Intel's New Platform For Nehalem..!

In the previous post we saw that the senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise group Gelsinger also announced the first 32nm chip is slated to be a shrunken version of Nehalem which is an upcoming four-core chip and is Intel's next microarchitecture and it should arrive sometime before the end of the year and the are also going to launch a supportive motherboard code name “Smackdown” that will be fitted for fitted for Nehalem processors..!
Take a close look at the intel's Pre-production mother board code named as "Smackdown".
Not much information regarding this motherboard is available as Intel has not officially announced anything about it but in a first impression it seems to be a dual-core workstation with two native quad-cores running and 16 simultaneous threads. That would be a beautiful thing to see the processing power of graphics cards finally coming to system boards and processors...!
