The Reg <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/32858.html" target=_blank>Intel commits to multi-core Pentiums, Xeons, Itanics</a>
ntel today confirmed what we revealed some time ago: that the next-but-one generation of Itanium processor, codenamed 'Tanglewood', will be a multi-core chip.
It also unveiled its dual-core strategy for the IA-32 server chip family, Xeon, and said it would bring the technique to its mainstream CPUs over time.
Tanglewood will succeed 'Montecito', the dual-core, one billion-transistor Itanic due in 2005, said Intel COO Paul Otellini at Intel Developer Forum today. He offered no tighter timeframe figures than that.

Meanwhile, Xeon's next incarnation, 'Potomac', will be followed by 'Tulsa', Otellini said, the first dual-core Xeon. He didn't say so, but if IA-64 is going multi-core, it's a good bet Xeon will in due course.
Ditto Pentium: "We're driving it down to PCs and notebooks," said Otellini. "We'll go from putting HyperThreading in our products to putting dual-core capability in our mainstream client processors over time."
Potomac, the first 90nm Xeon MP, is due to ship next year, with Tulsa following in 2005 or 2006.
