Intel has told its partners that it plans to announce an IGP-powered CPU in Q3 2009. This looks quite far away but we can now confirm that this CPU shares the Nehalem architecture and also has an integrated memory controller.

The CPU matches Ibex Peak chipset that is also scheduled for the same period. It looks that Havendale will be low-cost and the point of integration is to keep the cost down.

Chipset and CPU are migrating from their current three chips to future two. Ibex peak supports DDR3 and by that time it looks that this memory will get mainstream. Stay tuned for more.
