Intel has just confirmed the second generation 45-nm processor architecture (its code name "Nehalem") will integrate memory control directly into the processor instead of a component of the northbridge. as before.

"Nehalem" will be produced in 2008, and there will be a completely new feature - "multi-threaded simultaneous", described as having the same functions as Intel's previous Hyper-threading technology.

Intel confirmed the technology change for the new chip images 1 HT technology was introduced in 2005 as a "front-end" solution of dual-core processors, a technology that many people believe AMD has had for a long time.

Previously, Intel also confirmed that it will use HT in Nehalem although there are some significant improvements over the old technology.

In response to Intel's announcement of Nehalem, AMD said the new platform could not compete with "Barcelona", AMD's upcoming 65-nm chip, expected to be released later this year.
