cor iX marquee.jpgTwo years after going into production with 45nm process chips Intel is producing 32nm "Westmere" microprocessor chips.

Ahead of CES, Intel has annonced a new Intel Core family of processors. Aimed at laptops, desktops and embedded devices, the Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 chips are built on a 32 nanometer manufacturing process.

Reading a bit more about Intel's Westmere developments I came across this handy slide for reference, showing how the various microarchitecture codenames stack up.

The 45nm Lynnfield chips are out of the door, but with September's IDF looming, Intel is turning the spotlight on its 32nm offerings, codenamed "Westmere" (that's "Nehalem" migrated to 32nm process).

The video below features Sanjay Natarajan, Intel's director of logic technology development. Described as a "rock star engineer", by Intel's Ken Kaplan on the IDF Connected blog, he talks about the first microprocessors built with 32 nanometer process.
