Since Intel will do its best to continue its tick-tock strategy to bring a brand new core every odd year and a smaller, yet derived one every even year, with this in mind you can expect P1270 process and 22nm products in 2011. Intel has already revealed this plan publicly and plans to stick with it.
Since this is not enough and Intel wants to keep winning, it plans to introduce P1272 and 16nm CPUs in 2013 and probably 11nm in 2015 and so on. One thing is certain, Intels roadmap and execution in the last few years has been delivered with deadly efficiency.gulftown:
top models of the Westmere program is code-named Gulftown and has no less than 6 physical cores, which through HyperThreading adds up to 12 virtual cores. To make room for all these cores, Intel has kicked out the integrated graphics, which doesnt fit into the high-end segment anyway. Gulftown looks to arrive at the start of 2010 while the mid-range, after. sO rEMEBER nAME: gULFTOWN. All While AMD hopes to Pop Up to 30% of ALL Mainboards Sales. Some of Them described here:According to AMDs latest plans, you can expect a new IGP chipset with AM3 support in very early Q3 2009. The new chipset is codenamed RS880 and it will be matched with SB710 Southbridge.
This chipset should replace AMD 780G with SB700 chipset while AMD 790GX will get a replacement at some point in Q4, called RS880D. The new chipset will feature improved performance of its DirectX 10.1 integrated graphics, additional power saving and enhanced Avivo HD technology.
The SB710 comes with 6 SATA 3Gb/sec ports, Raid 0,1 and 10, advanced clock calibration and 12+2 USB ports & another, due in 365 days:
the company will release SB820 . The new SB820 Southbridge will bring Gigabit MAC inside as well as SATA 3 with double the bandwidth, where you can expect a whopping 6Gb/sec per controller. This is one of the unique features of SB8x0 chipsets and SB850 will also share this neat feature.
Both Major Players Seem to be Striding Right to Cash Cow, Yet INTEL Seems to have Two Step that Could Blast consumer Desktop Beyond.Also, By Turning writings into one big paragraph Slur, Ultee' Hopes to Take Over Known World by 2013, Say Christmas.

6+ core 2.66 Ghz? Bleh. Can I just have a 5 Ghz dual core at stock speed, please?

coming near you in 2010.

AMD must release a 6 or 8 core CPU before Intel or that is it. I find that the first to release usually decideds the winner unless its as faulty as hell like the Nvidia moble gpus in which my HP has. Take the lesser 360 console, it got out of the gates first and had all kinds of hardware issues RROD, but becuase of M$ return and repair process it as remained the king and knocked sony on their ass even though sonys ps3 should be more powerfull. AMD must get out a six or eight core, thats it!

What does the 32nm delays got to do with the 45nm Nehalem Xeon that hasn't even been released?

Oh dear - looks like we have a new comment bot on the loose. Is Francois a new bot-pal of Drashek?

well, I think You, Mister my friend Nova takes a litte bit to lightly the break through required to do 32nm High K ...

Just to remind everybody ... it is possible to put several hundreds transistors with their interconnect into a Red blood Cell diagonal, The process technlogy people are designing and making parts that are smaller than the smallest Cell design by mother Nature ... How can you see any dissapointement into this?
Being able to say that you will produce this at the Human Kind scale is just purely amazing ...
