Intel To Launch New Core i5 580M Processor Later This Year

Intel To Launch New Core i5 580M Processor Later This Year:

Thanks to the magic of leaked roadmaps, word is going around that Intel is planning to refresh some of its processors this fall, most notably the introduction of the Core i5 580M chip which should succeed the existing 540M. Such a move would bump the clock speed from 2.53GHz to 2.66GHz while still using the same 35W of power. Turbo Boost would also scale higher, going from the initial 3.06GHz to 3.33GHz, along with a faster 766MHz integrated graphics core over the current 500MHz variant. Are you planning to hold off your notebook purchase and wait for the new models powered by this processor to appear, or are you unable to play the waiting game?
