And beyond
It looks like Intel has shifted some of its plans and that they are being one or two quarters behind the original and traditional schedule.
Traditionally Intel would show its super-duper new architecture, latest greatest high-end CPU in Q3, while the shipping would start toward the early Q4 in the year. This won't happen this year as Gulftown, the next generation six-core Westmere 32nm based high end CPU, won't show its face before Q2 2010.
This is not, the whole picture as Gulftown should last at least a year and continue to be the best highest end CPU even in first half of 2011 and then it should get replaced by some Sandy Bridge based core.
