Wait so its a MODULAR CPU starting at its basic component being for a mobile device up to a supercomputer??? Sounds like the wave of the future. So like get a dozen for a super PC at home? And use one when your running around the city? Have them both be connected by the same Operating system? I like the idea.

Or am I completely wrong here?

No, this is a compilation of videos.

When he said modular he was speaking specifically on the Nehalem architecture, which consists of 'modules' including the core, L3 cache, memory controller, quickpath interconnects and integrated graphics, all interchangeable without changing the basic design.

When they mention the scaling they mean that the Intel Atom-based devices in your pocket and the Intel Itanium supercomputer can and will run the same software.

wait, was that "Moosetown" thing another processor?

[Jayayess1190]

Moorestown is coming in 2009 or 2010. It will be for mobile devices and includes the processor along with other parts.
