Compute density, renderer and encoding nerds may have a reason to work themselves into a frenzy next week as Intel may be announcing the arrival of the Beckton core as early as May 26.
Previously discussed here and here, the Beckton is an octo-core member of the Nehalem family destined for work in servers and high-end workstations. Rumored to feature 24MB of L3 cache, a 45nm process node, FB-DIMM support and four QPI lanes, it seems Beckton is being positioned as the heir to Dunnington’s throne.
