The $2 billion factory, based in Leixlip, Ireland, gives the chip giant a wider lead at 65 nanometers. Intel is at a crossroad as their next few ranges will decide the company's future for the latter half of this decade. In keeping with this the new microprocessors are expected to mark one of Intel's most significant product launches in the company's history. Intel will introduce its Intel Core 2 Duo processors for the desktop and notebook (formerly code-named Conroe and Merom, respectively). Intel also plans to introduce its dual-core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series (formerly code-named Woodcrest).
AMD is yet to ship any product on the 65nm process.
