“Intel is expected to announce the ‘Dunnington’ processor later this month, the first six-core processor and last of its Penryn-class chips,” Brooke Crothers reports for CNET.
“Intel on September 15 is expected to roll out the Intel Xeon 7400 series Dunnington processor targeted at the server market, the final member of the “Penryn” family of processors, according to sources at server vendors.
