On January 5, 2006 Intel presented new dual core processors Pentium D 900, followed by Pentium Extreme Edition 955 a few days later (January 16). These processors are based on the new Presler core, which is the first processor core manufactured by the new 65-nm process technology. The history repeats itself — as in case with the transition from 130 nm to 90 nm process technology, the first solutions are desktop processors with NetBurst microarchitecture. Mobile platforms are announced only a tad later, based on processors manufactured by the new process technology. At the same time, there was a much longer period of time between the first 90 nm Prescott and Dothan than between the 65-nm Presler and Yonah (we have already reviewed them) — it's quite possible that the new 65 nm process technology will be easier to master.
