The Tick Tock strategy has been a huge success for Intel. Every two years, Intel will introduce a new microarchitecture and every year in between it will introduce a shrink of the last microarchitecture. It all started with the introduction of the 65nm Core architecture, which was just recently shrinked to 45nm, Penryn. In Q4, Intel will introduce Nehalem, which is also 45nm, and in 2009, Intel will start phasing out Nehalem and replace it with 32nm Westmere. Which in turn will be replaced by the 32nm Sandy Bridge in 2010. This is where most roadmaps end, but now Intel has added two yet unnamed 22nm processors, which will hit the market in 2011, a die-shrink, and a new microarchitecture in 2012.

This is quite common... Even the Gfx companies follow a similar rule... It just just we nerds who choose to overlook it while going ahead and buying every other upgrade they throw at us...

can v call it a gud markitin strategy......or an ignorance towards fast technology change.

Correct me if im wrong but this strategy was outlined back when Core 2 Duo came out...

yes, but this time the point is that they intend to continue the tick-tock-ing to 2012 :)

Why only till 2012 you ask? Because 2012 will be the year the world comes to an end! See Doomsday 2012 - for real this time? | veracity :P
