Intel Will Bring Next Gen Itanium CPU

Last week at the Hot Chips conference discusses Intel's latest Itanium processor that will be presented in 2012 with the codename Poulson. The new Itanium CPU will be built on 32nm fabrication process and in which there is no less than 8 cores in 3.1 billion transistors, far above the Sandy Bridge processors that use the same 32nm.

According to Intel, the chip Poulson will have a 32MB cache, Hyper Threading technology (which has existed since a long time on the processor Xeon and Core), Instruction Reply Technology that helps to detect errors when running one of these instructions and repeat instructions dariInstruction Buffer, and new instructions covering 4 areas (Integer operations, data Access Hints,
Expanded Software Prefetch and Thread Control). In addition to the discussion Poulson, Kittson Intel also mentioned the possibility of future generations of Poulson.
