"A future Xeon processor from Intel has popped up on the company's roadmap with a first-of-its-kind name and birthplace. The chip dubbed "Whitefield" has its roots in India and not the Pacific Northwest, The Register has learned.

A confidential roadmap obtained by El Reg has revealed "Whitefield" to be a Xeon processor aimed at multiprocessor servers that will arrive in 2008. The chip follows "Potomac" due out next year, and its dual-core older brother "Tulsa." But unlike its predecessors, "Whitefield" will be 100 percent designed in India with its name coming from an industrial township on the edge of Bangalore"
