True I am talking maybe nehalemC . More likely Geshner . Nehalem2 is suppose to scale to 16 cores Geshner 32 cores. I think there's a very good chance . As in theory there could be a dedicated compiler core. We know there's shared cache now . There' room for dedicated cores to do what ever intel wants. using CSI .VLIW(epic) is a strong possiability
