As expected Intel has presented a new octo-core Xeon processor as a taste teaser of the coming ISSCC (International Solid State Circuits Conference) event. Even if the details are sparse we know a bit more about this 45nm delicacy. The name will be Nehalem-EX and the eight cores can handle up to 16 simultaneous threads thanks to HyperThreading. It's the same foundation as the Core i7 but Nehalem-EX sports unimaginable 2.3 billion transistors under the heatspreader.
More information on the processor and what systems to expect should appear soon as the ISSCC opens next week.
