Intel to Release Octo Core CPU

The International Solid-State Circuits Conference (IESSCC) published the planning of the forthcoming sessions which will take place from February 8th to 12th, 2009
Interestingly, Intel will unveil an Octo core Xeon, featuring 2.3 billions transistors and 3 levels of cache on a QPI bus offering a bandwidth of 6.4 GB/s. The CPU will support hyperthreading so 16 logical cores will then be available. With such processor in a Mac Pro, users would then have 16 physicals cores and 32 logical cores, if you associate them with some NVidia GeForce GTX to run Snow Leopard, it must be a really amazing work station
