Plus, the chip giant's first glitch-free chipset for Sandy Bridge processors is due next Wednesday, according to a leaked product roadmap.

The first of Intel's 32-nanometer Atom processors will be released on Aug. 1 and the chip giant's newest six-core desktop engine, the Core i7-980, will be made available between June 26 and July 2, according to product roadmap information obtained by PCMag on Monday.

Intel will also officially release a new glitch-free Intel 6-series chipset, the Z68, on May 11. The roadmap, a list of products and release dates, also points to "speed bumps" for several existing processor families, including several Core, Celeron and Pentium chips.

Intel's Atom D2500 and D2700, codenamed Cedarview, are set to be released over a period from Aug. 1 to Oct. 31, 2011, according to the roadmap. Details on which of the two parts will be released on either date were not known, but the existence of the first date would seem to indicate that at least one of them will be made available in early August.

Intel has already stated publicly that it will release its next-generation 32nm Atom platform, codenamed Cedar Trail, in the second half of 2011. The new hardware will improve on currently available Atom products with Blu-ray 2.0 support, a dedicated media engine, better power consumption that enables fanless designs, and the inclusion of the Intel Wireless Music, Wireless Display, PC Synch and Fast Boot technologies, according to the chip maker.

The 3.33GHz Core i7-980 desktop processor is due to be followed by the even more powerful 3.6GHz Core i7-995X Extreme Edition sometime in the third quarter of this year, according to publicly available information.

Intel's Z68 chipset will be the first of its "Cougar Point" platforms to ship without a 3 Gbits/s Serial ATA bug that forced the recall of two Step B2 6-Series desktop chipsets and two mobile chipsets released in January. Intel did release several Step B3 Cougar Point chipsets for its latest 32nm "Sandy Bridge" processors in February that still had the glitch but also a built-in fix for it.

According to the roadmap, Intel is planning to release a slew of new 32nm processors on May 22 as part of the ongoing Sandy Bridge ramp. Slated for release in just a couple of weeks are the quad-core Core i5-2405S (2.5GHz) and dual-core Core i3-2105 (3.1GHz), as well as the Core i5-2310.

The roadmap also confirms a May 22 release date for four dual-core, 32nm Pentium chips—the 2.9GHz Pentium G850, 2.8GHz Pentium G840, 2.6GHz G620 and 2.2GHz G620T.

Several new 32nm Celeron processors are also slated for release from July 1 to Sept. 30. These include the Celeron G540, Celeron G530, Celeron G530T and Celeron G440.
