Intel has begun producing Westmere chips based on the 32nm second-generation high-k metal gate technology, reports PCMAG.

The first products will include dual-core processors compatible with the socket LGA1156 platforms, and will be branded as Core i5 600 series, Core i3 500 series, and Pentium dual-core series.

In regards to overclocking you mean? Seems the built in PCIe controller hinders OCing more than the 32nm shrink helps.

Not talking about performance, just about the "etalage". Lots to choose from

Performance would be the same as a dualcore version of Lynnfield, or a bit less for the further cutdown parts.

I think a better question is overclocking headroom for the 32nm node.
