Intel Penryn

The "Penryn" is Intel's upcoming 45nm process based architecture. The first planned models will come in dual-core & quad-core flavors with each core clocked at 3 Ghz or higher, depending upon the price of the product. Amazingly Intel has found a way to cram as much as 24 MB of L2 cache into on of their quad-core versions of the new processor.

Will Intel retain it's crown for the next generation of processors?

I saw that, and I thought it was a typo! Where is AMD with all of this?

Yes, I do think that is insane, but, it depends on cooling issues for the processor if Intel wants to maintain rule.
