Westmere 32nm based


Intel plans a few new CPUs in the next quarters and now we've found out that the six-core Core i7 980X won't be the only 32nm Westmere based new high-end CPU to come in early 2010.


We still don’t know whether Core i7 970 will have six-cores as Intel is keeping its mouth shut, but we highly suspect that this might be the slower version of yet another six-core high end CPU.

If it would launch as quad core, which would make it the first 32nm quad core, but we still highly suspect that this is a six-core. Intel will probably update its plans in the next few weeks and we hope to get you updated as soon as we find that out. 

It also uses a well known LGA 1366 socket and will match with X58 chipset based motherboards.
