What and when will be the Intel 32nm quad-core CPUs?

[gevorg]

It seems Q1 2009 Intel's "tick" for the 32nm CPUs will be dual-core ones and six-core one. What about quad-core 32nm? Is Intel holding them until Sandy Bridge?

 

[tokie]

Yes. We won't see 32nm quad cores until Sandy Bridge.

 

[ilkhan]

what: sandy bridge.
when: H2'2010 or very early 2011.

 

[aigomorla]

Expect delays!

:x

 

[gevorg]

Oh well, I guess I'll just grab one of these dirt cheap Phenoms and wait until first price cuts of Sandy Bridge (~H1 2011).

Intel doesn't have the capacity for more 32nm chips, between clarkdale/arrandale and gulftown, they're going to be maxed out until the additional plants come online (and the first of which will add capacity, most likely, *just* for xeon chips.). Sandy bridge is probably going to be "done" before the capacity is available.

copy/pasted my reply from another thread.

Xeon chips work in X58. :X

Me wants a Sandy Bridge CPU in late 2010

 

[aigomorla]

and me wants beckton now. :T

Why not the Sandy Bridge EX.

I thought the 32nm shrink of Nehalem was supposed to be Westmere. Isn't Sandy bridge a new architecture?

 

[IntelUser2000]

Oh, yea I forgot. It's a joke obviously. But since Xeon MPs are always ~1 year later than the rest, I guess Westmere EX will be more likely.

I'm going to go for some Gulftown action.

too far.

Beckton is available now.

Been there.. done that..
I want moar~!

Because knowing aigo he already has an ES of it

New 32nm quad core (based on Gulftown).

 

[JFAMD]

Beckton is available now.

Where?

That's the 1st time I've heard it.
Does any other major site report this?
