Associates acknowledged that Intel will revive the skulltrail platform. Prior to the end of this year, some computer producers will actually propose gaming desktop systems on base of two 8 core processors nehalem-EX. In first half 2010 will appear the more accessible solutions on base of 32 six-core processors gulftown LGA 1366, which can work in pair.

Each processor nehalem-EX will have eight cores, 24 MB cache in the third level and support four-channel memory. Each processor gulftown will obtain six cores, 12 MB cache in the third level and three-channel memory organization . Besides lower price and heat emission level, gulftown processors will possess higher frequencies.
