That's gonna start late next year and the core name will be Westmere and it will be far more destructive.
The biggest improvement is for servers (database and web servers) and video rendering tasks

Of course, nehalem is apparently gonna pwn the current opterons,which did very well in the multi-socket category due to increased bandwidth inherent when using IMC.
All I am saying is that there is not much for a gaming enthusiast to be happy abt.(which i am not,but many are).Like u don't have to wait for the mainstream one to arrive when u upgrade.(though by that time,the current processor's price would have dipped).
Yeah 32nm could hold immense possibilities esp. if they increase the L2 cache back to the 4-6MB level and/or increase L3 to 16MB(then very few misses for sure)!!
