Nehalem roadmap up to 2010
5 Nehalem flavours will be available in 1H 2009. But about that time, AMD's originals (those mentioned are actually Intel's unlicensed copies of Opteron and Phenom) should have a year of presence on a broad market.
So much about Intel's current technological (backward) leadership.
In the meantime, enjoy old "good" Dunnington. In the meatime, Dunnington with a little help of "independent" hardware journalists should fight Opteron - Barcelona? Nice plan.
Dunnington, the exclusively India-designed-and-developed multiprocessor (MP) Xeon server from Intel will be out in the second half of 2008. However, time is in India relative so the designers claim in the article headline:
Intel’s India-made chip to be out early next year.
Quite suspiciously, Dunnington launch seems like a Q4 2008 backup solution for possible Nehalem launch disaster about the same time.
Think what happens when processor fail something in this Dunnington gargantuan cache hierarchy.
