The quad core 45 nano quad hi-k "Extreme" Core 2 delivers "adrenaline" for " hardcore gamers" and media enthusiasts, said Chipzilla.
You are probably wondering what this means. What it means for sure is that Intel's confidence about being able to produce chips at 45 nanometres is correct. It also means that Intel is one and half process generations ahead of AMD. And it means that server chips are probably going to get cheaper, which can't be good news for AMD's bottom line.
The chips come with much larger level two caches and also support Intel SSE4.
Clock speeds go from 2GHz to 3.2GHz, while system buses on some of the chips go up to 1.6GHz, with cache sizes of 12MB.
