SoftwareIntel Offers Peek at Working Sandy Bridge PC.
Surprise! It"s not Westmere.
As expected, at IDF Intel put on display its newest technologies. While Lynnfield products have just refreshed the consumer offerings, the world"s largest chipmaker is putting on display its next-generation 32nm CPU technology codenamed Westmere.
Intel already made it known that its production facilities are already well on their way making Westmere processor wafers in support of planned fourth quarter revenue production. Westmere will spawn Clarkdale processors for desktop and Arrandale CPUs for notebooks ò€“ showing a new "tick" in the development cycle.
On stage at IDF, however, Intel jumped even further ahead by demonstrating a fully working system from its next-next-generation"tock" ò€“ Sandy Bridge. Check out the video embedded below for the reveal:
