Gulftown[1] or Westmere-E[2] is the codename of an up to six-core hyperthreaded Intel processor able to run up to 12 threads in parallel. It is based on Westmere microarchitecture, the 32 nm shrink of Nehalem.[3] Originally rumored to be called the Intel Core i9, it is sold as an Intel Core i7.[4] The first release was the Core i7 980X in the first quarter of 2010,[5][6][7] along with its server counterpart, the Xeon 3600 and the dual-socket Xeon 5600 (Westmere-EP) series using identical chips.
