A Family of 32 nm IA Processors

Westmere is the latest IA processor family for mobile, desktop and server market segments, implemented on Intel's second-generation high-k metal gate 32 nm process. Westmere not only increases core count, cache size, and frequency within the previous generation's power envelope, it also provides further improvements in power efficiency, feature set, and support for combo DDR3 and low voltage DDR3 despite using a thin gate technology.
