Intel May Release Core i7 975 In Early April

Several distributors and retailers are showing that Intel’s upcoming Core i7 975 will ship at the beginning of April, not the end of May. Is the Intel Core i7 975 coming sooner than we think? That’s what many distributors and retailers are reporting, and actually have the upcoming processor listed for next month. As an example, this website shows an April 6 street date, and this website shows an estimated date of April 7. Granted, these dates aren’t official, and are estimates only. However, it’s a huge jump considering that the Core i7 975 wasn’t expected to ship until the end of May.

The release of the 45nm Core i7 975 (Extreme) is a rather highly-anticipated one, as the quad-core Bloomfield processor will serve as the new flagship chip for Intel, boasting a core speed of 3.33 GHz, support for LGA 1366 sockets, uses 1 MB of L2 cache and 8 MB of L3 shared cache memory, and has a TDP of 130W.
