User:Imperator3733/WIP:Computing/Nehalem (NetBurst Successor)


 * This article is about the original Nehalem, the replacement for the NetBurst microarchitecture. For the upcomming Core microarchitecture successor, see Nehalem (microarchitecture)

Nehalem was the codename for Intel's planned successor to the Tejas microprocessor. Nehalem was to be an enhanced version of the NetBurst microarchitecture.

NetBurst evolution
Nehalem would have featured an improved version of HyperThreading. Clockspeeds were expected to start at approximately 10 GHz on a 65nm process. It is likely that most models would have been single cores, but some higher-end versions would most likely have been dual cores (like the original Cedarmill).



Cancellation
Nehalem was most likely canceled in early 2004, or soon after, near the time that Tejas was canceled.
