It seems that Intel has adopted the name under which it will market its new processors based on the Nehalem progressive microarchitecture. According to an article on Expreview.com, the new generation of processors will be called the Core i7 and should be presented to Intel on Monday. Despite this, they can not be purchased before the official start of sales in the last quarter of this year. Produced by 45 nm process technology, Core i7 processors will have from 2 to 8 cores, a three-channel DDR3 memory controller with a clock frequency of up to 1333 MHz, and support Multi-threading technology (multi-stream data exchange). The massive sales of three processor models, including the 3.2GHz Extreme processor for high-performance gaming platforms, are expected to start at the end of this year. At the moment, the value of the index i7 remains unknown, but it is hoped to find out early next week.
