I thought Westmere was only a 32nm shrink of Nehalem, in the same way that Penryn is a 45nm shrink of Merom/Conroe/Woodcrest. If that is the case, then surely it's not a proper CPU microarchitecture?

- I made them seperate entries because although Penryn is a 45nm shrink of Merom/Conroe/Woodcrest, there are several changes made. There is more cache, improved power management, faster divisor, etc. Westmere will probably be similar in changes, so I listed it as a sperate uarch. If you don't like how I have it, maybe we could indent those two lines to show that they are improved versions of Core and Nehalem. Imperator3733 19:23, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
