Intel has restructured its chip road map, and plans to expand its upcoming Westmere mainstream desktop dual integrated graphics processor for entry-level server quad-core chips.

The chip, code-named Westmere clarkdale and architecture, will be the core correspond to the original museum I3 and I5 in the core of the brand, integrated graphics processor, a chip package CPU. The updated road map is put forward earlier this week, Intel and Microsoft to cooperate in the Windows 7 operating system discussion.

While the Intel chip will be mainly for Clark mainstream PCs, the version may enter single server plan, said George Alfs, Intel spokesman. "Indeed, our single-socket servers, and embedded derivatives, some of our customers, but [there is] no announcement at this time," he said.

Intel currently offers the mainstream desktop and notebook PCs Core 2 Duo chips. Clark Dyer core chips will offer more than a significant performance advantage, 2 chips, and lower power consumption, Intel said, in the past. Integrated chips will enhance the graphics performance while using less than 2 processor core strength. The server may experience faster, because Clark Dyer's ability to run two threads per core than the core competencies of the two chips to improve application performance for each kernel thread is running.

In performance and power advantages can be achieved from an advanced manufacturing process, Intel used to make chips. Clark will use Intel processors, 32-nm process technology, than the existing 45-nanometer process used to manufacture the Intel chips of today to upgrade. The chip will be put into production in the fourth quarter.

The Westmere architecture is a process to narrow the current Intel Nehalem micro-architecture. Nehalem processors form the core of ì7 high-end Intel's existing Xeon 5500 desktop and server processors. Nehalem is Intel's first micro-architecture, an integrated CPU and memory controller, but also processors and system components for the rapid communication channels.

Intel also introduced a dual-core, quad-core and six-core Xeon server chips, and plans to announce eight-core chip, code-named Nehalem - EX, which is due early next year. The company also plans to introduce other Westmere based on future server chips, although not disclosed have been made.

With Clark Dyer, Intel is developing a dual-core notebook chip, code-named allandale 32-nanometer process. This chip can be achieved notebook computers early next year.
