Intel's new release: Core 2 Quad Q7500

Intel is planning to fight back against AMD not only with price cuts but also with a new release, that of the Core 2 Quad Q7500. Made using the 45nm process, the Core 2 Quad Q7500 has a working frequency of 2.6 GHz, a TDP of 65W, a FSB of 800MHz and just 2MB of L2 cache, half the size of Q8000 series models and six times less than the Q9x50s.

The L2 cache size is small, the Q7500 may end up a very attractive part depending on its price tag which should be under $150. There's no info on its release date though so we'll have to wait for Intel to make a move.
