The largest manufacturer of processors actively working on new models of Lynnfield (Socket 1156 Core i5 and Core i7), as well as on Core i9. If all goes according to plan, Intel will show six-core processor Core i9 at September's IDF. The manufacturer is not only demonstrating the six-core processor, but also shows chips, made on 32nm process technology.

Core i9 be the first Intel processor architecture Westmere. In the family of processors with this architecture will become almost a full range of models with different numbers of nuclei, including the original dual-core, quad eight-and six-core versions. According to rumors, the first representatives of this family appear in the fourth quarter, and if this is true, then AMD will have to make considerable efforts to maintain market position. If you happen to AMD failure, similar to the failure of Barcelona, then the manufacturer will be a very serious problem, because they not only lose market share, but also support the developers.
