You read right, Sun has leaked that Intel's upcoming Dunnington processor will contain three dual-cores in one cpu, giving you a six-core processor! Dunnington is the sucessor of Tigerton, a 65nm Xeon processor with two dual-cores in one fancy little package. Dunnington will get the Xeon label and feature 45nm Penryn technology with 16MB of L3 cache shared by all six cores and 3MB of L2 cache for each core. This new processor will work with most current systems that support the Tigerton processor, aiding in upgradability. The new Xeon lineup featuring Dunnington will be released in the second half of 2008.
