Yes it is the Inq. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=38232
Sounds like Intel plans to release IMCs on EE/XE parts. It sounds logical to me because it is cheaper for them to make nonIMC parts which they can mix and match chips to make Quad cores and get higher yeilds (important for selecting mobile parts) and they can also be made more energy effiecient (also important for mobile chips). Then they can put IMCs on the high end product and charge a fortune.
I wonder how the chipsets will work out for the different products though. Could they make a chipset that will autosense the CPU type and configure itself to operate in differently or do you have to run a certain chipset??? Should be interesting. 8O
