Thanks to leaked presentation slides we now have details on some 8 core CPUs being developed by Intel. Intels Development Model shows that both the Westmere and Sandy Bridge line of processors will be fabricated with 32 nanometer technology in 2009 and 2010. We can expect the Ivy Bridge and Haswell 22 nanometer processors to surface between 2011 and 2012. The Sandy Bridge architecture will double the number of cores per die to eight! While a new instruction set called the Advanced Vector Extensions or AVX for short, will likely get most of the attention. For those of you who haven’t conked out yet (you know who you are), hit the links below to get a better idea of what your future rigs will likely house.
