Intel's 32nm six-core Core i9 series processors codenamed Gulftown based on Westmere will also launch in the first quarter of 2010, the sources noted.

Also:
Clarkdale (i3), new Atom stuff in Q1.
Lynnfield (i5 / i7) this September.
Digitimes, FWIW.

How is this info new?

I wonder what clock speeds Core i9 will run at. Should be a nice upgrade to i7 if the TDP is about 95 watts, and clock speeds are about the same as i7 now. As long as its not EE only. 8-core i9 would be even better.
8-core Sao Paolo

Maybe it will get released for desktops too, lets hope AMD sees the light
bad news...I want i9 before X-mas!
Not news... and it will probably take Magny-Cours (12 core) to beat Gulftown.
Magny Cours should go against Beckton. Sao-Paolo will probably have higher clocks than Magny-Cours(less cores-more headroom). Sao Paolo is Gulftown's competitor ,but all will depend on frequency.Both will have DDR3 memory,AMD's part will be quad channel though.
Another server product being foistered upon desktop users by Intel, I hope Turbo boost works a treat.

I hope clock for clock will be better ( i7 vs i9) than current quads with ht. I already own a quad and it only shows a little age since it's first gen. if not, maybe I'll pick up an i7 next year for cheap.
Idk how to utilize this CPU honestly lol.
You must [not] advance.

Sweet, cant wait. They are 1366 as well right? So most higher end boards now should bring support for them with BIOS updates?

Will only be a slight improvement just like from 65nm core 2 and 45nm core 2, now if you want to load the cpu just run SMP folding@home on it (and join our team).
Personally, I'd rather see an 32nm version of Beckton on the desktop instead of this.

Nehalem is powerful as it is with 8 threads, 12 will be overkill, 16 is just unnecessary.
Perkam
Beckton is supposed to be 8 core,32nm and just 2 socket and up..
Gulftown should work in single and dual socket 1366 boards if what I hear is correct with just a bios update.
What's the matter with 16 threads?

As far as I know Beckton is made on 45 nm, is based on Nehalem and will have 24 MB of L3 cache. It's meant for 4 to 8 socket systems.Isn't beckton to westmere as bloomfield is to nehalem?

Correct but I was reading one of Intels handouts and it said from "2 socket to 8 socket" systems..

Beckton is indeed 45nm (apparently will move to 32nm at the end of 2010). What I want to see is a version of Beckton that is 32nm, and is drop in compatible with existing Socket 1366 DP boards (with the requisite BIOS update of course). Unneutered, with the full amount of L3 cache as the MP version...
....and unlocked multipliers too....

Strange how you and both want the exact same thing!Beckton is indeed 45nm (apparently will move to 32nm at the end of 2010).

So have you won lotto yet to pay for an 8 socket system?
