Intel Cancels Havendale and Auburndale Fusion Processors - [H]ard|Forum

**Terry Olaes** · #1 01-31-2009, 01:59 PM

This blogger reports that Intel has canceled the 45nm dual-core Fusion processors codenamed Auburndale and Havendale. Is this the end of the Fusion GPU/CPU concept? Hardly.

Quote:

Intel is going to replace Auburndale/Havendale with their 32nm die-shrink, known as Arandale. Arandale was originally supposed to debut for Back to School season 2010, alongside 32nm quad-core and sexa-core Westmere processors (Core i7 die-shrinks). But now, Arandale core has been brought forward by six months to Q1′2010.

sexa-core processor sounds sexy

Intel CPU codenames belong in some kind of Lord of the Rings characters

IIRC, most of them are actually town / city names.

Ask Theo about that 30,000 3DMark06 score on a Phenom (single video card, stock speed CPU) and about that reverse hyperthreading. The guy is an unreliable clown trawling for hits again.

I think it's quite unusual that Intel cancels products, or maybe they do but they are so early versions that they never leak out to the public. But again because 32nm is quite close and it would really help to cut down the power draw and also manufacturing cost of these.

All Inq workers, rather former or not, should be taken as a liar until proven right.

Westmere is a new architecture. Gesher is the shrink.
