Intel Core i9 Gulftown
The Intel Gulftown chip with its six cores, expected to be called the Core i9, isn’t even close to being ready for the market.Engeering samples have been leaking out into the hands of testers. We saw benchmarks of an early engineering sample of Gulftown, which impressed with its six cores.Gulftown engineering samples in the wild aren’t limited to just Taiwan, however, as Nordic Hardware reports that an even faster chip was sold on the OCTeamDenmark forums (Google cache version here) for around $850.
