ETA is H1/2010. Westmere with 6 cores, 12 threads with SMT. L3 increases to 12MB. L2 remains unchanged at 256KB/core.

Die size expected to remain unchanged relative to the 4-core 6MB L3$ 45nm Nehalem.

There is a lot more in the article, including on-die GPU, etc. Still reading, thought I'd post this now though so folks can dive in for themselves.
