Intel Unveils Part of its Roadmap

In a recent conference, Intel provides details about its future products: - The Itanium, the very high end server CPU from Intel will be updated in H2 2008 and will reach 2 billions transistors, while featuring 4 cores and 30MB of cache. According to some rumours, Apple might be using it in some "high-end" Xserve models which could replace the Cluster Node models discontinued when the G5 CPU was dropped. - Intel will release a 6 Cores-based CPU in H2 2008, named Dunnington, it will feature 1.9 billion transistors and 16MB of L3 cache. - The Nehalem, aka the successor of the recently release Penryn, will be manufacture in Q4 2008. An 8MB shared cache will help communication between cores. Each core will sport a 64KB L1 cache as well as 256KB L2 cache. The Nehalem should be available as 2 to 8 cores-based CPU. Its cache will be faster than the current one in Penryn, and the Hyperthreading technology will enable 2 logical cores for each physical core. - In 2009, the successor of Nehalem
