What is interesting about this roadmap is that it indicates that the Bloomfield product will enter into the Extreme, Performance and the top level of the Mainstream and will remain there only until the middle of 2009. After that, Performance and Mainstream will be overtaken by Lynnfield, the Nehalem-based processor that does not use QPI for communications at all. Does this give NVIDIA’s claims that NOT making a chipset for Bloomfield was the smart move to make?
It is also at the half way mark into 2009 that we see Nehalem making its move into the rest of the many markets Intel has defined going all the way down into the Value segment with a Havendale dual-core 2.x GHz part.
For 2010 the roadmap shows Westmere hitting as early as the first of the year; this is a new 6 core 12MB L3 part that look to over take Bloomfield/Lynnfield pretty quickly.
