Itanium news: Tukwila dies!
Seen at the show, that is

NO, GUYS, this isn't Tukwilacide, in spite of the increasingly frequent talk about Itanic's last cruise into the sunset. We're talking about Intel showing the first wafers with gigantic Tukwila (Itanium 3) dies on them.

Believe me, these dies really are big. They had Penryn and Nehalem wafers next to them, and the size proportion of Penryn : Nehalem : Tukwila was, roughly, 1 : 2 : 4. Before you ask - I wasn't allowed to take a photo of all of them together.



Tukwila integrates four "improved" Montvale-type Itanium CPU cores with an integrated FB-DIMM memory controller and up to six QPI channels - so, while single thread core performance might not jump up too much, large jobs should scale much better.

Anyway, let's see it when it turns up. If I'm right, Montvale is still due before that..
