Intel Nehalem is expected to be release sometime in Q4 of 2008. Nehalem is both a microprocessor architecture and a CPU. Nehalem will be manufactured using the same 45 nm methods used for Penryn, but it will require a new socket called LGA1366. Nehalem is expected to have between 1 and 8+ cores and integrated memory controllers for DDR2/DDR3. Nehalem will no longer have a front side bus (FSB), it being replaced with the Intel QuickPath Interconnect technology. The amount of cache is expected to be less than Intel Penryn processors, measuring in a 8MB of L3; however all 8MB will be shared between all the cores.
