Roadmaps reveal launch dates for upcoming Intel products

DailyTech has come across a roadmap outline Intel’s launch plans for the next couple of months. Intel next week will launch five new products. At the beginning of the week Intel plans on silently releasing its Pentium D 925 processor. The Presler based Pentium D 925 is clocked at 3 GHz on a 1066 MHz front-side bus with 4MB L2 cache. Unlike the previous Pentium D 920, the 925 lacks Intel Virtualization Technology. Intel will finally release its dual-core Xeon 3000 series processors towards the middle of the week. Accompanying the Xeon 3000 series processor launch is Intel’s Kaylo server platform and Intel 3000 Mukilteo 2 and 3010 Mukilteo 2P chipsets.

While the Xeon 3000 series and Intel 3000/3010 chipsets will have a silent launch, Intel plans a high profile launch for its new storage products. Launching the same day as the Intel Xeon 3000 series and 3000/3010 chipsets are three new storage products. Intel will launch Sunrise Lake, Val Vista and Chevelon products. Sunrise Lake is a single chip SAS and SATA controller with an integrated storage processor while Val Vista is an SAS/SATA controller. Chevelon will be a high performance system-on-chip processor that’s based on a 90nm Xscale core, possibly replacing Intel’s previous i960. This completes Intel product launches for September.

October will be a quiet month for Intel, with the only product releasing being a Celeron D. Nevertheless the Celeron D 347 is expected to silently launch the fourth week of October. It will be based on Cedar Mill with a 3.06 GHz clock speed on a 533 MHz front-side bus. L2 cache is bumped up to 512KB from 256K found on current Prescott based Celeron D’s. Intel Enhanced Memory 64 Technology and Execute Disable Bit are supported with the Celeron D 347.
