Will Microsoft buy DoubleClick? The main reason why Intel is moving to 45nm manufacturing is to get more performance. On that note in 2008, Intel will release processors that looks a heck of a lot like the Athlon64.

The "Nehalem" chips will allow Intel to debut its elusive CSI (common systems interconnect) technology – a high-speed serial interconnect similar to AMD's Hypertransport technology. In addition, Intel will pump out processors with built-in memory controllers and built-in graphics units, said SVP Pat Gelsinger, speaking to reporters here. Lastly, Intel intends to support two software threads per core with the "Nehalem" gear – again bringing the giant in line with processor rivals such as Sun Microsystems and IBM.
