Yesterday, we told you that Intel was launching 16 new 45nm CPUs [1], essentially doubling the size of its bleeding-edge Penryn lineup. Today, we've got the full scoop, with details on all the newly-confirmed parts. Without further ado:

Mobile Penryns (800Mhz FSB)

Desktop Penryns (1333Mhz FSB)

Server-class Xeons (1333Mhz FSB)

Holy cow, that's a whole lot of CPUs. While we've been expecting most of these parts for a while [2], thanks to leaked roadmaps and other info, its still quite exciting to see them all in the flesh. While the Core 2 Quad and Quad-core Xeon parts are delayed until later in the quarter (it seems that someone is hogging them all [3]), the rest of these CPUs should be available later this month. Also, on the mobile side, Intel CEO Paul Otellini announced during his CES keynote that the company's Menlow UMPC platform [4] will be available in Q1 of this year and that devices using the platform will start showing up during the second quarter.
