intel-core-2011 posts

Intel still is the number one maker of PC desktop and laptop processors and today, just ahead of CES 2011 later this week, the company officially announced its next generation version of its Core processors which until now were known by its code name Sandy Bridge.

Intel's official name for the processor family is the rather dull Intel Core 2011. It will keep the i3, i5 and i7 naming structure but, according to our sister site Engadget, there's a lot new under the hood, including putting the processor, memory controller, and integrated graphics on the same die. You can expect a ton of announcements from PC desktop and laptop makers, including gaming PC makers, this week about using the new Core 2011 processors.
