Intel 45nm Nehalem can go eight-core

Posted on Friday, September 19 2008 @ 6:32 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

FUD Zilla claims Intel is planning to release eight-core Nehalem processors on the 45nm process:

Westmere, Nehelem's successor at 32nm, will naturally also get to eight cores, but even at 45nm Intel can get to this quite unique product to market.

As you know, AMD has troubles releasing its 45nm quad-core, not to mention the eight-core, and today Intel is actually producing 45nm CPUs for about a year, while the competition didn’t even start.
