Intel's P1268 32nm process is at an incredibly advanced stage, and Intel wants the world to know it.
The CPU behemoth has cancelled several 45nm products because it will have much more advanced 32nm products available this year. AMD, meanwhile, has only been selling 45nm chips since November.
Clarkdale is the desktop version of Westmere, built using two 32nm logical cores and a 45nm graphics core using Intel's "Multi-Chip Packaging". Targeted at the mainstream value market, it is capable of running four threads at once with Intel's newest generation of Hyper-Threading. A server variant of Clarkdale is also to be introduced later in Q1 of 2010.
Arrandale is the mobile version of Clarkdale and will also be available with integrated-on-package graphics. It will allow switchable graphics within Windows 7 and Windows Vista, enabling the use of a higher performance GPU through PCIe when plugged in. Both Clarkdale and Arrandale will use 5 series chipsets exclusively with DDR3.
This is the first 32nm silicon out of Intel's Fab D1D Research and Development center in Hillsboro, Oregon. We were told that it is fully functional and running Windows 7. Intel also claims that its cycle times are greatly improved over its P1266 45nm process, and expects a faster ramp.
Power consumption numbers are visible for both Clarkdale and Arrandale, but these are just preliminary. Final production silicon will probably be much lower, but this gives a good indication of Intel's prowess.
We’d like to give a special thanks to Stephen Smith, Vice President and Director of Business Operations of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, for making these pictures possible.

Are those the CPU's with integrated graphic cards or something? :O

| Yes that is a integrated gpu right on the processor itself.

probably going to make them hot as fuck 
most motherboards have built in graphics anyway, I don't see why they've done this... They obviously won't be suitable for proper games and 3D work.

| Yes exactly, this is going to be used for cheaper computers such as netbooks and so.

I doubt Intel will be able to flex Nehalem's architecture enough for it to fit in a 2W TDP cast. It would probably be some 10 times more than that in Arrandale processors. The price would probably be some $80, almost double that of Intel's Atom processor. It's meant to cover for value/mainstream laptops, $600 and up.

| Wow, those pictures suck. Funny how the Vice President and Director of Business Operations of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group uses a crappy 1.3 megapixel camera.

| It's for the lower-end market, not performance. As far as heat, I can't see it being too bad on a low clocked chip with a low-end GPU, seeing as from the sound of it it's a single core chip.
