Intel touts new 32nm Westmere chips
Intel is starting to talk about the upcoming 32nm chips called Westmere. They are going to be a top-to-bottom family, everything from notebooks to 4S+ servers.
The new names you need to know are Gulftown, Clarksdale, Arrandale and Clarksfield. Gulftown is a six-core high-end desktop, the others are all two-core CPUs with integrated graphics. Gulftown and Clarksdale are desktop parts, Arrandale is mobile, and Clarksfield is a server part.
Probably the biggest thing is that Arrandale replaces the 45nm integrated parts with a 32nm core, but the GPU is still 45nm. While it still won't get out of its way, it is still the same mostly broken G45 core, you won't be able to get away from it. So far, there are no other ways to get a mobile part on 32nm.
