... upcoming Nehalem architecture is officially getting a new name: Core i7. Insiders tell BBG that Nehalem fell out of favor after testing groups thought it "too Jewish."* Intel's fervently Hassidic corporate culture will be downplayed by the new branding, although not be eliminated entirely: our sources tell us that the i stands for "Isaiah" while the 7 indicates the number of Ushpizzin who visit the sukkah during the holiday of Sukkot.

Next-gen Intel Chips Get A Name Change
GEARFUSE —
[image] This time next year, when you’re buying Apple’s newly updated Macbook Pro or Mac Pro, you’ll likely see Intel’s latest line of CPUs in your machine. It’s called “Core” and the first CPU due out under the new moniker is the Intel Core i7 and i7 Extreme Edition. Not the most exciting thing, I know, but just think back to that old 486 DX and you’ll be smiling in no time. Just don’t expect Psystar to make the upgrade. Link

Intel Core i7 (Nehalem) Review
D' Technology Weblog —
... The initial Core i7 CPUs will offer a three-tiered cache structure. Each individual core contains two caches: a 64K L1 cache (split into a 32K instruction cache and a 32K data cache), plus a 256K unified L2 cache. An 8MB L3 cache is shared among the four cores. That 256K L2 cache is interesting, because it’s built with an 8-T (eight transistors per cell) SRAM structure. This facilitates running at lower voltages, but also takes up more die space. That’s one reason the core-specific L2 cache is smaller than you might otherwise expect. ...
