Intel briefing: 32nm, Westmere and more

Unfortunately we were not able to attend Intel's San Francisco briefing in person yesterday, but we were able to "virtually" attend thanks to the teleconference and press materials.Intel will invest an additional seven billion dollars on top of the billion it already invested for 32nm manufacturing technology in the US. The new investment will be used to upgrade Intel fabs:
Fab 11x in New Mexico
Fab D1C, D1D and AF) in Oregon
Fab 22-32 in Arizona
The Tick-Tock Development model was then highlighted, showing how Merom (tock), Penryn (tick) and Nehalem (tock) are now leading to Westmere (tick) to be later followed by Sandy Bridge (tock)
