It's not every day 2 billion transistors are packed into one processor so Intel's upcoming Itanium, codenamed Tukwila is somewhat special. Built using the 65nm node, Tukwila is a quad-core part clocked at 2.0 GHz that has 30 MB of cache, Multi-Threading support and a TDP of 130W.

Expected to be delivered in the last quarter of this year the Tukwila CPU can be viewed just below, complete with debug connectors.
