According to two reports on Fudzilla, Intel will expand their portfolio in the next quarter with the processors Core 2 Quad Q9505 and Pentium Dual-Core E6500. These processors never appeared on an Intel roadmap yet, though they will, as a trusty source confirmed to us, definitely launch in said timespan.

Fudzilla states, that the Core 2 Quad Q9505 will clock as his big brother Q9550 with 4x 2.83 GHz in the core and 333 MHz in the FSB. The only difference should be the decreased L2 cache from 2x 6 to 2x 3 MiB, which you can already find on the processors Core 2 Quad Q9300 and Q9400. The performance loss is quite limited, so that this Core 2 Quad Q9505 could indeed hold up to a Q9450.
The price is ought to be 212 USD.

According to our source's explanations, there shall also be a Core 2 Quad Q9505s. The "s" stands for a TDP lowered from 95 to 65 watt - the models Q8200s, Q9400s and Q9550s are theoretically available since the beginning of this year.

Besides, Intel will come up with the so called Pentium Dual-Core E6500 in the third quarter. It is ought to fill up the series started with the Pentium Dual-Core E6300 at the top by clocking with 133 MHz more at 2x 2.93 GHz. The FSB will keep at 266 MHz, the L2 cache at 2 MiB.
The price is mentioned 84 USD.
