45nm Penryn Die
65nm Conroe Die
Intel dual core 45nm Penryn will contain 410M transistors compared to 65nmdual core Conroe with 291M transistors. The die size of Penryn is not revealedyet but we knew it is around 110mm2, still smaller than the Conroe die size of 143mm2. The quadcore Yorkfield will double the number of transistors at 820M by just putting twodual core Penryn dies together onto the same package similar to the current quadcore Kentsfield made up of two Conroe dies. Yorkfield will not the the firstnative quad-core from Intel yet as Intel thinks it is more economically andfaster time to market to slap two dies together instead of creating a singlenative quad core chip out. Three 300mm fabs will be producing 45nm processors byH1 2008 where D1D Oregon and Fab 32 Arizona will start ramping first in H2 2007,followed by Fab 28 Israel. The 45nm Penryn processors will follow the currentpower envelope; 35W for mobile, 65W for desktop, and 80W for server and extremeeditions.
