A senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise group Mr Pat Gelsinger says that the six-core chip, code-named Dunnington, will be built with Intel's new 45 nanometer (nm) technology and it will consist of 1.9 billion transistors and 16MB of L3 cache..!

Intel, which only moved to the 45nm process late last year, also announced today that it plans to start producing 32nm chips in either 2009 or 2010. Gelsinger said the first 32nm chip is slated to be a shrunken version of Nehalem, an upcoming four-core chip. The 32nm chips are code named Westmere.
