Intel Senior Vice President Patrick Gelsinger says that new Intel processors based on the upcoming Nehalem microarchitecture will have a gradual rollout in the marketplace, with new processors for high-end desktops, workstations and single-socket server systems coming first. Just before the Intel Developer Forum, AMD said its 45-nm "Shanghai" processors would beat Nehalem into the market for two- and four-socket server systems.
SAN FRANCISCO—Now that Intel has
detailed its new Nehalem microarchitecture, the question remains when the first
of the processors built around this new chip architecture will hit the
enterprise space and the wider consumer market.
From there, processors for the two- and four-socket space will land in the
market by the second half of 2009, Intel Senior Vice President Patrick
Gelsinger told eWEEK at the Intel Developer Forum here. One reason for this
gradual rollout of Nehalem-based processors, Gelsinger said, is to allow OEMs
to build new systems and allow for extensive testing and a long validation
process for IT shops interested in the new processors.
