Do you know something I don't? Westmere's only chip that will compete with Thuban on a thread-basis will be the Core i9 Extreme Edition, estimated at $1500. There have been zero rumors that I am aware of regarding a cheaper launch product featuring Gulftown. The other chips are Clarkdale and Arrandale processors that will be more in line to compete with the Phenom II X3 and X4 processors.
