Only last week Bill Calder, Intel corporate communications manager, tells in the Intel blog that the company is restructuring its brand portfolio, and already the news is out that Intel has confirmed of starting shipment in Q4. Intel apparently told some of its big clients that the company is pre-poning the shipping date from Q1 of 2010 to Q4 this year. The idea is that Intel ships these first IGP integrated GPUs to the OEMs by Q4 so that they can finish manufacturing the computers and be ready by first quarter of next year.

In this process, they have decided to skip production of 45-nanometer Havendale CPUs and will go directly to 32nm Clarkdale because development for the chips is going smoothly – as reported by Digitimes.

Intel decided to supply clarkdale processors with 32nm, and the chipset of these integrated processors will be released on 45 nm technology. The memory controllers, PCI express bus and DMI, and also the graphic core moved from the north bridge to the processor. Under loads, system on base of 32 nm processor clarkdale consumes not more than 65 W. Note that this energy consumption is not only for the processor, but also memory, and motherboard – quoting xtreview.

They are going to focus on the brand Intel Core in 2010, which includes the Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, and shortly available will be the Core i3, i5 and i7 processors. Core i3 and Core i5 are new modifiers and join the previously announced Intel Core i7 to round out the family structure. “It is important to note that these are not brands but modifiers to the Intel Core brand that signal different features and benefits.”- says Bill Carber. For example, upcoming processors such as Lynnfield (desktop) will carry the Intel Core brand name, but will be available as either Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 depending upon the feature set and capability. Clarksfield (mobile) will have the Intel Core i7 name.

Clarkdale will team up with the high-end Lynnfield to try to take over 18% market shares by 2010.
