According to our source, Intel are readying a lower priced quad-core processor series (Q8000) to go head-to-head with AMD's triple-core CPU's.
Intel will launch the Core 2 Quad Q8200 in the third quarter this year, supporting FSB up to 1333MHz, L2 cache of 4MB and a core frequency of 2.33GHz.
In order to separate the Q8000 series from Intel's Q9000 CPU family, the Q8000 CPU series will not support Intel's VT and TXT technology.
