Looking to the Future
Intel’s future architecture directions will continue to focus on microprocessor core enhancements, delivering performance increases and building core capabilities with improved energy efficiency. These advancements will continue to deliver compelling thresholds of energy-efficient performance that make it feasible for the same processor architecture to be used to meet the requirements of future applications across mobile, desktop, and server computing usage models.

Intel’s published roadmap provides a view of the next several generations of silicon process technology with linked architecture introductions. Intel is on track for volume production of Intel Core microarchitecture–based products on 45nm in 2007. In 2008, Intel will introduce its Nehalem (code name) microarchitecture, and the microarchitecture code-named Gesher will follow in 2010. These microarchitecture introductions will be accompanied with chipset innovations and will drive the associated platform development.
