Core i5 details leaked

Some of the details around the new Intel () processor called i5

For comparison, the Core i7 920 which ticks along at 2.66GHz retails for about $290 while the 2.93GHz 940 sells for $560. Given that the prices for the i5 parts quoted here seems rather high.

Like the Core i7 silicon, these pieces pack 8MB of L3 cache, and feature both HyperThreading and TurboBoost technology. The TDP is down from 130W that was standard for the i7 to a cooler 90W.

Sadly no triple core version but the lower heat output is nice.
