Intel is all set to release their next generation processor Intel Nehalem boasting 8 cores. The speculations are so high that is is considered as "over" requirement for the current processor market. Nehalem is competing with the AMD Shanghai in the field. Both are set to be released around same date as per reports, this time no one is going to get the time advantage. ;-)

A
Nehalem processor with 1GB DDR3 memory is said to posses same processing capabilityas a Intel penryn processor with 3GB DDR3. memory manufacturers are planning 3GB DDR3 for Nehalem based 32 bit OS and 12GB for 64bit.

Major features of Nehalem summerised from Intels wesite are
  • Dynamic scalability
  • Design and performance scalability
  • Simultaneous multi-threading
  • Scalable shared memory
