Intel Details Upcoming Gulftown Six-Core Processor

MojoKid writes "With the International Solid-State Circuits Conference less than a week away, Intel has released additional details on its upcoming hexa-core desktop CPU, next gen mobile, and dual-core Westmere processors. Much of the dual-core data was revealed last month when Intel unveiled their Clarkdale architecture. However, when Intel set its internal goals for what its calling Westmere 6C, the company aimed to boost both core and cache count by 50 percent without increasing the processor's thermal envelope. Westmere 6C (codename Gulftown) is a native six-core chip. Intel has crammed 1.17 billion transistors into a die that's approximately 240mm sq. The new chip carries 12MB up L3 (up from Nehalem's 8MB) and a TDP of 130W at 3.33GHz. In addition, Intel has built in AES encryption instruction decode support as well as a number of improvements to Gulftown's power consumption, especially in idle sleep states."

I'll take the milfs :) those ladies have experience

They also have skin with massive sun damage, stretch marks, cellulite, and tits that are a mess after two or three births, and that's the ones who've chosen to stay natural. Surgically enhanced MILFs are even worse. Overinflated lips, over-tight facelifts, implants, and botox face...Ugh! None of it ends up looking or feeling anywhere near natural. Were talking Uncanny Valley territory here.

I'll take the 19 year olds, thanks! : ) They can quickly learn to do all the MILF tricks and teaching is fun.
