Intel had a lunch cum launch at Midvalley Kuala Lumpur today but I was not able to attend. They have a whole new 45nm processor lineup. These Intel Core 2 Extreme and Xeon processors are also the first to be manufactured on the company’s 45-nanometer (nm) manufacturing process, further boosting performance and lowering power consumption. I guess Intel is really trying hard to get ahead in the CPU market since AMD and other competitors are gaining ground on them.
The Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 quad core processor, the world’s first 45nm Hi-k desktop processor, delivers more of the adrenaline that hardcore gamers and media enthusiasts demand. Enhancements such as a larger L2 cache and support for new Intel® SSE4 media instructions help bring desktop performance to “extreme” new levels.
New to the Intel line-up of server processors are 15 server dual-core and quad-core 45nm Hi-k Intel Xeon processors. The 12 new quad-core chips boast clock speeds ranging from 2GHz up to 3.20GHz, with front side bus speeds (FSB) up to 1600MHz, and cache sizes of 12MB. The three new dual-core chips feature clock speeds of up to 3.40GHz, an FSB of up to 1600MHz, and cache sizes of 6MB.

You also got the invitation. Me too. But I can’t go because I got an exam paper on that day.
Ahh if you guys were there when we’ll have time to mingle around.
