Intel's 45nm 'Penryn' Processor with A0 Silicon Runs Windows XP

Sources inside Intel have confirmed with Legit Reviews that the company has recently run the the first A0 silicion for their upcoming 45nm Penryn processor. Penryn was able to boot Windows XP Pro inside the labs of Intel on the first try according to our sources. No word on it it would boot 64-bit Vista, but operational first-run tape-outs are few and far in-between, especially in the CPU industry. Intel will bring Penryn to the market 'later' this year, so keep an eye out for it in the second half of the year.
