Nehalem is a codename for both a processor microarchitecture and a processor. Nehalem will be released in late 2008 for high-end chips and early 2009 for mainstream chips. The codenames "Bloomfield" (desktop chip), "Gainestown" (server chip), "Gilo" (mobile chip), and "Beckton" (or "Becton") (server chip) have been associated with Nehalem consistently, but with very few details.
According to a new roadmap, Intel has already prepared three Bloomfield with different clock for different class of users. Till now other spec still TBD and we will wait for Intel’s info on that. The Bloomfield for Extreme class clocks at 3.2GHz, performance class Bloomfield runs at 2.92GHz, the lowest one run is 2.66GHz.
It seems Intel still not make up their mind how to call Bloomfield commercially so we still need to wait for their next roadmap update. Also, the first 45nm dual core CPU will enter Value class in Q3 this year. The CPU will be labeled E5200. E5200 will take over the E2220’s place because E2220 will hit End of Life in Q3.
