Gulftown (just one member of the Westmere family) is targeted at the HEDT segment, so a 6-core replacement of Bloomfield (Tylersburg-HEDT platform LGA1366).
Other members of this family are:
Westmere-EP, Westmere-WS, Westmere-EX (the segements are clear here)
Clarkdale and Arrandale MCP (replace cancelled Havendale and Auburndale with a 32nm CPU Hillel core instead of Gilo; Ironlake GMCH stays).
All Westmere-family (32mn) CPUs are compatible with previous (Nehalem 45nm) platforms.
Anyone missing the mainstream desktop/mobile (w/o GFX) segment in the Westmere family? Me too.. Haven't heared of anything here yet...
