Photo of Intel's next generation processor

The image below shows a quad-core Bloomfield processor based on the Nehalem microarchitecture, at least according to Mobile01.com.

The Nehalem family, which debuted at the end of the year, is a milestone in Intel's history in several ways: it will be the processor manufacturer's first CPU with an integrated three-channel DDR3 memory controller, and the LGA1366 enclosure marks the beginning of a new era in motherboard manufacturers.

The photo posted by Mobile01.com basically depicts the back of a Nehalem processor, skeptics and plenty of free time can start counting the number of surfaces in contact with the spikes.
