Coolarer have posted a detailed preview of Intel’s upcoming CPU, the entry level E5200. The CPU is the first 45nm CPU with 2MB L2,default FSB keeps 800MHz. E5xxx series CPU will take over E2xxx’s place, to become a next entry CPU with good OCbility… Thanks to its high multiplier, Bus Speed only OC to 320MHz and the core can achieve 4GHz. BTW, the CPU will be available at Q3, only in 84USD.

ChannalWeb reports Intel will shrink their chips to a 10nm silicon fabrication process within the next ten years.
Pat Gelsinger, the Intel’s Chief Technology Officer, said: “There was a time where Intel and his colleagues wondered whether they could reach 100nm chips.” “But we did do that, and today we see a clear way to get to under 10 nanometers. With Moore’s Law we always have about 10 years of visibility into the future, so beyond 10 nanometers, we’re not sure how we’ll do it”.
In fact the last year, Moore himself doubted whether his law fits modern times because according to Steven Hawking’s theory, there’s a limit by the atom and the velocity of light. Even this days, we get to know TSMC was forced to delay its 40nm business to Feb/Mar 2009.

Larrabee architecture sketch
Last month, Intel reported the Larrabee featuring IA(Intel Architecture) core, which means it can adapt present x86 architecture. And now we get to know that the IA core is actually P54C, which is well known for over 13 years since the Pentium 75, according to Pat Gelsinger, the Intel’s Chief Technology Officer.
