Intel has a couple of interesting processor SKUs set to hit the market soon, and while the company itself is keeping mum on them for the moment, the rumormill, as always, refuses to keep quiet. For enthusiasts, the dual “Devil’s Canyon” models will be of most interest, while for budget builders, the upcoming Pentium will be. Devil’s Canyon is a Haswell refresh targeting overclockers. The architecture under the hood remains the same as Haswell, but the package and thermal interface material are being upgraded for improved efficiency when the chip is being pushed to the limit.
