Intel Corp. has already begun producing its next-generation “Arrandale” and “Clarkdale” processors using 32nm fabrication technology. In early December the world’s largest maker of chips will initiate shipments of its new processors in order to ensure that end-users will be able to buy new systems on their base starting early January, 2010.

Intel will begin sales of its Core i3, Core i5 and Pentium processors based on Clarkdale design on the 10th of December, 2009, to distributors, resellers and retailers, who may then sell central processing units, mainboards based on Intel Q57, Intel H55 and Intel H57 as well as other components to OEMs and other customers. Intel’s goal is to have systems based on the new chips available for sale by January 7, 2010, a source with knowledge of the matter said.
