Intel is expected to release four additional Core 2 Duo Processors on July 22nd, 2007. The release will coincide with that of the Intel Bearlake (x3x) chipsets. The new processors will be named Core 2 Duo E6550, E6750, and E6850. Processors with a number ending in "50" will have a 1333MT/s FSB. The processors will all have 4MiB of L2 cache. Their clock frequency will be similar to that of the already released processors with the same first two digits (E6600, E6700, X6800). These processors are slated to compete with AMD's Stars processor line and are therefore priced below corresponding processors with a 1066MT/s FSB. An additional model, the E6540, will be launched with specifications similar to the E6550 but lacking Intel Trusted Execution Technology and vPro support. Reported launch prices are as follows:
Model Clock Speed Price
E6540 2.33ghz >$163
E6550 2.33ghz$163
E67502.66ghz $183
E68503.00ghz $266
