Lynnfield is a successor to the chipmaker's line of Core i7 chips
Intel's upcoming Lynnfield processor will be in the spotlight at the Computex exhibition in Taipei next week, as hardware makers and computer vendors gear up for the release of the chip later this year.
Lynnfield is a successor to Intel's current line of Core i7 chips. The chips and motherboards that support them are ready to be released as soon as July, but Intel has told hardware makers to hold off on sales of the products until late August, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The release of Lynnfield will be followed by the release of another chip, called Clarkdale, at the start of 2010. Both chips use the same processor socket type, and will be supported by the upcoming P55 and P57 chipsets, called Ibex Peak, the source said.
