This is wrong. You assume that the list of Westmere parts on that slide is exhaustive. It isn't. Intel themselves said there will be additional Westmere parts coming in 2010, and Anandtech (among others) said one of those will be a QC i5-equivalent part.Quote:

That 6C/12T 32nm looks yummy.
No..and from Anandtech.Quote:

that's wrong though. gulftown is six cores.

ahaa! I knew that face in the background looked familiar. :up:

Working and meeting those men is the reason I love working at Intel.
Think about it, if you take a red cell, you can put many hundreds of transistors and their interconnect in the diagonal of the red cell.
Those men create technology smaller than what Nature was able to do, smaller than the smallest Cell.
Those men are Material magicians, too many people forget about this. :up:
Drwho? are we gonna get a 32nm sneak peak anytime soon? :D
no no no no no no ... :rofl:Quote:

why not :DQuote:

It is tick-tock slightly altered allowing Intel to gain maximum possible from a n-1 process by extending its lifespan.
45nm will rule the middle for 3 years allowing Intel to get the $80B envisioned from 45nm products.Intel brought 4 45nm FABs online.You need huge volume to get ROI on that.While its US FABs are converted to 32nm, Intel needs to keep at least one huge 45nm FAB , FAB28 , full , thus it needs to manufacture large amounts of 45nm products ( Atom is close to irrelevant at over 2000 per wafer ) like CPUs and GPUs.
Major OEM disagree with both of you (and so do I), i never had a problem with pushpins and its more then adequate for the stock heat sink, its not intels fault that 3rd party cooler manufacturer use push-pins on there 2kg + tower coolers. :yepp:Quote:

Unlike some current Dual Cores, the 32nm are Native Dual Core and very modular, right? They can ship ultra cheapie with nothing but the Core, slap on a GPU and etc...., run a couple in tandem:DQuote:

With new sockets will come new chipsets. Intel will expand their 5 series of chipsets with new models for consumers and businesses. All Nehalem and Westmere based products use DDR3.
The Q57 chipset, codenamed Piketon, is targeted at businesses, while the P55 chipset, codenamed Kings Creek, is targeted at consumers.
I am surprise that none of you guys though about this:
http://techreport.com/r.x/2009q1/westmere_il.jpg
if you put some Ln2 on the CPU cores ... guess who is going to get some LN2 too ... and with Nehalem memory controlers, somebody will have a lot of fun ...
sorry for teasing ...
LN2 on what's essentially integrated graphics....why? :shrug:Quote:

Is the NDA under NDA again? :DQuote:

Most of integrated graphics need more BW, here , you have a mem controler that is the Nehalem one ... plus/Minus some details ... (not talking)
The same people were telling me I was a lier when we showed Conroe numbers for the 1st time, we all know how it ended up.
Don't assume we are stupid, it take time to understand, and then, even more time to design the chip. we understood 3 years ago, here we go!
You may get surprise...
no no ... the NDA lift date is under NDA, but since they is not NDA yet for the press on this one, this is an even stronger NDA of Death ... :ROTF:Quote:

His words to me:
"I have never seen a system at this starting stage that was so smoothe, and the power you simply won't beleive"
That's a quote, he wouldn't give me numbers.
I asked politely and he said he couldn't..
Now that Wolftown system looks interesting.:D
