Intel has discussed its upcoming CPU and technologies including Intel's 45nm manufacturing technology and processors with four, six, eight and many computing cores coming to the market.

Intel disclosed details around the company's multi-processor (MP) servers based on Intel's six-core processor codenamed Dunnington, Intel's new Itanium processor codenamed Tukwila, and a number of technical features on two important products for Intel: Nehalem, Intel's next-generation processor family and Larrabee, a future Intel product with many cores, according to Pat Gelsinger, Intel senior vice president and general manager, digital enterprise group.

Intel's current 7300 chipset based platform combined with the quad-core Xeon 7300 processor is the industry's virtualization platform of choice for MP servers. Dunnington is socket-compatible with the Caneland platform and will be available in the second half of 2008, the company said.

Dunnington is the first IA (Intel Architecture) processor with six-cores, is based on 45nm process technology, and has large shared caches. Another supported feature is FlexMigration technology, which allows a single compatible virtualization pool that supports live VM (virtual machine) migration across both 65nm and 45nm high-k Intel Core microarchitecture-based servers and 45nm-based servers. This provides investment protection as well as the option to choose the right server platform to best optimize performance, cost, power and reliability, detailed Intel.
