Intel Ahead of Schedule (Again) for 32nm Clarkdale CPUs

Intel appears to have hit a groove with its 32nm Clarkdale processors. Earlier this month, motherboard makers with the inside scoop reported that Intel had decided to axe its 45nm Havendale chips in favor of pushing 32nm Clarkdale chips in the first quarter of 2010. Those same sources are now saying Intel will begin mass-producing its 32nm chips in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Getting off to a big start, the company's 32nm Clarkdale processors are expected to account for 10 percent of Intel's total OEM desktop CPU shipments in Q4. By 2010, Intel expects that number to double to 20 percent.
Meanwhile, AMD is still looking to ramp up production in the middle of 2010 with mass production not expected until Q4 of next year, potentially putting Intel a year ahead of the No.2 chip maker.

45 half price is always better than 45 full price. beside what's the point of getting the most advanced gadgets (cpu,mobo or anything else) if it's gonna make you starv for days in this current financial GLOBAL crisis?
believe it or not my BF still play crysis with his old gforce 9800

I hate intel. Almost as much as I do MJ. But be realistic here. Sure it will drive older technology down in price but not only will you have to pay out the nose for the new CPU, You'll have to budget in a new mobo, and maybe ram as well. That's where intel gets you up the butt and thier numbers sore! New CPU, new mobo...new CPU, new mobo.....I know they've skipped a mobo gen here and there, but it seems as common as anal warts on an armadillo...

Looking on the economic side, when they put a new techology on the market, then the prev tech will lose it's high current value and become cheaper. which is good for the economy nowadays. luv u intel.

Intel moves to fast. They need to slow down a little. Who the heck can keep up with them anymore?

So your premise is that intel should stop trying to make more efficient processors that use less power? You know that reducing the nm does not make it incompatible with previous technologies (like 45 nm), right?

Yes that is true, but they do tend to make new chipsets for them and issue a whole new LGA for the new chip. But really? Are they going to fast? No. They can move as fast as they want as long as the quality does not dwindle.

Not AMD, that's for sure.

Not to be stupid but..
What is the main difference between all these architectures? 90nm 65nm, and 45nm. I'm planning on a 45nm PII 955
