Intel 32nm Westmere Desktop CPU Pictures
A ton of buzz is going around about the upcoming Intel 32nm Westmere processors and I tracked down a few pictures of the 32nm CPU with the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) removed that should be of interest to many of you. Pictured below is a picture with Intel Vice President Steve Smith showing a 32nm Westmere microprocessor. The larger die is the integrated graphics and memory controller that were manufactured on the 45nm process and the smaller die is the processor, which is made on the 32nm process. Be sure to check out our coverage of the press briefing here in this two page article and check out the forum post by following the link below for Westmere pictures. We even have a picture of a clean shaven Francois Piednoel, so check them out!
At a media briefing in San Francisco today, Intel Corporation discussed new milestones for 32nm manufacturing and progress toward future products. Earlier that day, in Washington, DC, Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini disclosed that Intel is making the largest-ever investment in a single process technology in the United States to support upgrades to advanced manufacturing facilities in the country and the move to its next-generation, 32nm chip manufacturing technology. Intel is investing approximately $7 billion in 2009-10 on 32nm manufacturing technology, raising the total by the end of that timeframe to approximately $8 billion (for 32nm investment in the United States).
