Havendale CPU + IGP 45nm cancelled, relaced with 32nm Clarkdale

It looks like Intel is not keen on waiting for AMD's recovery, and it just shocked the world with internal announcement to cancel Havendale 45nm, its first dual core CPU with integrated IGP. Cancelling this CPU sounds like a bad idea, but it is actually a good one if you can replace it with a better CPU and launch it at the same time.

Clarkdale is the name of the new CPU with the IGP and according to Intel it should be ready for production in Q4 2009. To make things better, this is first of many Intel’s 32nm based CPUs to come. We expect a full ramp up in early 2010 but Intel will be ready to at least show and ship it to a selected few in late 2009.
