarkdale should replace the 3.33GHz clocked Core 2 Duo E8600 and in order to successfully replace a CPU you have to be the faster of two. We expect that top Clarkdale might run at 3.33GHz if not even at 3.5GHz or higher, as clock to clock Westmere 32nm CPU should be a bit faster than Penryn 45nm based Core 2 Duo.
