TC Mag found photos of the upcoming Lynnfield processor, this is a more affordable LGA1160 Nehalem chip that should be available by mid-2009.
Made using the 45nm process, the Lynnfield CPUs some in a Socket LGA1160 package, have an integrated dual-channel DDR3 memory controller and 8MB of shared L3 cache just like their bigger brothers, the Bloomfields (Core i7). But, enough technical thingies, let the pictures do the talking.
From left to right: a Lynnfield engineering sample, 45nm Core 2 Quad (Yorkfield) and a Core i7.
