In recent months, the view that the company GlobalFoundries become the first manufacturer to move to mass production on 32nm production methods on the basis of materials with high dielectric constant (high-k metal gate, HKMG). But if this is the case in reality?

The source said that the first on 32nm production methods HKMG move by Intel. If so, it turns out that the manufacturer intends to waive the usual scheme of "teak-like", do not let the 45nm processor Havendale, and go directly to the production of 32nm Clarkdale. That is, work on 32nm production methods is so good that the manufacturer considers it possible to move it much earlier than expected. Manufacturers of motherboards have confirmed that Intel plans to skip Havendale to begin mass production of processors Lynnfield.

In the coming months, will cease production of multiple Intel processors. In particular, in the third quarter of this year to discontinue the Core i7 940 and Core 2 Extreme QX9775, and Intel will stop producing Quad-core Core 2 Quad Q9400, Q9400S, Q8200 and Q8200S. Intel plans in the coming months to begin production of the Core 2 Quad Processor Quad Q9505S, designed specifically for the type of all-in-one.
