Confirming what everyone was pretty positive about in the first place, Intel has announced that its next generation of Core processors—code name: Sandy Bridge—will be hitting the market early next year for both desktops and laptops. They’re built on the same 32nm process as the current batch of Core guts, and more importantly continue the graphics integration that the Core i3, i5, and i7′s Achilles heel.

Not many more details are available yet, other than an unspecified performance and battery life boost.

So what’s the fuss? Our bet-  the oft-rumored Blackberry 9800 Slider, complete with an overhauled Blackberry OS 6.0.  It’s been a long time coming guys and gals, but finally the wait is almost over. We’ll be bringing you all the details in the coming days, so keep a lookout.

If you’re wanting to jump on the 6-core bandwagon without spending upwards of $1,000, the wait is almost over, folks. Next Tuesday, April 27, AMD is scheduled to release its Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition clocked at 3.2GHz, as well as a handful of other six-core processors.

Look for AMD to come out swinging with at least four different six-core CPUs next Tuesday, some of which are expected to debut with a 95W TDP.
