Gulftown processor?

Was over in another music forum site (duc) and ran into a discussion of a new Intel processor - Gulftown. Googled it and found out it's a to-be-released 6 core chip. That's GOT to have some monster power behind it.

Who in the heck comes up with these names anyway? Harpertown, Gulftown, etc.?

Thanks for the link - interesting read. I've always been a huge fan of AMD chips. They seem to do math oriented stuff faster than equivalent or slightly faster-clocked Intel chips. Wish them well. The only thing I worry about with that many cores on a single die is heat dissipation. I don't think a simple massive fan on top is going to cut it anymore. System designers might have to go the route gamers that overclock have gone for years - liquid cooling.
