Intel Says Late 2009/Early 2010 For Octa-Core Xeon


According to an interview with one of Intel’s executive, Intel’s Nehalem EX processors may not make launch this year.
Shannon Pouline, Xeon platform director of Intel’s Serve Products Group, said in an interview that “What you’ll get at the beginning of next year — late this year or the beginning of next year — will be the push into the four-socket, eight-socket, and above space.” Judging by the way that Pouline had to reword his statement it would be very easy to assume that Intel is planning more for a 2010 launch.

The upcomming Nehelam EX processors, codenamed Beckton, are expected to have up to eight cores on top of an on-chip memory controller and support for Intel’s QuickPath Interconnect technology. While no specifics have been officially released, some sources are suggesting that Beckton might have up to 24MB cache.
