Intel’s 65nm desktop CPU to ship Q1 2006

Intel’s first 65nm desktop chip will ship in Q1 2006 alongside its 65nm Pentium M, it has been claimed.

According to Taiwanese motherboard-maker sources cited by DigiTimes, the desktop chip is codenamed ‘Presler’, and will launch at 3.6GHz.

There’s many a slip twixt cup and lip, of course, so we expect that roadmapped launch window to be tentative at this stage. However, Intel has claimed on a number of occasions that it’s 65nm process is on schedule. That process will result limited numbers of ‘Yonah’, the first dual-core Pentium M and the chip giant’s first 65nm processor, ship late this year, Intel has pledged, ahead of commercial volumes some time in Q1 2006.
