We received a brief information that Intel hasn't given up on its Skulltrail, dual-socket super high end CPU, and that Francois Piednoe and his team haven’t given up of their dual socket super high end machine.

As you can imagine, you can expect two Nehalems inside, based on Nehalem EP and these two CPUs have eight cores and support for sixteen treads.

We don’t have the exact launch date, but we were told that it should be coming in one to two months time. If Intel prices these CPUs at the same level as previous Core 2 Extreme 9775 you can expect the new one to sell for a saucy $1499 per CPU.
