32 nm
Intel's Core i3 and i5 processors, released in January 2010, were among the first mass-produced processors to use 32 nm technology. Intel's second-generation Core processors, codenamed Sandy Bridge, also used the 32 nm manufacturing process. Intel's 6-core processor, codenamed Gulftown and built on the Westmere architecture, was released on 16 March 2010 as the Core i7-980X Extreme Edition, retailing for approximately US$1,000. Intel's lower-end 6-core, the i7-970, was released in late July 2010, priced at approximately US$900. Intel's 32 nm process has a transistor density of 7.11 million transistors per square millimeter (MTr/mm2).
