Intel Penryn CPU die caught on camera

During a recent visit to Intel, PCGH managed to capture some very revealing shots of the 45nm powerhouse, fuelling Penryn derivatives of Intel's Core 2 family.

The second image, above, puts the proportions of the CPU die into real perspective, in comparison to the 1 Euro Cent coin placed next to it and, certainly endears to the old adage of good things coming in small packages.

With the Intel Developer Forum kicking off tomorrow, we will keep you updated with the highlights of coverage, as the week progresses.
